Can't clone and build Xamarin-Forms-Practices

[MathieuJack]

I would like to run your Sharpnado sample app.

I execute this, as explained in this page : https://github.com/roubachof/Xamarin-Forms-Practices

1. git clone https://github.com/roubachof/Xamarin-Forms-Practices.git
2. git submodule update --init

line 1 downloads successfully Xamarin-Forms-Practices in my local folder

but line 2 leads to this error: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I tried to move to child directory (cd Xamarin-Forms-Practices) then run again line 2. And now error is: fatal: No url found for submodule path 'Sharpnado.HorizontalListView' in .gitmodules

Is there something wrong? thank you!

[roubachof]

there was an error in the git submodule file :)

[MathieuJack]

Works way better but still CollectionView folders/projects are not cloned, so solution cannot build.

Here is console log : c:\KODE\sharpnado\Xamarin-Forms-Practices>git submodule update --init Submodule 'Sharpnado.CollectionView' (https://github.com/roubachof/Sharpnado.CollectionView.git) registered for path 'Sharpnado.HorizontalListView' Submodule 'Sharpnado.MaterialFrame' (https://github.com/roubachof/Sharpnado.MaterialFrame.git) registered for path 'Sharpnado.MaterialFrame' Submodule 'Sharpnado.Tabs' (https://github.com/roubachof/Sharpnado.Tabs.git) registered for path 'Sharpnado.Tabs' Cloning into 'C:/KODE/sharpnado/Xamarin-Forms-Practices/Sharpnado.HorizontalListView'...

CollectionView is in fact in HorizontalListView folder

[MathieuJack]

OK, that's true. But in the solution file, CollectionView is expected to be in its own folder. Here is an extract of .sln:

Project("{9A19103F-16F7-4668-BE54-9A1E7A4F7556}") = "Sharpnado.CollectionView", "Sharpnado.CollectionView\Sharpnado.CollectionView\Sharpnado.CollectionView.csproj", "{72EEC247-1B47-42BD-A7C3-803C03A94A9A}" EndProject Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "Sharpnado.CollectionView.Droid", "Sharpnado.CollectionView\Sharpnado.CollectionView.Droid\Sharpnado.CollectionView.Droid.csproj", "{F2D4F3E6-CB34-4D17-92CA-0A9BFDE9C811}" EndProject Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "Sharpnado.CollectionView.iOS", "Sharpnado.CollectionView\Sharpnado.CollectionView.iOS\Sharpnado.CollectionView.iOS.csproj", "{613205D7-8798-4BBC-BE46-8B024F4592E6}" EndProject

sln cannot compile; when opened in VS2022, CollcetionView projects cannot be loaded. Everything else looks good I think

[roubachof]

godammit :) can you try once again now ?

[MathieuJack]

I still have a compilation issue. It's looking for a C:\KODE\sharpnado\Xamarin-Forms-Practices\Sharpnado.HorizontalListView folder but it does not exist.
