SillyDudePage.xaml - many errors xmlns:tabs="http://sharpnado.com" ... seems to be the root cause

[roubachof]

This is the code from the Silly! app (the sample app) not the Sharpnado.Presentation.Forms.

[roubachof]

So now that we are in the good repo :) First XF version in the project is 4.7: https://github.com/roubachof/Xamarin-Forms-Practices/blob/cb079cb22bf579310a412d6f29032c69dc5595d6/SillyCompany.Mobile.Practices/SillyCompany.Mobile.Practices.csproj#L38 Then I cannot replicate your issues, everything builds fine on my end... Some of my users met also this issue, but it's a VS issue and even if it shows error it seems to compile and run fine.

[TrueGeek]

I'm having the same problem. When the project first loads Visual Studio complains that it cannot find many files:

/Sharpnado.Tabs/Tabs/Tabs/Tabs.csproj
/Sharpnado.Tabs/Tabs/Tabs.Droid/Tabs.Droid.csproj

and others

If you look at the Git repo for the sample you see that the files it complains about are in linked repos. When you download the sample from GitHub it doesn't download these linked repos. You must manually download each one and then place the files in the empty folders that were created. Luckily there are only 3.

[roubachof]

Guys could you please please read the readme file:

https://github.com/roubachof/Xamarin-Forms-Practices#installation

[TrueGeek]

@roubachof I totally missed that due to not reading the documentation at all. 😀 Sorry about that.

[jbachelor]

First, thank you SO much for the awesome libraries and this sample code you've created, @roubachof! I love it! I wanted to get up to speed on some of the work you've done since I originally implemented Sharpnado tabs, but ran into trouble when trying to get the submodules.

It seems like the issue I'm running into may be slightly different, so please let me know if it would be better to open a new issue for this (or if this is simply a PEBKAC error).

I followed the instructions to clone the repo and then run git submodule update --init. The clone went just fine, but when I try to run the second command I get a series of errors (see below). Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong, or if this is a genuine issue?

mmmh, it's weird looks like an ssh issue: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/error-permission-denied-publickey

Did you clone the Xamarin-Forms-Practices repo with ssh? If yes maybe clone it with classic https url.

[jbachelor]

Thanks so much for your reply, @roubachof!

I'm afraid I did indeed use https for cloning. I'm on a Mac, and just booted up my Windows VM and got the same results as on the Mac side. I'll try to get my hands on a completely separate computer to try it on a wholly untarnished system.

[DrMozze]

Hello, I encountered the same issue as jbachelor, did you find a solution since last month ?

Thank you ! :)

[jbachelor]

@DrMozze - I'm ashamed to say I never did figure it out. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

[sattasundar]

Even I am also facing same issue ;

git submodule update --init
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

[kolex]

Hi,

I managed to clone the 3 submodules via HTTPS by

1. Modifying the (hidden) .gitmodules file (replace the 3 urls with the HTTPS urls from the repos, e.g. https://github.com/roubachof/Sharpnado.Tabs.git)
2. git submodule sync
3. git submodule update --init

@roubachof Unfortunately, I get some errors in the IDE during package restore (followed, of course, by build errors).

@sattasundar I guess your working directory is not the previously cloned repo.

Thanks

[roubachof]

@DrMozze @jbachelor @sattasundar I just fixed the .gitmodules file. Should be fine by now

[crashnnburn]

I'm still getting this error when using 'git submodule update --init' :

fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref f5869a681ded2b180f45d192e4665322e609c552
Fetched in submodule path 'Sharpnado.HorizontalListView', but it did not contain f5869a681ded2b180f45d192e4665322e609c552. Direct fetching of that commit failed.

[roubachof]

@crashnnburn for some reason the .gitmodules was not updated, should be fine now.

[crashnnburn]

Strange, now I'm getting:

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'Sharpnado.HorizontalListView' in .gitmodules

After checking your gitmodules file, it's not included. I tried adding it manually but after checking, it seems that repository is obsolete and was replaced by CollectionView. So I'm not sure where it's still being called from, since the gitmodules config doesn't list the module.

[danieldefreitasleite]

Same here...

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'Sharpnado.HorizontalListView' in .gitmodules

[twofingerrightclick]

as @crashnnburn points out - how does it gets pulled in if not in the .gitmodules? But moreover why does git and the cs projects want it? as HorizontalListView is now CollectionsView so I think is a misleading error from VS:

Here is how I got it working:

I was getting errors about MaterialFrame.dll -> So I built that project first:

I also built all the parent projects (not .ios or.droid) of CollectionView, Configuration, and Tabs In the Sharpnado Folder, then had to fix some using statements (not sure if neccesary, just VS probably complaining) and reload the solution (restart visual studio for me), and then all errors were resolved and the Mobile.Practices project built and I ran on my Android.

[roubachof]

could you try again? I tried to fix the submodule file
