Entering git repo throws "Cannot find gitstatus.sh"

[serpro69]

Not sure what this is. Had this error once before, couldn't find the culprit and had to do clean install. Now after a few days of using the dotfiles again seeing this error.

Re-running bootstrap.sh did not help. The file is clearly present in the /bin folder, however still getting this error.

Oh, and thanks for these awesome dotfiles!

Upd: I've noticed my shell got switched back to bash instead of zsh. Switching to zsh made the issue disappear. But should this work under bash shell as well?

can you please run echo $PATH in the bash and post the result here, thanks. The file should be in the ~/bin/ directory not in /bin/.

Here's the difference between path variables in zsh and bash:

✓ ~→ bash                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
✓ ~→ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/sergio/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/sergio/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/sergio/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/sergio/bin:/home/sergio/.local/bin:/home/sergio/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/sergio/.local/bin:/home/sergio/.local/bin:/home/sergio/.local/bin:/home/sergio/.local/bin

✓ ~→ echo $PATH

The file was present in the ~/bin directory, I checked that. Also it was on the path because I could just call $ gitstatus.sh from anywhere.

Hey, I found the same issue running that on WSL

here is my $PATH after running bootstrap.sh

I personally didn't look into it yet, though I have a feeling that it has to do with .redpill files, specifically the bash setup. But I don't have much time ATM to debug this, and I also use zsh, so I don't encounter this issue unless I explicitly switch back to bash shell.

I have the same issue on WSL. Have you found any solutions @GersonDias ?

[roaldjap]

On wsl, I managed to prevent throwing "Cannot find gitstatus.sh" by executing zsh on your bash shell. by default, wsl runs bash shell. try also running chsh -s $(which zsh) to change your shell default.

I fixed this issue by copying bin/gitstatush.sh into .redpill/bash_prompt/. The problem is fairly obvious when you look at the code starting at line 9 in gitprompt.sh:

function git_prompt_dir() {                                                      
  # assume the gitstatus.sh is in the same directory as this script                                 
  # code thanks to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/59895                      
  if [ -z "$__GIT_PROMPT_DIR_BASH" ]; then                                       
    local SOURCE="${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"                                             
    while [ -h "$SOURCE" ]; do                                                   
      local DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" && pwd )"                     
      SOURCE="$(readlink "$SOURCE")"                                             
      [[ $SOURCE != /* ]] && SOURCE="$DIR/$SOURCE"                               
    done                                                                         
    __GIT_PROMPT_DIR_BASH="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" && pwd )"           
  fi                                                                             
} 

The comment says it all. The code assumes that gitstatus.sh is in the same directory with gitprompt.sh
