Doesn't seem to work on Mac OSX

[jeffwright13]

I was able to build from source (using make and cmake installed with brew), but invoking the commands git-tui log and git-tui diff does nothing. The commands were issued within an active repo and the plain git commands git log and git diff do show correct output.

Any ideas? It would be cool to use the diff feature instead of built-in git diff.

[ArthurSonzogni]

Thanks for reporting this. I can't really test on Mac OSX. What do you mean by "does nothing". Do you have something printed to in your terminal. Do you see an interface displayed?

[jeffwright13]

Here is an example session when run inside an active git repo. You can see that the command is recognized by the OS and executes, but does nothing when I try to diff a file or show the git log.

/usr/local/bin/git-tui

 - git tui diff [args]*
 - git tui log [args]*

Thanks!

I don't see any reason why this exit immediately. Since you managed to compile it. Could you try adding some print statement inside the main function? https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/git-tui/blob/125d11d720debaca430322259d2f3756be521594/src/log.cpp#L104

[jeffwright13]

Hello,

I did as you asked, and added a print right inside the main function of log.cpp. Still, nothing prints to console when git-tui diff is executed.

Here is the modified code.

int main(int argc, const char** argv) {
  printf("ALL YOUR MAIN BELONG TO US.\n");

  auto screen = ScreenInteractive::Fullscreen();

  (void)argc;
  (void)argv;
  std::vector<Commit*> commits;
...

Very weird.

Could you try the examples from the FTXUI library? You should roughtly get the same output as what you get on the same examples compiled for WebAssembly: https://arthursonzogni.com/FTXUI/examples/

[jeffwright13]

A little lost here (more of a Python guy than cpp). I was able to check out the FTXUI repo and successfully build it according to https://arthursonzogni.com/FTXUI/doc/#build-using-cmake. But when I issue the "./main" command I get:

$ ./main zsh: no such file or directory: ./main

After building, you should normally get many executable. For instance: <build_dir>/examples/components/gallery

Yes, I can confirm that the examples seem to be working. I checked out toggle, homepage and menu2.

Very weird. I don't have any idea why the output on mac os X doesn't appear.

[afeinman-snap]

I'm seeing exactly this on two different Linux boxes. Both git tui log and git tui diff produce UI but no records are shown - the lists are empty Git version is 2.35.3

[afeinman-snap]

Update. Rebuilding from git HEAD seems to fix this for me

[ArthurSonzogni]

Thanks @afeinman-snap !

If someone is able to reproduce any similar problem on Mac after the current HEAD, please let me know and I will try to find a Mac to try myself. Otherwise, I will consider the problem to be magically fixed.

[balint-bg]

On ubuntu 22.04, git version 2.34.1, and same behavior. snap installing the tool results in empty interfaces (empty log and diff even though git log and git diff both show content). Checking out latest master (master 2809b5c [origin/master] v1.2.0) and building from source fixes this and from the same directory the TUI does show the expected diffs and logs.

[ArthurSonzogni]

I tried the snap version. I saw no issues. I updated the snap "stable" version to the latest build. Does it fix your issue?
