"Error: No .git directory found!" message

[langsmith]

As written in ajoberstar/gradle-git#228 (comment), I'm using the latest stable version but still getting a Error:No .git directory found! message.

Related pr mapbox/mapbox-android-demo#786 that is trying to solve mapbox/mapbox-android-demo#599

You can reproduce by:

1. Downloading the .zip folder while on the ls-setGitDir-repo-download-fix branch. of of the https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-demo
2. Using Android Studio to open the mapbox-android-demo-ls-setGitDir-repo-download-fix 2 folder which is created after opening the .zip folder.

Would love any feedback, thoughts, suggestions, etc. Thank you!

Hi @langsmith. The issue here is that you're trying to open a Git repository in a scenario in which one doesn't exist. When you download the zip from GitHub you only get the current version of the code, but no Git repository.

You'll want your script-git-version.gradle to handle a missing Git repository, similar to how I do in the org.ajoberstar.grgit plugin. Note the try/catch. In your case you'll probably want to default the version to some reasonable value in case of failure.

[langsmith]

Great, thanks very much @ajoberstar . I will look into it.

[ajoberstar]

Closing under the assumption this is resolved. If that's not true and you want to discuss further, please reopen.

[langsmith]

Thanks. I haven't gotten around to fixing my issue(s), but your previous help/comments are more than enough for closing this 🙇 👍 Will re-open if more questions arise
