Use of uninitialized value $cmd[0] in Open3

[walter ferreira]

Hi,
Codestriker was just installed and our git repository set on the config file. Unfortunatelly, when we try to create a new topic by providing the start_tag and eng_tag, an error is being displayed.

Could you please help me solving this issue?

**Problem generating topic text:

thanks in advance!!

It's missing in the official install, but you need to define a $git variable in the codestriker.conf file, which contains the path to the git executable.  See the $cvs variable as an example for what this looks like.

Thanks, the previous error is gone after I've set $git = '/usr/bin/git';   , but now I'm left with the following error:

Problem generating topic text:
usage: git diff 

I did use the following parameters:
Topic title: TEST
Topic description: TEST
start tag: 872db3a94a39b59c6227
end tag: 429e2c0c0a9e9307dde4
module: .

do you have any suggestions?

thanks and regards

I didn't write the module so I don't know sorry.  I assume you can create topics manually by creating the text up-front that way?

Perhaps inside of ".", provide a directory name to see if it makes any difference.  According to the manual, this is the command which is run:

git diff -U6 -full-index -src-prefix=start_tag/ -dst-prefix=end_tag/ start_tag end_tag - module
