[rokoroku]

• GitLens Version: 8.5.5
• VSCode Version: 1.26.0
• OS Version: Windows 10.0.17134 build 17134

Steps to Reproduce:

I cannot use GitLens, both Windows git and WSL git
FYI, my git repository is initialized from WSL (Windows Subsystem Linux, ubuntu 18).

Logs:

@rokoroku Do you have the same issue with GitLens 8.5.6?

[rokoroku]

Sure, same log in 8.5.6 below:

@rokoroku Can you try setting the GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM to 1 and see if it helps this issue?

[asvetliakov]

Same here. Using wslgit and repo was initialized in WSL. GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM didn't help

[eamodio]

I don't currently have a WSL environment setup, so if anyone out there could help out to figure out what is wrong I would be very appreciative 😄

[asvetliakov]

Investigated, there are 2 problems:
1) WSLGit doesn't translate unix repository path to win path for rev-parse command (due to -c args) and GitLens is trying to cwd unix path. Filed https://github.com/andy-5/wslgit/pull/48 to fix it

2) WSLGit doesn't properly escape --format arg in log and stash commands due to spaces in the argument. This is not GitLens problem, but i filed #517 to help with it

After merging these 2 PRs, GitLens must work with wslgit normally.

Got same error message with Cygwin git.
Strange, extension works on a different machine with much the same setup.
Trying to run commands in the integrated terminal produce expected output.

[xCykrix]

I have this issue with Cygwin as well, I am unsure of the exact cause of it is the issue.

+1 for Cygwin integration. Default git integration tab in vscode works fine.
I've setup cygwin git.exe proxy (via compiled cyg-git) that forwards calls under cygwin git and getting error: spawn C:\tools\cyg-git\git.exe ENOENT
