gl status on OS X fails with installed gl-v0.8-darwin-x86_64.tar

$ gl status
On branch master, repo-directory //gltest

Thanks for reporting this.

In the particular line where it crashes (561 of core.py) the app is trying to get the status of all files in the repo. I assume your repo doesn't include the /Users/.../Saved Application State/com.bitrock.appinstaller.savedState directory, right?

If you can answer the following questions it might help me figure out what's going on:

• The package you installed is the one available from http://gitless.com, right?
• Is it just gl status or do other gl commands fail as well (with the same error)? can you try doing gl diff?
• Does it happen consistently every time you do gl status or only occasionally?
• If you do git status does it work fine?

before tat, „gl init“ was ok
now tried „gl track hallo.txt“ -> ok, no error

Q: what about that folder com.bitrock.appinstaller.savedState? the download was only a tar, no installer

Q: what about that folder com.bitrock.appinstaller.savedState? the
download was only a tar, no installer

Mac OS saves the state of running applications under the Saved Application State folder so that they can be resumed later when you relaunch the app
or after some reboot.

The com.bitrock.appinstaller.savedState folder could have been created by
any app that used bitrock's install builder to bundle their app (for
example, I think cmake does). Gitless uses pyinstaller to create the binary
(and we have no installer) so it shouldn't have been created by Gitless.

But I do have that folder on my Library path, so what I am trying to figure
out now is whether when I create the gl binary this folder gets (for some
reason) included in the binary. If you do ls -al /Users/stefan/Library/Saved Application State/com.bitrock.appinstaller.savedState/ what do you see?

Seems like those files were there before you installed Gitless (Dec
2013). Chances are that if you change the permissions to the directory and
the files within it so that your current user can read them then it would
work. Maybe you can you try doing that (let me know if it works).

I am still puzzled as to why the execution of
self.gl_repo.git_repo.status().items() would even attempt to read that
directory. Maybe the Python interpreter is trying to find something under
/Users/.../Library. I am going to try to reproduce the problem locally
and figure out what's going on.

I've been unable to reproduce this so I am closing this issue. If you run into this problem again reopen the issue with more info, thanks
