CodeLite IDE

Hi,

I'm using codelite 5.4 on Win8 professionnal, and decided to use the git plugin. But I'm a little bit confused.

When I try to configure the plugin to enter the git path, it's not saved.
To configure the plugin, I go to plugins / git / git plugin settings. I enter "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe" in the git path, but I got :

Failed to execute git command!

in the git log tab
When I re-open the git plugin configuration, it's back to the default value : git (without the full path I entered).

If I add git to the path, the git plugin works, but codelite dooesn't build anymore... probably due to cygwin environment (well, I suppose so)

Any clue ?

Hi,

Can you please give it a try with latest git head? there was a bug in saving git configuration which I fixed in git head

Thanks,
Eran

Also, if you can't build head atm, try changing the configuration by hand:
- close codelite
- open %APPDATA%\CodeLite\config\git.conf

Search for:
m_pathGIT and set its value to the proper path ( escape any backslash with \\)

So in your example, the value should be: Eran

So in your example, the value should be:

Code: Select all

"m_pathGIT" : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Git\\bin\\git.exe"

Thanks, that works
