mashling create myApp fails about mashling

[pointlander]

Pulling down the dependencies works for me (tested on linux and macOS). I would guess this is a network issue?

[yxuco]

I have connected to the internet and have access to other github resources. However, the above link on go.googleresource.com does not exist. All the failed packages are in fact at github.com/golang, which maybe why they failed.

[pointlander]

Perhaps a git compatibility issue? Which version of git do you have? (Also which computer platform are you using?) Thanks.

@yxuco Can you post your Go environment? (go version, GOPATH, etc...)? How are you pulling down the mashling repository (should be: go get -u github.com/TIBCOSoftware/mashling/...)? Do you have the latest version of GB installed? It can be found here: https://getgb.io. Finally, which git version are you using? Perhaps git is ignoring redirects or you are behind a proxy?

I updated my git to the latest version 2.15.1. The error occurs at the following git command. However, it works if I change the URL to github.com/golang.

git clone https://go.googlesource.com/net /Users/yxu/go/src/golang.org/x/net
Cloning into '/Users/yxu/go/src/golang.org/x/net'...
fatal: https://go.googlesource.com/net/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?
git version
git version 2.15.1
git clone https://github.com/golang/net /Users/yxu/go/src/golang.org/x/net
Cloning into '/Users/yxu/go/src/golang.org/x/net'...

Searched the error on internet, and the following post says that it is a problem of git repo server config issue (i.e., a problem of go.googlesource.com) How did you setup your git to get it to work? Is there a way to change the URL to use github.com/golang, instead of go.googlesource.com?

You will need to run git update-server-info on the server to generate the files necessary for the “dumb protocol” to work.

On my systems git clone https://go.googlesource.com/net works with:
git version 2.14.3 (Apple Git-98)
git version 2.7.4
git version 2.1.4

[yxuco]

Got it working with the pre-installed git on my mac under /usr/bin, which is version 2.14.3 (Apple Git-98). For some weird reason, other installed git version does not work on git clone https://go.googlesource.com. This may not be an issue after all. Thanks.

See a different error when using "mashling create mashdemo":
........
github.com/lightstep/lightstep-tracer-go
FATAL: command "build" failed: exit status 2
Mashling gateway successfully built!

Then, tried to run "gb build" from the new project root folder, but got this:

/Users/yxu/Developer/go_workspace/mashdemo> gb build

github.com/TIBCOSoftware/mashling/lib/util

util.go:74:18: cannot call non-function element.Name (type string)
FATAL: command "build" failed: exit status 2

Yeah, that is fixed in the pull request: #96 Try building a recipe from: https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/mashling-recipes Perhaps this recipe: https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/mashling-recipes/tree/master/recipes/rest-conditional-gateway

[yxuco]

That works. Thanks.

A workaround for the primary git issue has been found. On Apple platforms the Apple build of git should be used. A pull request for the secondary issue has now been merged. The pull request updated the default manifest.
