Hi!
Az last -- as SVN is totally broken -- I downloaded the latest nightly of compat. First problem: whatever script I try to run DOS (Windows command) writes me the thing in subject. I think I have nothing to do with this stuff called git at the moment and didn't say to Windows to run anything by this name. Why I am damned with these messages and how can I prevent them? At the moment I just want to use my bot.
Second problem: version.py from latest nightly says: Pywikibot: wikipedia.py (r-1 (unknown), b1e1a57, 2014/01/01, 13:01:20, OUTDATED) Release version: 1.0b1
Why?
Yes, I really AM very angry and frustrated with this whole mess and I wish we have never thrown away a well working system just for nothing. Once I used to be a developer of this framework, now I have troubles with making it run at all. I feel I have to build and learn everything again from scratch what I had built and learnt for years. Arghhhxcnmv^^ˇ#&>@&{˘°~˘^°~˘^
Hi.
For you first question, I think it is because pywikibot/version.py wants to get your version from your git repository: See pywikibot/version.py: try: (tag, rev, date, hsh) = getversion_git() -> it will try to run git, which you do not have installed.
How to prevent them, I have no clue right know. Just a rough idea, if possible at all: it should be checked that you have git before invoking it or block the error message from the system.
Regarding your second point, see it as an opportunity to learn :-)
Bye Mpaa

Hi.
For you first question, I think it is because pywikibot/version.py wants to get your version from your git repository: See pywikibot/version.py: try: (tag, rev, date, hsh) = getversion_git() -> it will try to run git, which you do not have installed.
Yes, but why does replace.py do this? Will every script every time try to run git? Why? I don't want to update or check my installation all the time, I just want to USE it in peace.
How to prevent them, I have no clue right know. Just a rough idea, if possible at all: it should be checked that you have git before invoking it or block the error message from the system.
No, I don't have it and don't need it momentarily, as far as nightly works. I will have to install it at a later time, but not today. How can I block such a message? Or how can I make PWB understand that I am not a git user and I want to use the script? This is not only litter, it wastes my time as well.
Regarding your second point, see it as an opportunity to learn :-)
That's the third one. :-) Well, you can ruin the home of a man and tell him it's a good opportunity to build a new one... I have been learning all my life and I always have more opportunities than possibilities (time), so I didn't really want to learn something that had worked well previously. Anyway, I will have to learn it if I want to contribute to the framework ever again, but now I want to use it. It was enogh for the forst time to learn months before I could really use it.

I'm confused by this -- as far as I know the message can just be ignored. In the meanwhile, I have created https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59963 as a note it should still be fixed.

Because nightlies are missing their required 'version' file. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55129

I'm sorry you feel this way. No-one was very happy switching to git, but we did not have much of a choice -- svn.wikimedia.org would go down, no matter what. Of all the alternatives, switching to git/gerrit was the most reasonable one. Overall, I'm unhappy with the migration, as this was frustrating for developers and users alike, but I am also happy with some things - we have seen an influx of new developers, especially during the Google Code-In, and we now have a very nice integration between the bug tracker. I'm also really happy with the pre-commit code review, which (I think) improves pywikibot overall.

Hi Bináris,
the first bug due to git should be solved with Merlijns commits
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/107006 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/107007
I've deeply reviewed that on windows PC. Sorry for that missspelling on my last message via smartphone.
Greetings

Bináris, I know that feeling as I had the same frustrating problems with git/gerrit stuff. If I could help or support you, please contact me. Do you working on windows?
