Hi

Followed the installation instructions provided by the V3 wiki. Drag and dropped the extracted folder into my new project and...

I have just started trying out Godot, but have used git and have a Github account I use for my OpenSCAD projects, which I edit using VS Codium on Fedora Linux 38 (Workstation Edition) on my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 without issues.

Do I have to wait for a new release, as my casual scanning of the release docs leads me to believe that changes have been made to the GDExtension code?

Thanks
Dorian

I hope it's okay for me to add a bit of info into your issue.

I just updated to Godot 4.1, and I ran into the same issue. The output pane also printed the following error messages:

Cool, thanks. Did not think to include the console output. I had to hunt around a bit for a download for the previous version of Godot (4.0.3) and it seems to be working in that version. As said, just started like as in today. Maybe a bit back to front, but my OCD wants my backups in place before I start any new project. I will reign it in a bit (the OCD) and get to grips with the engine first and the worry about version control later.

i am facing the same issue too

Same issue on Linux. Added the "compatiblity_minimum" line in the git_plugin.gdextension file:

The error message slightly changes, still does not work:

I also get this error. Same output as @Dorro101
Get tried to convert over to 4.1 and it wouldn't load.

I can still use GIT via command line...

Guess its because of this....

So, the current git plugin is only 4.0 compatible and will need an update to recompile for 4.1? If i understood the last post correctly. Maybe? My project is stalled atm because we need 4.1 and git at same time. ;)

Note, you can still use Git without a plugin in the meantime, it might just be less convenient tho.
(There are also other GUIs, on Windows I used the one that comes with the Git installer)

I do use it on CLI to push/pull from github but the realtime updates when you accodentally modify a file dont show up and when making a lot of changes its better in the UI to spot those as soon as they happen. I have made a few good catches that i would have missed easily if only committing via cli.

As it stands i had to revert to godot 4.0 to continue my project. Any plan rebuild against 4.1 which is what appears to be required to fix the issue at a minimum...

Can confirm, same issues on Windows 10 and Mac. Hope this can be resolved soon!
