repository 'default' does not exist

I cannot get around this error:

Hi @mmahalwy, thanks for your report!

What system and fish version are you using?

Could you also please check if the command below returns something?

git config --global core.autocrlf

[mmahalwy]

fish: fish, version 2.4.0-231-gd885f00
OS: macOS Sierra
Git: git version 2.11.0

Command

git config --global core.autocrlf

Does not return anything

Hi @mmahalwy,
Two more troubleshooting questions:

1. Do you sometimes have internet connection issues?
2. Can you please paste the output from
   cat ~/.local/share/omf/db/themes/default
   ?

For some reason the installer assumed that default is a name of a plugin and not a theme. From there it looked for the URL in the wrong place and obviously failed to clone it.

Note to ourselves:
This is not the root of the problem here, but 1^&2 is not a valid syntax in fish 2.4.
Maybe it was sometime before and it changed. Now this should be 1>&2.

[sagebind]

@oranja Looks like the redirection changed in 2.4: fish-shell/fish-shell#1873

This should be fixed in the install code.

[mmahalwy]

@oranja

1. I was at Starbucks, so maybe
2. https://github.com/oh-my-fish/theme-default

[oranja]

I thought maybe the clone was interrupted or corrupt, but (2) proves otherwise (besides, git or the installer probably would have noticed it).

Did you try again since then? Preferably after deleting the current ~/.local/share/omf folder.

Just to be sure, can you also paste the outputs of:

1. command git --version
   to see if you have any wrapper around git that the installer doesn't see?

2. test \( -e ~/.local/share/omf/db/themes/default \); and echo ok; or echo hmm
   just because that's pretty much the failing point.

3. command git config --get-all core.autocrlf; or echo default autocrlf
command git config --get-all core.eol; or echo default eol
   because this really smells like a line endings issue (we get these quite a lot with OS X).

Hi @vitohuang, @mmahalwy,

Seems like in #499 we got much closer to a solution for the same, or a similar problem. I'd like to find out whether it's the same issue for you or that we have more investigations to do. Can you please take a look and see if it leads you to a solution?

(And sorry for the long delay, this is really a strange issue)

[odGit]

I am experiencing the same issue as @vitohuang
I am in Ubuntu 16.04 on Windows 10.
I am using CURL install.

Have following output for:

1. git version 2.13.0
2. cat ~/.local/share/omf/db/themes/default returns cat: /home/bob/.local/share/omf/db/themes/default: No such file or directory
3. git config --global core.autocrlf returns true
git config --global core.eol doesn't return

[ethanquix]

Using Ubuntu 16.04, same error than above, and my internet connection is good

@odGit, @ethanquix
Hi, this is a very strange problem and we're trying to figure out what's causing it, but it seems to be something very subtle, so we need as much detail as possible.

This includes:

• The complete output from the install attempt. Censor sensitive information, sure, but don't "fix" anything that seems a little off. If you can, backup important data and try to remove any residues from previous attempts to install OMF ($HOME/.config/omf and $HOME/.local/share/omf), then close the active fish instances and try to install again with a fresh fish instance.
• What exactly is your operating systems: when you say Ubuntu 16.04, please clarify if that's Ubuntu subsystem on Windows or a full Ubuntu distribution.
• git and fish versions

command fish --version
command git --version

• How did you install fish? Was it homebrew, linuxbrew, apt-get with default repositories, apt-get with fish PPA, or did you build from source?
• Where is fish installed?

command which fish

• Do you have more than one setup of fish?
• git configuration, from these two commands:

command git config --get-all core.autocrlf; or echo default autocrlf
command git config --get-all core.eol; or echo default eol

• The value of $HOME

echo $HOME

• Any other clues you think might help get to the bottom of this.

Note that .../omf/db/themes/default is no longer relevant. Data is retrieved from an online repository instead of a local folder. If you still see it in your logs, that might be a big fat clue.
Anyway, any detail helps.

@odGit, it'll be easier to say for certain with a full log, but in your case, I suspect it's the core.autocrlf issue again (even though we thought we fixed it in #458). true value is rarely the desired option on OS X, so unless you know you need it that way, try setting it to input or clearing it (see this for a little more information)

[sagebind]

@oranja Looking at the code path, this error could happen if omf.index.stat $name_or_url type repository fails for some reason, which tells me that there's something wrong with the package index for these users. I'll keep investigating.

Edit: Here's one thing I see. Before installing the default packages, omf install updates the package repos using omf.index.update. I would expect the install log to show that the default package repository was updated, but it was not. For example, here's a clean install log I ran just now:

curl -L http://get.oh-my.fish | fish

@oranja
I am in Ubuntu shell on Windows 10 and my git version is git version 2.13.0

1. Uninstalled fish and omf, and deleted manually /home/user/.local/share/omf
2. Reinstalled fish with PPA
3. fish --version returns fish, version 2.6.0
4. git config --global core.autocrlf false
5. mkdir code && chmod 644 code/
6. cd code
7. git clone https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish.git
8. cd oh-my-fish/bin/install --offline
9. PROFIT: Got my omf working!

I think step.4 solved my problem.

I need core.autocrlf set to true, because rest of the team is on UNIX systems. Let's see how it will work for me. I will keep you updated on my experience.
Thank you for your help.
I 💚 omf

[sagebind]

@odGit @oranja Oh!!!! It all makes sense now!

We have a .gitattributes on the oh-my-fish repo, but not the packages-main repo. So since core.autocrlf was enabled, all occurrences of \n get turned into \r\n.

Then, when the installer installs the default plugins, it tries to install the theme named default. So it looks up a package named default with type = theme, but all it found is default with type = theme\r (notice the \r) and assumes the word default must be a URL and not a package name. So then it tells Git to clone default, which of course fails.

The fix is to add a .gitattributes file to the packages-main repo also. I'll do that now.

[oranja]

duh!! I was staring long and hard at the .gitattributes file on this repo, with a stern "you had one job!!" accusation, and completely forgot about packages-main.

Sharp as always, @sagebind

[sagebind]

This should now be permanently fixed; closing this issue. (It looks like the original issue was solved by #459 as well.)
