tig split view problem in 2.1.1

[tankywoo]

In version 2.1.1
when I open main view and vertical split diff view, the view is like below, the right diff view only show a small section.

then I switch to previous version, such as 2.0.2:

My environment:

• MacOS 10.9.5
• Terminal: iterm2
• LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

In 2.1.1, could you provide the settings by starting tig and entering this
prompt command?

:save-options /tmp/opts.tigrc

I only need to see the first part named 'Settings'.

@jonas Hi, this is the Settings section:

https://gist.github.com/tankywoo/7ac3e711925dd4e2f88d

[jonas]

The guilty line is this:

set split-view-width = 0%

Did you install the tigrc file for version 2.1.1?

Else if you put the following in your ~/.tigrc it should work:

set split-view-width = 50%

[tankywoo]

@jonas thanks, I put set split-view-width = 50% in .tigrc and it's ok.

Did you install the tigrc file for version 2.1.1?

How to install tigrc file?

[jonas]

It is installed automatically when you install tig from sources and run
make install, so the question is how did you install version 2.1.1? From
git? From a tarball?

[tankywoo]

@jonas I installed tig from brew(not head version), which seems from a tarball

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/tig.rb

[jonas]

Strange, I just upgraded the Tig version from brew locally and /usr/local/etc/tigrc seems fine and it looks like it knows about that file:

$ strings /usr/local/bin/tig | grep /tigrc
/usr/local/etc/tigrc

And it works fine when I run:

TIGRC_USER= /usr/local/bin/tig

Not sure what else to try.

Same issue on v2.1.1 installed from Homebrew.

In /usr/local/etc/tigrc I don't have that property (split-view-width), so I've created ~/.tigrc and with set split-view-width = 50% view split is fine now.

Thanks.

@benek Could you try to reinstall with brew uninstall tig, and then rm /usr/local/etc/tigrc and brew install tig?

[jonas]

@tankywoo The issue seems to be with how homebrew maintains its /etc files. You had version 2.0.2 installed which didn't have the option and it looks like /usr/local/etc/tigrc didn't get updated when you upgrade the tig package to version 2.1.1. Removing the package and /usr/local/etc/tigrc and reinstalling the package should fix it.

[tankywoo]

@jonas yes :+1: the default file /usr/local/etc/tigrc is not udpated with version 2.1.2

I had the same problem and now I am using horizontal split.
You can do it by changing property in usr/local/etc/tigrc
set vertical-split = horizontal

[jonas]

The fix to Homebrew has been merged. To make it take effect you need to

rm -f /usr/local/etc/tigrc
