I am trying to use LibGit2Sharp in Unity 2018.2 beta, because previous versions of Unity doesn't support .NET Framework 4.7.1, which will be needed for LibGit2Sharp.
I wanted to try a few things first and came across the following problems:
if I try to clone a repository (I have used the example on GitHub first: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/wiki/git-clone), I get an "LibGit2SharpException: failed to send request" error in Unity.
I have also tried to get information from a working copy. I create a
Repositorywithnew Repository(string path), get theRepositoryStatusfrom it withrep.RetrieveStatus(new StatusOptions()). Now, if I try to access the state of files, it causes a crash in Unity. No matter if I iterate through all files and want to printfile.State, or want to get a specificFileStatuslist from the whole status (example:status.Added). However, printing the filepaths works.Fetching does not works either for me, it throws the same exception as the clone command.
I think the second one is maybe just an issue, but clone and fetch should work.
Update: sadly, I keep facing problems in my project with libgit2sharp in Unity. I want to make a commit, now if i try to iterate through the StatusEntries to stage the files, Unity just crashes, but sometimes it works. It is really hard to reproduce the bug, and often I get different crashlog-entries for the same process. The last time I have tried today the error was:
0x00007FFB417386CE (git2-6311e88) [c:\projects\libgit2sharp-nativebinaries\libgit2\src\diff_generate.c:1352] git_diff_tree_to_index
I have created a test-repository in my program using the Github API and cloned this to my pc, this works fine so far. And then if I create some files in the folder and want to make a commit, I run into the error above. Sadly this is one of several other issues and I can't really make progress with my project.
I have installed libgit2sharp and binaries with the Nuget Package Manager of Visual Studio.
Does anyone have experience with LibGit2Sharp and maybe some ideas of what I could be doing wrong, or why these things don't work for me?
Update 2: I'm still trying to solve the problem. I have now tested multiple times the different ways to get informations about the file-status of a repository. The best way to do it in my project would be with Repository.RetrieveStatus(filePath), now if I try this, it throws an AmbiguousSpecificationException. Can somebody explain, what does this exactly mean and how can I avoid it? I have also tried to force a literal path evaluation with Repository.RetrieveStatus(new StatusOptions() { DisablePathSpecMatch = true }); as recommended in the message of the AmbiguousSpecificationException, but then Unity crashes with the error-log in the first Update of this Post.
