Gerrit,

It looks like –no-pager is not a git option for the version I’m using under macOS but I would expect it to know it’s not in a terminal and therefore not do any paging or coloring, which appears to be the case.

I do have it working now, so I can keep my database in sync with a git repo fairly efficiently.

Cheers,

E.

Hi Eliot,

Maybe the pager is getting in your way? Try the global git option --no-pager.

[BaseX 9.6.4 on Mac through BaseX GUI]

I’m trying to automate syncing a database with content from a git repo that is locally cloned.

My approach is to use proc:exec() to pull the repo and then use git diff-tree to see what files changed:

let $pullResult := proc:execute($gitCmd,('pull', '-v'), map{'dir' : $repoPath})

let $changeList := proc:execute($gitCmd, ('diff-tree', '--no-commit-id', '--name-status', 'HEAD'), map{'dir' : $repoPath})

However, the result returned for “diff-tree” appears to get truncated.

Here’s a typical result, where I’m echoing out the $pullResult and $changeList values created above:

Pull result:

<result>

<output>Already up to date.

</output>

<error>From code.devsnc.com:doc/dita-now

= [up to date] master -&gt; origin/master

= [up to date] dita-now -&gt; origin/dita-now

= [up to date] rtprn -&gt; origin/rtprn

= [up to date] sanfransokyo -&gt; origin/sanfransokyo

= [up to date] scodefreeze -&gt; origin/scodefreeze

= [up to date] scratc/table_issues_fix -&gt; origin/scratc/table_issues_fix

= [up to date] scratch/fix_canvas_issue -&gt; origin/scratch/fix_canvas_issue

= [up to date] scratch/newDitavals2022 -&gt; origin/scratch/newDitavals2022

= [up to date] scratch/simplifyDitavals -&gt; origin/scratch/simplifyDitavals

= [up to date] scratch/table_name_issue -&gt; origin/scratch/table_name_issue

</error>

<code>0</code>

</result>

Change list:

<result>

<output>M doc

</output>

<code>0</code>

</result>

Note that the pull response looks as expected but the change list response is just “M\tdoc” where “doc” is the first directory in what should be a path to a file.

Here’s the same result from the command line:

dita-now % git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-status -r HEAD

Mdoc/source/product/rpa-studio/task/use-datareader-queryexcel.dita

Mdoc/source/product/rpa-studio/task/use-datetime-add.dita

Mdoc/source/product/rpa-studio/task/use-datetime-compare.dita

…

I can’t see anything I’m doing wrong or options to the execute() or system() functions that would affect the result.

Any idea what might be causing this or how I could work around it?

Thanks,

Eliot
