Issue with release command

[pablopareja]

Hello everyone!

I just got this weird error in sbt when hitting release command:

release [error] java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git.exe": CreateProcess error=2 , The system cannot find the file specified [error] Use 'last' for the full log.

Any ideas?

[laughedelic]

it says:

Cannot run program "git.exe"

Because it uses git to commit version change and make a tag, etc. So try quit sbt and run git. If it doesn't work, something is wrong with your git. Tell me if that's the case.

[laughedelic]

May be git is just not in your $PATH, so show it to me ")

[pablopareja]

Typing git doesn't work, I'm gonna try adding it to $PATH

[laughedelic]

sorry, I edited your message, because in this case that last log is not needed ")

[laughedelic]

Did you solve it?

[pablopareja]

Not really, it looks like I have to do something else now:

release [error] Aborting release. Working directory is dirty. [error] Use 'last' for the full log.

[pablopareja]

Maybe I should clean somehow the directory? (I just don't know how... :smiley: )

[eparejatobes]

commit your changes

[pablopareja]

just did and I keep getting the same error, do you want me to paste what I get when I type "last" ?

[laughedelic]

no, better paste, what you get from git status

[eparejatobes]

you probably have stuff outside of your working tree

[pablopareja]

There you go:

C:\era7\ppareja\proyectos\JAVA\bio4j-model>git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       deleted:    src/main/java/com/era7/Lalalala.java
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

[eparejatobes]

git rm src/main/java/com/era7/Lalalala.java
git commit -am 'delete test file'

[laughedelic]

wai-wai-wait "/ why do you need to do git rm? Why not just

git commit -am 'delete test file'

?

[pablopareja]

jijiji too late! I already removed it and release seem to be working :wink:

[eparejatobes]

@laughedelic that it won't work is a good reason (for the first thing you posted)

Your updated version works just fine

[laughedelic]

ok, then closing it.

[pablopareja]

Wait! It looked like it was about to finish but it got frozen here:

> release
[info] Starting release process off commit: 20d2ed7ca99bb61945844b694460ea14205d
6e69
[info] Checking remote [origin] ...

Is it possible that this is caused by my internet connection?

[eparejatobes]

git remote -v show

?

[pablopareja]

$ git remote -v show
origin  git@github.com:bio4j/bio4j-model.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:bio4j/bio4j-model.git (push)

[eparejatobes]

@pablopareja pull changes, you had a lot of eclipse-specific stuff there

[pablopareja]

Just did it and ran release again but it looks like it got stucked at the same place... (my internet connection shouldn't be a problem because I'm doing other things at the same time at it works fine...)

[eparejatobes]

@laughedelic something related with timetracking maybe? or funny git on windows stuff?

[laughedelic]

ok, well. @pablopareja show me please your .git/config file

[pablopareja]

Where's that? :smile:

[laughedelic]

in your repo, where you do all this stuff.

[laughedelic]

I hope all this was solved somehow..
