Installation error about garb HOT 9 CLOSED

Make sure you have "git" executable in your PATH.
You can check it from cmd.exe by typing "git --version".

At first I had vigetlabs's garb installed, but same error after removing that.

I was able to clone this repository from git, but couldn't get it to install from source either. Something about lack of a gem file. Tried building it from the gemspec, and I get "Invalid gemspec in [garb.gemspec]: No such file or directory - git ls-files ERROR: Error loading gemspec. Aborting."

Is anyone else having this problem, or am I having a bizarre error on my end? And yes, I'm on Windows 7.

Git's in my path :\

Try setting up git by following instructions from https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git#platform-windows.
Hope it helps.

I have git version 1.7.11.msysgit.1 on my computer. I'll download the (non-developer? the shiny blue one) version of git for windows and try again.

As far as I can tell, the problem is with line 12 in the gemspec: " gem.files = git ls-files.split $\ " I checked vidget's gemspec file, and that gemspec lists each file name directly in the gem.files = line. My friend's suggesting that gem doesn't recognize git or can't find git's path, even though Ruby does. I'll try the other version of git for Windows, but that doesn't work I'll just install a VM and run it on Linux.

Thanks.

Hi!

https://github.com/Sija/garb/blob/master/garb.gemspec#L12 invokes ls-file git command which is system independent (http://linux.die.net/man/1/git-ls-files). Vigetlab's version specifies all files in a static array instead of pulling list of them from git, which apparently causes problem for your windows installation.

Windows, at least my computer, doesn't know how to deal with the ls command, I believe. I checked vidget's gemspec file, and that gemspec lists each file name directly in the gem.files = line.

I'll let you know if the other Windows version of git works, cause if it's Windows/ls command compatibility thing, I find it weird no one else has had an issue on Windows.

Yes, you're right about the first part. The ls-file error doesn't have to do with Windows.

Today and last week I've tried cloning this repository, and I got it to work on Windows, but I just tried on Ubuntu and I got "fatal: remote error: Repository not found." which was what I was getting on and off last week on Windows. But I guess it's a fluke or something since I've gotten it to work.

Feel free to close the error if you feel, since it's most likely something with my install and not your fork. I'm not sure what else can be done.

from garb.

Okay, I got your fork installed on the Linux VM. The remote error was probably a fluke since I don't think anything was done differently the second time. As far as my windows install, whatever. Thanks for the help!

from garb.

I'm glad it worked for you! :)

from garb.

Yup, thanks! It was actually a really stupid-easy solution.

clone repository
cd garb
bundle install
rake install

I'm not entirely sure why, but perhaps something in bundle helped gem get past the git ls-file line.
