Error:can't generate a git version, this is not a git project

[joxad]

Hello,

I have this error but I don't understand because I am in a git project : If I use git status it's working correctly : I guess this is a problem between git/gradle ?

[joxad]

my gradle

apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/passsy/gradle-GitVersioner/master/git-versioner.gradle'

def version= "${major}.${minor}.${patch}"
def code = gitVersion.version

android {

    compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.androidCompileSdkVersion
    buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.androidBuildToolsVersion

    dataBinding {
        enabled = true
    }
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "xxx"
        minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.androidMinSdkVersion
        targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.androidTargetSdkVersion
        versionCode code
        versionName version
    }
}`

This can happen if there is no .git folder. check if you can run git status manually. If you are executing on macOS, make sure you have started Xcode after you installed the last update.

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue, with the error:

-> Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git ERROR: can't generate a git version, this is not a git project

and the lines:

// check if git project
def status = 'git status'.execute([], rootDir)
status.waitFor()
def isGitProject = status.exitValue()

is always returning 128.

The thing is, this script was working perfectly before, but recently, it is starting not working, not sure what is wrong...

I am using macOS, and has Android Studio 3.0

Thanks.

If you recently upgraded macOS you have to start Xcode and install the required components. Do you have brew installed? What's the output of brew doctor? Brew would runs into the same problems.

Also consider upgrading to https://github.com/passsy/gradle-GitVersioner

Thanks, @passsy , It works now :)

I think somehow the git on my mac is not linked with Brew, I tried it now, and it is working perfectly.
