gitpython version: 2.1.8
git version: 1.8.3.1
python version: 2.7.5
I'm using REL7. This is not an issue in REL6 (not sure if I should post here or somewhere else...)
To reproduce on REL7:
- create repo in your home dir with 700 permissions
cd $repo
sudo -u $someotheruser python -c "import git"
here, someotheruser is not able to read $repo
I get this error: `Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/git/__init__.py", line 82, in <module>
refresh()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/git/__init__.py", line 73, in refresh
if not Git.refresh(path=path):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 293, in refresh
raise ImportError(err)
ImportError: Bad git executable.
The git executable must be specified in one of the following ways:
- be included in your $PATH
- be set via $GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE
- explicitly set via git.refresh()
All git commands will error until this is rectified.
This initial warning can be silenced or aggravated in the future by setting the
$GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH environment variable. Use one of the following values:
- quiet|q|silence|s|none|n|0: for no warning or exception
- warn|w|warning|1: for a printed warning
- error|e|raise|r|2: for a raised exception
Example:
export GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH=quiet
