#2972 closed defect (fixed)

ensure_dependencies.py doesn't add Git ignore paths relative to the project root

Description (last modified by kzar)

How to reproduce

git clone git@github.com:adblockplus/libadblockplus.git
cd libadblockplus
./ensure_dependencies.py
mkdir -p issue2972/adblockplus
touch issue2972/adblockplus/newfile
git status
git add issue2972/adblockplus/newfile

Observed behaviour

git status doesn't list the unstaged file issue2972/adblockplus/newfile and trying to git add it results in this warning:

The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
issue2972/adblockplus/newfile
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added

(The problem is not present when using Mercurial instead of Git.)

Expected behaviour

The new file should be in the "Untracked files" section and adding it should work.

What is wrong

In .git/info/exclude there should be paths relative to the repository root, e.g /adblockplus instead of adblockplus

Your reproduction steps do not include any use of the ensure_dependencies.py script, please could you add any missing steps so I can attempt to reproduce this?

Thanks, Dave

I'm guessing you mean something like this:

git clone git@github.com:adblockplus/libadblockplus.git
cd libadblockplus/
./ensure_dependencies.py
touch include/AdblockPlus/newfile
git add include/AdblockPlus/newfile
git commit -m 'test'

But when I do that I can't reproduce the problem you're having. Could you clarify?

I've tested it on case sensitive (I guess, your case) and case insensitive file systems and updated the issue description.

Thanks.

Replying to kzar:

Could you please also ensure/confirm that it properly works with Mercurial?

Yep, already did. (Sorry I meant to include that in the description already but I forgot!)
