Switching between local GIT branches causes GIT connector to no longer be able to read a commit?

[mashama]

I have discovered a scenario where after switching between local branches the GIT connector can no longer access the same path within a federated GIT repository. 

17:35:14,931 WARN  [org.modeshape.connector.git.GitConnector] (default task-22) Cannot read commit "src/lib/jquery.min.js"

17:35:14,932 ERROR [stderr] (default task-22) javax.jcr.PathNotFoundException: The child "jcr:content" could not be found under "/nogece/tree/master/src/lib/jquery.min.js" in workspace "default"

When I switch back the "jcr:content" under "/nogece/tree/master/src/lib/jquery.min.js" becomes accessible again.  Switching back and forth between these two branches produces the same results...

ModeShape 4.2

Wildfly 8.1

What do you mean by "switching branches" ? Also, what does your connector configuration look like ?

[mashama]

By "switches branches" I mean using "git checkout [branch]" to switch between local branches.  Here is my Wildfly standalone.xml configuration file as it pertains to the ModeShape GIT connector tidbits:

    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:modeshape:2.0">
            <repository name="carroll">
                <external-sources>
                    <source name="git" classname="org.modeshape.connector.git.GitConnector" cacheTtlSeconds="5" directoryPath="C:\\CHP\\git\\carroll">
                        <projection>
                            default:/carroll =&gt; /
                        </projection>
                    </source>
                </external-sources>
            </repository>
            <repository name="nogece">

Are you accessing the commit using /tree/<path> (Git connector - ModeShape 4 - Project Documentation Editor) ? Does the same problem show up if you try using the ID of the commit via /commit/ID ? If you're using the ID of the commit, do both branches have a commit with this ID ?

[mashama]

I am accessing the commit using /tree/<path>.  The same problem exists when accessing the commit via /commit/<ID>.  Only one of the branches has the commit ID.

[hchiorean]

Using /commit/ID will/should only work if a commit with ID is present in the current branch (as pointed to by HEAD). So in that case the behavior is to be expected if one of your branches does not contain the commit.

On the other hand, if using a /tree/<branch>/<path-to-commit> style path, then <branch> should be used and not HEAD. As long as <path-to-commit> exists in <branch> it should be returned. So if that is your case, feel free to log a JIRA.
