'wc' is not recognized on Windows (have to use cygwin to use gitstats)

[KarolKaczmarek]

Hi,

I was unable to use gitstats on Windows (unless I run it through cygwin).

It complains that wc command is unrecognized, which is expected as it's not present on Windows:

C:\Program Files>python C:\git\gitstats\gitstats C:\git\DscPublisher C:\git\GitS
tatsOutputDscPublisher
[0.03100] >> gnuplot --version
Output path: C:\git\GitStatsOutputDscPublisher
Git path: C:\git\DscPublisher

'wc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
[0.03100] >> git shortlog -s HEAD | wc -l
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\git\gitstats\gitstats", line 1490, in <module>
    g.run(sys.argv[1:])
  File "C:\git\gitstats\gitstats", line 1465, in run
    data.collect(gitpath)
  File "C:\git\gitstats\gitstats", line 289, in collect
    self.total_authors += int(getpipeoutput(['git shortlog -s %s' % getlogrange(
), 'wc -l']))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

One of the lines which uses wc is:

        self.total_authors += int(getpipeoutput(['git shortlog -s %s' % getlogrange(), 'wc -l']))

When I tried running gitstats through cygwin, everything worked, but I don't see it listed as requirement anywhere, so I'd assume it should be running on Windows without it as well.

wc is present on my machine. I believe msysgit brought it.
Ok it didn't. Anaconda is a Python distribution and I'm not sure how it came in through that. Might be an option for you nevertheless.

C:\latex\phd-thesis-kauer>where wc
C:\Anaconda\Scripts\wc.exe

how to resolve this issue on windows

the steps for resolving this issue - as well as for resolving others that can arise with attempting to run gitstats- i found here.

They are

• find your git installation e.g Program Files\Git or \AppData\Local\Programs\Git
• go to the child folder, usr\bin (where wc.exe can be found)
• add the complete path of the folder e.g Program Files\Git\usr\bin to the Path Environmental Variable
• restart command prompt
