Cannot clone repo on Windows #19
Comments
I too am running into this issue. Is anyone still working on this project? I noticed in the RosettaCode-pm project that provides services for this there was an update 10 months ago for 2023 but it looks like nothing in this repo has been updated in years and years. |
https://github.com/acmeism/RosettaCodeData/commits/main/ The repo has been updated many times in the last year. I recently got a Windows machine. I can look into this sometime soon. |
Hi Ingy, (@ingydotnet), This evening I retried the "git clone" command as noted above:
The same error occurred, as in the previous attempt:
It is quite possible that there are many more "invalid path" errors due to the "colon" character in the pathname. So, it may take some work to resolve this issue. Thanks for saying that you will take some time to look into this issue. Kind Regards, |
https://gist.github.com/ingydotnet/b4a1d20dc95490fa1d3c2a59b6758565 417 bad paths. Should be pretty easy to not use Can try to address manually.
Only 3 dirs... OK I ran
possibly cleaner way but this is just a test. No more paths with I pushed to branch https://github.com/acmeism/RosettaCodeData/tree/remove-colons @celtic-coder can you If so I'll fix up the build tool properly. Thanks for your patience :) |
Hi Ingy, (@ingydotnet), Thanks for making these changes! It will be a few days before I can get around to testing this. When I have the opportunity, I will get back to you on this. Kind regards, |
Hi Ingy, (@ingydotnet), I ran the following command:
We now have a further example of an "invalid path" error:
The two culprits with "multiple dots" in the filename appear to be:
These appear in both the "Lang" and "Task" sections. Kind Regards, |
Hi Acmeism (@acmeism) / Ingy (@ingydotnet),
This in an excellent project! I am sure that many developers will find it useful. However, there appears to be a problem cloning the repo on Windows.
As per the "Getting the Data" section in the ReadMe, I tried the following command:
git clone https://github.com/acmeism/RosettaCodeData --single-branch --depth=1
The initial portion of the clone command worked, but it then failed with an invalid path error:
My guess for the failure is that the ":" is an invalid character in the Windows filesystem. Might it be possible to change a colon character in a filename to the valid "-" character instead?
Kind Regards,
Liam
