Repository navigation
require('path').Repo.open(...) returns {} #241
Description
Here is sample code of what I'm doing:
var path = require('path');
var GitService = function () {
this.open = require("nodegit").Repo.open;
};
GitService.prototype = {
log: function (repo, count, callback) {
this.open('/home/joshua/skyduel/.git', function(error, repo) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log('repo opened', repo);
});
}
};
module.exports = GitService;
Console output when I run my wrapper application:
repo opened {}
Any ideas? I know for sure that the repo being requested exists, is freshly populated, and I can do git status on it and receive proper information.
Here is console output showing the git repo is properly initialized:
joshua@joshua-VirtualBox:~/skyduel$ pwd
/home/joshua/skyduel
joshua@joshua-VirtualBox:~/skyduel$ git status
On branch master

This isn't an error, it's returning you a repo Object. You would log
repo.__proto__to see its available methods.joshjung commentedon Oct 14, 2014
Thanks for responding so quickly! I'm rather confused then. There is no 'Repository' object or even a 'Repo.open' method but the Readme.md for the nodegit project states there should be? Am I viewing an old Readme?
Also, did the promise library get removed? I'm trying to follow examples with '.then()' but they are causing issues.saying I need to provide a callback function instead.

My guess is that NodeGit isn't installed correctly. Are you running master, the docs are for the current master branch.
