Failing to use source control

Hey Christopher,

I am an absolute noob to programming, but I have to do some for my work and wanted to use rubberduck.
Unfortunately I did not manage to achieve any of the above behaviour.
I..

• created an emtpy and new repository
• cloned it
• started the excel worksheet
• opened the IDE
• chose rubberduck\source control
• clicked "open working directory"
• entered name and password and clicked ok

I cannot chose a branch nor can I do anything else that does make sense. The files are copied to the working directory but that's it.
On just trying again I got a .NET Error which is too long to paste here (see link below) - but what looks strange at first sight is a wrong path saying
"Rubberduck.SourceControl.GitProvider.get_CurrentBranch() in c:\Users\Mathieu\Source\Repos\Rubberduck\Rubberduck.SourceControl\GitProvider.cs"

Neither is there a user Mathieu nor do the subfolders exist in my user's folder.

Creating a new repo from inside rubberduck doesn't change anything.

Can you help me? I feel very stupid...

Cheers
Martin

Hmm, sounds like a bug here. First, did you create a branch in your repo, or is it an empty shell? If you did not create a branch, RD won't be able to see any branches.

Second, "Mathieu" is one of the project owners. It sounds as if there is something incorrectly hard-coded somewhere if you got that crash.

Hi Martin,

I'm the Mathieu you're seeing - the stack traces show the build path of whoever made the release build; next version (2.0b) should have stack traces with @Hosch250's build path 😉

They're just debugging info that's normally not included in a commercial product, but including all the debugging info in releases helps us tracking issues and debugging things.

Which version are you using?

Well, I created a new repo with the master branch... I'm quite new even to Git but for my other repos it works that way: creating a repository includes creating the master branch..

I'm using 1.4.3 I guess.. the latest "stable" release

[Hosch250]

The sequence contains no matching element
bei System.Linq.Enumerable.First[TSource](IEnumerable1 source, Func2 predicate)
bei Rubberduck.SourceControl.GitProvider.get_CurrentBranch() in c:\Users\Mathieu\Source\Repos\Rubberduck\Rubberduck.SourceControl\GitProvider.cs:Zeile 83.

That is just because there isn't a branch. Definitely something we should be looking into.

[Hosch250]

I'm using 1.4.3 I guess.. the latest "stable" release.

If you can clone, it is probably not 1.4.3. I wrote that long after 1.4.3 was out.

damn.. you guys are quick... :-)
Thanks

uhm.. I clone it by using tortoisGit.. forgot to mention that

[Hosch250]

Oh. I'm betting you can't build the latest commit, and the alpha isn't stable, so... Basically, your issue is old--we've rewritten the SC twice since then... We really need to get the beta out the door.

[retailcoder]

v1.4.3 source control integration was really just an "alpha preview" that turned out being broken... basically what @Hosch250 just said: we need to stabilize the damn thing and release a beta yesterday

wellok.. I figured out that there seem to be no branch... trying to fix that...

no error any more, but still in tab "changes" it says branch "master"
all other tabs are empty

ok.. but using rubberduck 2.xx alpha is not recommended either?

[Hosch250]

No.

allright, so I'll be patient...
Thanks a lot for your replys and efforts. It's great anyway that anyone (you! ;-) ) builds such a cool tool.
Cheers

Closing as obsolete since this is version 1.4.3.
