give better error if git is not installed

Hi,

I am able to connect to my ABAP system through "ABAP remote filesystem" extension and open a class with "ABAP" extension.

But the ABAPlint simply doesn't work for me. While performing any action on the code, I am getting following errors . I have been trying since past 2-3 hours but don't understand how to resolve this. Please help or guide me to the relevant link as I am not able to dig it.

does the abaplint extension work standalone? ie. just with files on a normal filesystem?

plus do you have git installed? try executing git on command line, outside of vscode

Oops! Git was uninstalled sometime back and I forgot about it.

Installed git again and it's working fine now. Thanks for the help Lars!

On an unrelated note, is there a setting to turn of the 'linter' part from abaplint and still make use of the features mentioned by you in the blog : https://blogs.sap.com/2020/09/28/standalone-editing-of-abap-in-vscode/

abaplint can be configured via the abaplint.json file, I'm just not sure if it/how works with the remote file filesystem extension

Hi Lars,

It would have git cloned the 'deps' to some location. But I am not able to find the abaplint.json as it created to lint for Remote File System's Objects. I searched through the whole vscode and its settings.

Is there a way to create a custom abaplint.json file somewhere so it doesn't fetch it from internet?

if abaplint doesnt find a abaplint.json file it uses defaults

I'm not sure if it/how works with the remote file filesystem extension

No problem. Thank you for all the help!

oh, and also see https://github.com/abaplint/vscode-abaplint/issues/69 and https://github.com/abaplint/vscode-abaplint/issues/54

Thank you very much, now it looks good. git was missing on my system. Sorry.
