QProcess - Git

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use QProcess with Git, I want to clone my repository to create a local copy on my computer using git clone

Typing this line in Terminal

Code:

---

git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git

---

works well

But in Qt, I still have a problem

Code:

---

QProcess process;
    process.start("git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git", QStringList());
 
    if (!process.waitForStarted()) {
        qDebug() << "Error : " << process.errorString();
        return 1;
    }
//process.waitForFinished(-1); // will wait forever until finished

---

Error console : Error : "No such file or directory"

Any help is very appreciated

Hmmm, how many times has this QProcess question been asked and answered on this forum? From the QProcess::start() docs:

Quote:

---

void QProcess::start(const QString & program, const QStringList & arguments, OpenMode mode = ReadWrite)

Starts the given program in a new process, passing the command line arguments in arguments.

---

In your case this means:

Code:

---

QProcess process;
QStringList arguments;
arguments << "clone" << "ssh://user@host:port/Template.git";
process.start( "git", arguments );

---

Assuming of course that the git program is on your system's executable search path and that you have permission to execute it.

You are using this version of method QProcess:start : void QProcess::start(const QString & program, const QStringList & arguments, OpenMode mode = ReadWrite). QProcess is looking for file with name

Code:

---

"git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git"

---

Of course it fails. Try this :

Code:

---

process.start("git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git");

---

or this

Code:

---

QStringList params;
params << "clone" << "ssh://user@host:port/Template.git";
process.start("git", params);

---

P.S. d_stranz was faster ;)

Thank you for your ansewers;

I have already tried the method 1:

Code:

---

process.start("git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git");

---

// fails

I'll try tomorrow the 2nd :cool:

Remember what d_stranz wrote : Assuming of course that the git program is on your system's executable search path and that you have permission to execute it.

The same problem for the 2nd method :

Code:

---

QProcess process;
QStringList arguments;
arguments << "clone" << "ssh://user@host:port/Template.git";
process.start( "git", arguments );

---

Code:

---

process.start("git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git");
 
    if (!process.waitForStarted()) {
        qDebug() << "Error : " << process.errorString();
        return 1;
    }
    qDebug() << "No Error ";
 
    process.waitForFinished(-1); // will wait forever until finished

---

Console output : No Error ===> Process starts OK ??

I have used QProcess with Gerrit without problems. exmple :

Code:

---

process.start("ssh -p port user@host gerrit create-project test")

---

===> Creates project in Gerrit OK

How can I be sure of it ??
If Gerrit works without pbs ===> Git also works also ??

Simple : open system command line and type git<Enter>.

Yes, I have

I Have already used git clone on system command line whitout problem

Qprocess with Gerrit works well

QProcess with Git fails

Code:

---

projectClone = "git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git";
    process.start(projectClone);
 
    if (!process.waitForStarted()) {
        qDebug() << "Error : " << process.errorString();
        return 1;
    }
    qDebug() << "No Error" ;
 
    if(process.waitForFinished())
    {
        qDebug() << "Error Waiting : " << process.errorString();
        return 1;
    }

---

Console output :
No Error
Error Waiting: "Unknown error"

Is exactly the same command working in command line ?
Do it need some sort of interaction ?

Yes the same :

Code:

---

git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git

No, just the previous command

Cmd line screenshot: Attachment 11945

I have no idea :(

Hii,

There is no error in the programm

Code:

---

projectClone = "git clone ssh://user@host:port/Template.git";
    process.start(projectClone);
 
    if (!process.waitForStarted()) {
        qDebug() << "Error : " << process.errorString();
        return 1;
    }
 
    if(!process.waitForFinished())
    {
        qDebug() << "Error Waiting : " << process.errorString();
        return 1;
    }

---

But, I don't see the project in my directory :(
With cmd line, I see the project

Before process.start() put in code :

Code:

---

qDebug() << QDir::current();

---

Thanks it works
