No such file or directory error: external filter .... clean' failed

[theoryshaw]

Not sure how to troubleshoot this one.

I'm syncing my repos to a new machine via dropbox.

when i do git status I get the following...

https://gist.github.com/theoryshaw/d22d41300037d399553d58eb0b6b11ca

The old machine had a C:/path, the new one D:/ for the repos.

Anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions?

github repo, if curious: https://github.com/OpeningDesign/Sports_Complex

Also, when I do a clean clone to either C: or D: on my machine, and then unlock the repo, I don't have these errors.

I'd rather not go down this route, if I don't have to, as I have a lot of repos i'd have to reclone again.

Hi @spaceCh1mp
rm -f .git/index.lock
I ran that command yesterday, while trying to troubleshoot, and didn't seem to work.

I also tried this...

The official way to fix this is to lock the repo (or re-clone it) and then unlock. This will refresh the Git config with the new path to git-crypt.exe. If you don't want to do that, then you can edit .git/config and replace the C:\ paths with D:\ paths.

Please note that @spaceCh1mp clearly doesn't know what they're talking about.

Hi Guys, In all fairness, I tried both approaches.

@AGWA's approach of changing the paths in the .git/config file was the one that worked. I did not have to reclone.

Thanks to both of you, however.

@AGWA happy to shoot you the gitcoin bounty, if you jump on and claim.

[filter "git-crypt"] smudge = \"D:\\\\Dropbox\\\\GitHub\\\\Sports Complex\\\\Open\\\\Sports_Complex\\\\git-crypt.exe\" smudge clean = \"D:\\\\Dropbox\\\\GitHub\\\\Sports Complex\\\\Open\\\\Sports_Complex\\\\git-crypt.exe\" clean required = true [diff "git-crypt"] textconv = \"D:\\\\Dropbox\\\\GitHub\\\\Sports Complex\\\\Open\\\\Sports_Complex\\\\git-crypt.exe\" diff

Also fyi, i had to git reset --mixed to reset things after changing the paths.

As an outside observer who actively uses and understands git-crypt, I can confirm that what @spaceCh1mp suggested isn't even related to this issue nor does it even indicate an awareness of how smudge/clean work and what might go wrong with a moved repository.
