Offhand, my guess would be that the commit-msg hook isn't platform independent and is giving you problems on Windows. As a workaround, you can amend your latest commit on master (git commit -a --amend) and copy+paste that suggested Change-Id into the message.

Chad, could you explain how to c&p the Change-ID into the message? I am not familar with messaging the push command. Thanks a lot.

So, in that error response to you it said:

remote: Suggestion for commit message: [snip] remote: Change-Id: I5563ab61e3017eaeddd30ca270b9916d64f809cb

That change-id is an acceptable unused one that you can use right away. So copy that, then amend your commit like I suggested (git commit -a --amend), paste the change-id in the footer. Then try pushing like you did (that part was correct :))

or the hook was installed in the wrong place or has the wrong perms? (execute bit?)

or maybe it's the environment. try using git bash? or else just ditch windows!

No. Not for me. I have not found a way be able to use for example add_text.py from compat.

What about

There's no way to "convert" an installation, you just have to re-checkout

all the files, and copy your user-config and any other custom scripts into the new directory. -- Legoktm

I want more information on installation proces.

It is better. core is ok, but i have still problems with compat:

mkdir pywikipedia cd pywikipedia git clone --recursive https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/compat.git git clone --recursive https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/core.git

mkdir .pywikibot copy user-config.py and user-fixes.py

** my .profile ***

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/pywikipedia/core/ export PYTHONPATH

PYWIKIBOT_DIR=~/.pywikibot export PYWIKIBOT_DIR

Traceback (most recent call last): File "../../compat/add_text.py", line 79, in <module> import wikipedia as pywikibot File "/home/username/pywikipedia/compat/wikipedia.py", line 156, in

It's a bug and needs to be fixed but for a fast solution, copy your

user-fixes.py and user-config.py to the compat folder I think It will erase the error but I need to fix it in long-term

Looks like you have compat in "/home/username/pywikipedia/compat/" but _base_dir is '/home/username/.pywikibot'

_base_dir is determined in the following order - 1. If the script was called with a -dir: argument, use the directory provided in this argument 2. If the user has a PYWIKIBOT_DIR environment variable, use the value of it 3. If the script was started from a directory that contains a user-config.py file, use this directory as the base 4. If all else fails, use the directory from which this module was loaded. 5. If the user-config.py file is not found, another will be created in the current directory, following in the footsteps of project, language and bot username.

To me you must make sure _base_dir will return "/home/username/pywikipedia/compat/", so it will find subdir families.

No, I know about that page but it's not useful. I know I must do a new checkout, but I'd use a guide on how to do so in the best way. How to list "my" files in the folder (there are so many...)? What will happen with files with local modifications (svn handles them very easily)? What changes in git compared to what you can/have to do with svn?

For now I only tried making the checkout and then moving over all old files, but then I can't merge them because git thinks everything is up to date. I guess I can try doing the opposite, but it's so easy to waste hours and get terrible headaches with git that I know I'll be too lazy to do any update for months (until something breaks horribly) unless I have a guide. Thanks.

+1 There is a problem with changes on the working copy which are not committed or stashed. Pulling the repo often fails with the following:

C:\pwb\compat>git pull "origin" master -v --progress

From https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/compat

* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Updating f9f28e8..9fe0bc2 error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: externals/__init__.py Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. Aborting

svn merged it automatically if there where no conficts and if there where some conflicts I could easy solve it. Any ideas for that flow with git?

xqt

I always use git stash git pull

And It works for me

Untested, but you could try:

git stash git pull git stash pop

Federico Leva (Nemo), 16/10/2013 10:10:

For the records, I've been happy to see some work on wiki documentation, but if a guide for SVN checkout conversion appeared I've missed it. I tried to do

1. checkout of compat,
2. copy of old checkout over new one, and
3. git stash / git pull / git stash pop

as suggested in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla/Fields , but git pull claims everything is up to date and while I get my files back the checkout is broken. Hence, still using last SVN version (+ the https hack).

Hallo Federico Leva (Nemo):

I've still not seen any instructions, BTW. Having to move files one by one from old to new checkout is a pain.

To be honest, at least to me it's not really clear what you're trying to achieve and what the troubles you're experiencing are. In an earlier mail you wrote

but git pull claims everything is up to date and while I get my files back the checkout is broken. Hence, still using last SVN version (+ the https hack)

but it's unclear in which way the checkout is broken.
