Subject: difftool sends malformed path to exernal tool on Windows
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:14:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <011301cf2c2d$90442810$b0cc7830$@lsst.org> (raw)
From the Git Bash command line, I enter
$ git difftool
and type ‘y’ when the file I want to difference appears. Git correctly
calls the external diff tool (LVCompare.exe), but the path for the remote
file Git passes to that tool is malformed (e.g.,
C:\/Users/Paul/AppData/Local/Temp/QCpqLa_calcLoadCellExcitation.vi).
Obviously the \/ (backslash forwardslash) combination is incorrect.
For the record, I have successfully made calls to LVCompare.exe manually
from a Windows command prompt directly (without Git).
The relevant portion of the .gitconfig file is:
[diff]
tool = "LVCompare"
[difftool "LVCompare"]
cmd = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/National Instruments/Shared/LabVIEW
Compare/LVCompare.exe' \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
For the record, the operating system is Windows 8.1.
Paul
