Every 30s I'm getting a warning: "Command '\"git\" init' failed" when run as snap #1306

Expected behaviour

Everything seems to work as expected, but seems to be stuck in some strange state.

Actual behaviour

The features I used work as expected.

Steps to reproduce

Did not used the app for a couple of weeks and now when I opend it I'm getting this warning every 30s. I set it to "don't display again", but something might be broken that's not in plain view right now.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS
QOwnNotes installed via snap. Made sure I upgraded to the latest version today, current version is:
QOwnNotes - version 19.10.4 - Snapcraft - build 595

Git is installed in the system and work as expected in command line.
Git path is not an issue:

git: /usr/bin/git

When setting this path in the git config of QOwnNotes I'm getting pretty much the same error:

[Oct 10 23:04:05] [warning]: "Command '\"/usr/bin/git\" init' failed"

As git does not seem to be the issue, the init command fails due to some reason, but don't know the folder it's trying to execute it in, and not sure what's the real error returned by git.

Let me know if there is another debug flag to enable to get more details.

isUseGit: yes

You have git support turned on for your note folder, do you have git installed?

marisradu · 2019-10-10T20:10:14Z

Yes, git is installed. I even set-up the git path manually and getting the same error but with the new path, so the issue seems to come from the "init" command, but the log does not reveal the actual return from "git init", that might help.

BTW: If I go the the terminal and run "git init" in the note folder, everything works as expected:

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/radu/pCloudDrive/Documents/Notes/.git/

but still getting the warnings, guessing it's trying to run "git init" in another folder ?

pbek · 2019-10-10T20:20:29Z

What happens if you remove the .git folder in your note folder?
Or maybe there is some AppArmor problem that is preventing the execution of git from inside the snap.

marisradu · 2019-10-10T20:29:48Z

Extra tests:

manually git init in folder
same warning
re-open QOwnNotes (hoping it's not stuck in state, tries git status at init and moves forward)
same warning

Another as requested by @pbek :

remove .git folder
same warning
re-open QOwnNotes
same warning

pbek · 2019-10-11T06:23:11Z

I've the same issue when running QOwnNotes as a snap. It really seems you cannot execute commands outside your home folder. (see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/how-do-i-run-bash-commands-from-a-go-program-inside-a-snap/12686/2)

You could experiment by creating a symlink of /usr/bin/git to your home folder and setting the git path to it in the QON settings.

pbek · 2020-12-31T05:43:05Z

I will close this issue until there is more information.

lwinkler · 2024-01-18T07:41:29Z

I had the same issue this morning, also with QOwnNotes installed via snap on Ubuntu. Creating a symlink did not help.

[08:37:33] [warning] "Command 'git' (" ("init") ) failed

pbek · 2024-01-18T08:16:45Z

Hm, I wonder if there is a good way in snaps to allow that...

lwinkler · 2024-01-18T12:25:21Z

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I compiled QOwnNotes from sources and it worked so the problem is indeed linked with snap.
There may be some comments on this page that may help: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/using-git-from-a-program/12599/11

Other than this the warning in my previous post contained a lot of suspicious "(". I wondered if it is significant.

pbek · 2024-01-18T12:38:44Z

You simply could have tried the AppImage, which also has no confinement. 😉
I just recently spend 2 weeks and like 70 commits to get the Snaps from Core18 to 20 and then 22. 😬
Why are there never such issues with Flatpak...

I'm also not sure what's the ( is about. But it works without confinement...

pbek · 2024-01-18T20:10:48Z

@lwinkler, if the snap build process runs through, there might be a new release you can test on the snap "edge" channel within an hour or so.

pbek · 2024-01-20T12:02:46Z

Anyone?

pbek · 2024-01-20T12:55:24Z

Ok, I think I finally got everything in that git needs in a snap.

lwinkler · 2024-01-22T08:31:30Z

Hi. Sorry for the delayed reply.

I did manage to install version 24.1.5

channels: latest/stable: 24.1.4 2024-01-18 (11128) 146MB - latest/candidate: ↑ latest/beta: ↑ latest/edge: 24.1.5 2024-01-22 (11146) 153MB - installed: 24.1.5 (11146) 153MB -

I created a new note folder but I still have notifications that git init failed. The log error message says:

[09:23:52] [warning] "Command '/usr/bin/git' (" ("init") ) failed

pbek · 2024-01-22T09:29:00Z

That's strange. I was getting the error before I started to work on it on Ubuntu 23.10. And after I worked through all the issues, there was no error (because there were multiple after "git" was enabled after the first commit) everything worked fine, and the notes were committed.

pbek · 2024-01-22T09:29:56Z

Can you maybe try to remove the snap first and then installing it again? I did that once in the process. Maybe it's a snap issue (again).

lwinkler · 2024-01-22T16:57:27Z

OK. Now I managed to get it to work. There is a small matter though. In the setting the "path to git executable" must remain empty (using default git exe). Otherwise if I set it to "/bin/git" for example, I get the the error message again.

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04.

Thanks a ton for the amazing reaction time.

pbek · 2024-01-22T20:27:09Z

Yes, of course. The path it needs points inside the snap, since it can't execute things outside of it.

QOwnNotes/snap/snapcraft.yaml

Lines 22 to 28 in d4fbe31

    
           GIT_EXEC_PATH: $SNAP/usr/lib/git-core 
        
           GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR: $SNAP/usr/share/git-core/templates 
        
           GIT_AUTHOR_NAME: "QOwnNotes" 
        
           GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL: "snap@qownnotes.git" 
        
           GIT_COMMITTER_NAME: "QOwnNotes" 
        
           GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL: "snap@qownnotes.git" 
        
           EMAIL: "snap@qownnotes.git"

...is taking care of everything. Took a while to reverse-engineere all of it.

lwinkler · 2024-01-23T06:56:38Z

Thanks again.

Just for clarity: for anyone having this issue: if QOwnNotes in installed from snap, the "git executable" field should be left blank.

pbek · 2024-01-23T07:37:28Z

Yes, or you enter the correct path. 😁 I'm on NixOS. If I'd enter /bin/git I'd have the same issue. 😆

pbek · 2024-01-30T19:02:04Z

24.1.5

the Snap version of QOwnNotes is now able to use git

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?
