Unexpected output from git describe

Unable to Create a Virtual Feed

I made again a complete clean install on a spare Pi

Unable to Create a Virtual Feed

Describe: v9.5.1-1775-gd0db7a57

You need to run the update as that is way behind the latest version V9.9.8

That may solve the problem.

Brian,

FYI: My version is 9.9.8 and Describe: 9.9.4-247-gd0db7a57.

Hi @Neil, Have you done an update recently? The git descibe suggests that the update has not worked for some reason.

Unable to Create a Virtual Feed

Hi @Neil, Have you done an update recently? The git descibe suggests that the update has not worked for some reason.

From Setup/Administration I performed both emonPi Update and emonBase Update. The git describe still reads: Describe: 9.9.4-247-gd0db7a57

Please don’t spend too much time for me, I just wanted you to see what I was seeing. I can wait for you experts to resolve the issue.

Have a great day.

borpin · 2019-04-07T12:06:53.011Z

Odd.

Could you tell me what your setup is please (EmonPi/EmonBase/EmonSD). Are you comfortable with SSH & git?

If so, please SSH into the system and run

sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms status
sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe

and copy and paste the output here please.

If so, please SSH into the system and run
sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms status
sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe

Here you go…

    pi@emonpi:~ $ sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms status
    On branch stable
    Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/stable'.
    Untracked files:
    (use "git add &lt;file&gt;..." to include in what will be committed)

    scripts/logger/logrotate.old
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

and…

    pi@emonpi: ~ $ sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe

    pi@emonpi: ~ $

borpin · 2019-04-07T12:32:17.671Z

Most odd.

could you try

 sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe --tags --debug

please?

Try this just to clean up the repository, then the --tags --debug command again

sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms  fetch --all --prune -v

What the output should be is

I ran sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms fetch --all --prune -v
Then sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe --tags --debug

Looks good now:

Ah better.

@TrystanLea may be worth adding a git fetch --all --prune to the update script for all repositories just to keep them clean.

No it won’t have. I have suggested a change and that will have to be accepted. Even then it will not be fixed until a new release, unless you change branch with git.

netrider · 2019-04-07T18:52:51.812Z

I say your resquest in git.
Regards

djh · 2019-04-07T19:06:45.427Z

It’s a clear regression - I was able to create virtual feeds prior to my latest update and now I can’t - so hopefully it will be fixed soon.
