Conscript incorrectly reports "Repository not found on github" when it can't find a branch

Open michael-brennan opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

When conscript fails to find the default "master" branch -- or the specified branch if one is specified -- then it incorrectly reports "Repository not found on github" rather than reporting that it cannot find the branch.

Example: Type: cs sbt/sbt Result: "Repository not found on github" because there is no "master" branch

Type: cs sbt/sbt --branch 0.13.12 # from http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Scripts.html Result: Result: "Repository not found on github" because there is no 0.13.12 branch

Type: cs sbt/sbt --branch 0.13 Result: works (at the time of this writing)

This was very confusing as a complete newbie trying to figure out what was going wrong until I realized it simply wasn't findng the branch.
