NoClassDefFoundError while Migrating existing repository data to LFS [Using git-lfs-migrate]

[samsonpaul87]

Hi, I have completed following steps (https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/Tutorial#migrating-existing-repository-data-to-lfs) to migrate existing repository data to LFS, mentioned here.

• Install Java 1.8 or later
• Download the latest binaries from here
• Do a mirror clone of the repository to rewrite: git clone --mirror [email protected]:bozaro/git-lfs-migrate.git

I ended up with NoClassDefFoundError while trying to run the following step

• Rewrite e.g. all *.mp4 video files in the repository:

Following is my full stack. Please note that, I have changed the .git file name and project name, due to security issues.

Looks like you lost vendors directory from git-lfs-migrate.zip archive...

[samsonpaul87]

@bozaro . Looks like vendors directory is inside git-lfs-migrate.zip file. I am not at all referring the zip file archive in the command. What should be the command to execute? Currently, I am executing the following command. Please go through it and let me know, the proper command to get it work. java -jar git-lfs-migrate.jar -s miproject_android_studio.git -d miproject_android_studio_lfs-migrate-converted.git -g https://[email protected]/miproject/miproject_android_studio_lfs-migrate-converted.git "*.sqlite" "*.sqlite.zip"

Command is correct, but vendors directory should presend near git-lfs-migrate.jar. So, you simply need unpack whole .zip-archive and run command without moving/deleting files.
