No longer visible in status bar

Difficult to pinpoint exactly why, because I updated both Code and Git this morning. I uninstalled/reinstalled the extension with no luck.

• Code version 1.0.0
• Git version 2.8.1.windows.1

Strange.. I'll take a look.

[martellaj]

Please let me know if you figure something out - I freaking love this extension. I already miss it. 😭

[waderyan]

hey thanks @martellaj I'm wanting to spend some solid time in the next week or two and do a new release. I'll keep you posted.

Having the same issue in Windows 8 and git version 2.7.2.windows.1 hope you can solve it, I really like the extension.

@waderyan For what it's worth, it works on OSX El Capitan with VSCode 1.0.0.

@waderyan @stereokai It does not work with vscode 1.0.0 with Yosemite

[martellaj]

@waderyan So I looked into this a bit this afternoon because I so badly want this extension to work again. I'm getting a Error: spawn git ENOENT error from the gitBlameProcess call in gitblame.ts, but haven't figured out why I'm getting that yet.

[martellaj]

So I found out a cause for the spawn git ENOENT error is not having Git in your path. Because this extension worked for me in the past and because I can run Git from the command line, I assumed Git was in my path. However, when I gave in and looked, I found that it wasn't there anymore. So I just added the path to git.exe to my path and restarted my PC and the extension works again!

Can't speak to if this is everyone's issue, but for anyone on Windows, you should look here first.

[waderyan]

Hey good find @martellaj!

[martellaj]

Just for completeness' sake, I checked the status of the extension on my Mac (El Capitan) with VS Code (1.0.0) and the newest version of Git (2.8.1), and it works as expected. You can probably close out this issue!

[ericwooley]

na, don't close the issue, I can't upgrade because of corporate whatever, and I am sure tons of people are in the same boat.

[martellaj]

@ericwooley Well there's no bug, so it wouldn't make sense to keep it open. Closed issues signify a solution to me.

But what can't you upgrade? It's actually not an issue with any version I believe. Just need to make sure Git is still in your path.

[martellaj]

@ericwooley Nevermind, just saw you're on a Mac running Yosemite. You should clone the repo and run it with the debugger attached - it's very easy to set up.

[waderyan]

Just tested this on the latest 1.1 version (publishing now). Should be fixed now with making the text less chars and PR #5

@waderyan Thank you for keeping us updated
