issues with tower.app (was: Plugins not working)

[aranw]

I added the following to my config.yml file.

--- 
tranzlate: 
  enabled: true
loltext: 
  enabled: true

And it seems the image isn't getting the translated commit message added, I don't know whether my images should be renamed as well but I only ever have the one image, tmp_snapshot.jpg

[mroth]

@aranw can you please add some more details? specifically:

• what version of ruby are you running?
• do you receive any error output upon committing?
• if you run lolcommits --test --capture -m 'here is a test message' in the same repo, do you get the same results?

[aranw]

Ruby version - ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0]
No errors on commit
I get an image popping up, but nothing saved when I type lolcommits -b

[mroth]

Strange...

• The image that pops up for you on that test command, does it have the loltext properly overlaid?
• What's the path to the git repo you are in? What directory path does lolcommits -b end up opening which is empty?
• if you delete the config file and try without any configuration, does the same thing occur?

[aranw]

• loltext properly overlaid on the test image popup
• Repo is ~/Sites/AH/web, lolcommits is ~/.lolcommits/web/
• Deleted the config and folder, reenabled everything and still not working

[mroth]

Alright, I pushed a new version of lolcommits to try to get to the bottom of this. Can you do [sudo] gem install lolcommits --pre which should install v0.4.1pre1 for you.

Once that's working, set an environment variable ala export LOLCOMMITS_DEBUG=1 for the current session.

Now, whenever you run lolcommits it should dump a TON of output... let's see if that output can help shed some light on what's going on!

[aranw]

Oh? This was what I was getting, I've installed open4 and about to test it again.

For Ruby 1.8.7, the open4 library must be installed or SH won't work

Ok so I added open4 library and that got rid of the first line.

But the big error I still get.

Whoops, looks like the new plugin in 0.4.1 requires json which isn't in the bundle file yet. Can you please gem install json and see if that helps?

[aranw]

Ha it worked and gave me one hell of a screenshot! Thanks :) 👍

[aranw]

I've also found that this isn't working via Tower app, at first I was using Tower but for debugging I switched to Terminal so I could get the output. When I went back to Tower I found I was having same issue, but don't in Terminal.

[mroth]

@aranw if you go to the default OSX environment in rvm via rvm system and install lolcommits there, does it fix the issue in Tower.app?

[aranw]

Switching to rvm system has not solved the issue.

[matthutchinson]

Now fixed in gem release 0.5.5! (see the CHANGELOG for more details)

gem install lolcommits to get the latest version 👍

[matthutchinson]

NOTE: After installing the latest version you'll need to lolcommits --disable and then lolcommits --enable again to fix any existing hook already set from an earlier gem install.

If lolcommits --disable fails to remove the hook, try blowing away /path/to/your/repo/.git/hooks/post-commit (or editing that file manually to clean away any existing lolcommit applied hook before trying to enable again).
