Git in STS using egit over HTTP

[Dave Hallam-4]

Hi all,

Is anyone else using egit within STS over HTTP (I'm behind a firewall) for developing the Grails codebase?

If I try to import http://github.com/grails/grails.git into STS it fetches pack-914851f..idx then fails with an InvocationTargetException.

Looking in the STS error log shows:

org.spearce.jgit.errors.CompoundException: Failure due to one of the following:  http://github.com:80/grails/grails.git/objects/94/a62c50264d63dda1bfbcfd95e740ffa78460ce
  Not a PACK file.
    at org.spearce.jgit.transport.WalkFetchConnection.downloadObject(WalkFetchConnection.java:447)

Has anyone else encountered this - is there a workaround?

Many thanks,

Dave

egit is apparently based on a Java port of git (JGit). I'm sticking to
command-line git for now because I'm not sure about the reliability of
j/egit.

You might be affected by this issue:

HTTP access appears to be a little unreliable at the moment.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for that - I'll try again later using the git:// protocol when I'm not behind a firewall.  As you say, it looks like the HTTP protocol implementation isn't particularly stable at the moment.

Many thanks,

Dave
