Does MacPlastic support git sync?

derkork · September 15, 2015

I couldn't find any option to create a git synchronization in MacPlastic. Does the client actually support this? If not how can I create a git synchronization on the command line?

manu · September 15, 2015

It's not having GUI support yet but you can do it using the command line:

cm sync default@localhost:8087 git https://github.com/id-Software/Quake.git

derkork · September 15, 2015

Hmm, sorry that didn't work out:

$ cm sync databuilder@my-server.de:8087 git https://github.com/derkork/test-data-builder.git
Receiving references... \Error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

Ok, I'm sorry.... I didn't realize the mono bundled is not having all the dlls. We'll fix that.

I have a workaround, similar than the steps written here: http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/3017-intellij-plugin/

1) Install Mono 3.0.3 MDK: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.0.3/macos-10-x86/

2) Download the client zip directory from here: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/5.4.16.691/macosx

3) Place the remoting.conf file "/Applications/macplastic.app/Contents/MonoBundle/remoting.conf" inside the "client" binaries dir.

4) Paste the attached libraries inside the "client" binaries dir. lib.zip

5) Use

mono cm.exe sync databuilder@my-server.de:8087 git https://github.com/derkork/test-data-builder.git

In order to get the repository imported.

Make sure you use the mono 3.0.3 (mono --version will help you)

derkork · September 23, 2015

Well, a bit better, but still not quite there...


 j.thomae$ ./cm sync databuilder@my-server.de:8087 git https://github.com/derkork/test-data-builder.git

manu · September 23, 2015

Can you double check the "cm" script is using the Mono 3.0.3?

derkork · September 23, 2015

Contents of the CM script:

#!/bin/bash
DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mono $DIR/cm.exe $@

Output of mono --version

Ok!

I'm sorry it's a known issue that is fixed in the 691 release.

GitHub changed a thing making unusable our push operation.

derkork · September 23, 2015

Just installed 692. Still no luck:

I had to Ctrl+C the process because it wouldn't stop on its own. Apart from that: how and where I would do the merging that plastic asks me to do?

derkork · September 23, 2015

Ok, I tried to merge this stuff in the GUI client's branch explorer.

This didn't work out either, I got this wenn I clicked on "Process all merges":

The contents of .plastic4/guiclient.conf are:

*sigh* - it seems like this really isn't ready for primetime yet.

manu · September 23, 2015

Just remove that file and start macplastic.

I'm testing push/pull and works fine for me, I can't understand why you need to kill it, I'm wondering if it's something related with the script, can you execute it directly?

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mono /path/to/cm.exe sync .......

If it gets to the same scenario get the process id and run:

sudo kill -QUIT PID

and postme the stacks.

derkork · September 24, 2015

The kill call seemed to try to dump a thread dump but nothing of actual use was printed on the console. After the kill call I still had to Ctrl+C the process.

manu · September 24, 2015

Thank you for the info. Yes, the -QUIT doesn't force the real kill (kill -9), only the stacktraces dump.

I'll try to reproduce your behavior, are you running the command from a regular Terminal (v2.3) window? can you tell me your MacOS version?

Can you also try to resolver the multiple head conflict and retry the push? I want to know if it's able to push the new changeset to gitHub even if the process can end by itself.

Thanks.

derkork · September 24, 2015

Yes I am using the regular terminal window (v2.5.3). OSX version is 10.10.5. I resolved the merge conflict and retried the push, but I got this:

~/devel/tools/plasticscm/cm sync databuilder@my-server.de:8087 git https://github.com/derkork/test-data-builder.git

^C

I was unable to find any documentation about how to set up git credentials with plasticscm so I don't know how to resolve this.

manu · September 24, 2015

Thanks, I'll try then with your same OS, mine is older (10.8).

Credential... from the "cm sync" help:

Options:

    url                 Remote repository URL (http(s):// or git:// or a ssh URL).
    --user              User name for the specified URL.
    --pwd               Password for the specified URL.

derkork · September 24, 2015

Nope, still no luck:

~/devel/tools/plasticscm/cm sync databuilder@my-server.de:8087 git https://github.com/derkork/test-data-builder.git --user "myusername" --pwd "mypassword"
Error: The settings you've introduced don't match with the stored ones for branch/repo databuilder. Stored are: https://github.com/derkork/test-data-builder.git

manu · September 24, 2015

It's --user=yourUser --pwd=yourPwd

derkork · September 24, 2015

That worked. However it's still hanging at the end.

On a related note, is there a way to store the credentials in a file so I don't have to add them as command line parameters (which is unsafe as anyone running ps on the machine can see my password then)?

manu · September 24, 2015

Ok, so the gitSync works but the command refuses to dead. I'll test that on a newer mac machine.

No, but once we implement the gitSync support for macplastic the credentials will not be displayed in plain text.

derkork · September 24, 2015

Okay great, at least it's somewhat working, I don't mind pressing Ctrl+c at the end. Thanks for all your help

manu · September 24, 2015

Great!

here to help. I'll review the ctrl+c thing.

manu · October 7, 2015

You can have now the new release with the missing libraries issue fixed! It's the 695.

It also has the "cm" tool available on the PATH

derkork · October 7, 2015

Awesome, thank you very much, I'll check out out right now

manu · October 8, 2015

Great,

if you have any question don't hesitate to contact us.

We'll be adding GUI support for GitSync soon

Iggy · April 7, 2021

Hello, was the GUI support added for GitSync on OSX? If so where can I find it?

Does MacPlastic support git sync?
