git / github workflow in stash

mikael

Tried gh create_key stash, which failed because it could not import jwt. Tried pip installing jwt, which partially failed installing dependency typing. Trying the original command again, which failed with syntax error in jwk.py (which makes sense if it depends on typing).

This with latest vanilla version of Pythonista 3 and an updated version of stash.

hmm, @mikael, can you post the traceback? I don't have jwt installed, must be a module collision somewhere

mikael

@JonB, not sure how to get a traceback. Here's what happens:

gh create_key stash
no github found in /private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/447A26CB-FA57-4E8A-8C34-082F55AD274F/Pythonista3/Documents/site-packages/stash/lib
Installing pygithub master ...

   3168996
Done
stash: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named jwt

JonB

stashconf py_traceback 1

then run the command

mikael

Thanks. As I started stash to do this, I got a tip with that exact same line for enabling tracebacks. Funny - or scary, depending on how you see the world.

Here's the trace:

JonB

Hmm, okay, pygithub now depends on pyjwt. It used to be dependency free, so could just install it directly.

pip install pyjwt

should fix the issue, though i will have to update gh to maybe use pip to install pygithub (or install a specific version).

mikael

@JonB, thanks, installing pyjwt - not jwt - fixed the issue.

JonB

Does gh actually work for you? I note that jwt requires cryptography for certain algorithms, you can be forced to use pycrypto/ecsda instead. Just curious if anything we are using requires that.

mikael

@JonB, yes, it worked, to the extent that new key was added to the github account. Further testing later.

shtek

just tried git push.
first generate rsa key using ssh-keygen

,
then add the generated pub key to my site,
then push:

[pythonistascripts]$ git push
Attempting to push to: git@code.mysite.net:shtek/pythonistascripts.git, branch: refs/heads/master
stash: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: expected a string or other character buffer object

I don't know what this error means, but after I check the code site, I find that everything has been successfully pushed.

so this is an ignorable error?

zrzka

Yes, it is. Or just update StaSh to dev (selfupdate -f dev) where this is fixed already.

Also be aware that ...

git status doesn't show untracked files (#265)
git push doesn't warn you that you have to sync your repo with remote and simply overwrites history (#268)

... I constantly forget to git add files, when I edit readme on GH and forget to pull before push, my GH changes are lost.

shtek

edit readme on GH and forget to pull before push, my GH changes are lost

tested on my git site, same problem.

never thought this could happen. maybe sometimes this is useful ...... I don't need to delete the repo and rebuild it to change history :)

zrzka

It's a bug. Never ever do this in repos where someone else has access as well.
