Working on windows machine about gitdummy

[realtux]

This seems like a Windows path issue or something similar. Before I do anymore troubleshooting, could you try escaping the spaces in your "target_repo".

This
"C:\\Users\\oguzhangencoglu\\SkyDrive\\Oguz\\Universite\\Research\\Digital\ Health\ Revolution\ (DHR)\ -\ Health\ Data\ Mining\ (HDM)\\Suomi24"

in favor of

"C:\\Users\\oguzhangencoglu\\SkyDrive\\Oguz\\Universite\\Research\\Digital Health Revolution (DHR) - Health Data Mining (HDM)\\Suomi24"

Thanks a lot for quick reply. I think the previous was correct. Now can't even parse json.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Line 3 column 106 corresponds to the first backslash after "Digital"

I need to hunt down a Windows box. I'll have a look at this again then.

@ogencoglu I use windows 8 , and acctually work.
Nice stuff @ebrian well done. 🎉

Maybe in you case those space and characters mess them up

Digital Health Revolution (DHR) - Health Data Mining (HDM)

btw ... i'm the 100 ⭐ ;)

@webcaetano Ha, congratulations on being the 100th :), I knew it was close and I'm proud to see how GitDummy has grown.

I wonder how I can go about fixing his issue. I simply don't own Windows machines, so, it's tough for me to troubleshoot.

[webcaetano]

I can try. But I have very sorth knowledge in python.
The error pretty sure are in escape the string

I installed a Windows VM, so I'll have a look at this shortly.

I was also having this error. It turned out that git had not been added to the system file path, so the file not found error was being thrown because git was not registering as a valid command. This had previously not been an issue for me, because I had been using MINGW32 rather than the native windows command line.

@ogencoglu Issue #32 was this exact problem. It had something to do with a non-printable character slipping into the repos.json.

Thanks, I will check. You can close the issue.
