Powerbuilder 2022 build 1892/ Windows 10

GIT central repository : Azure Devops (If it matters )

I get the message

" ---------- Source Control: Errors   (17:39:52)
Git detail error info: The path 'C:' does not exist in the given tree
Git client error code: Requested object could not be found. Because of invalid value in Author, Email, username, password, or local branch name, etc.
Failed to revert file.
Failed to do Git revert.
 ---------- Finished Errors   (17:39:53)"

This seems to have persisted since version 2021.

Everything else is working smoothly against central repository.

 

regards

Ronnie,

In my case the problem is most likely that the revert operation is supposed to run under some unspecified , unknown system account that is lacking the proper credentials for execution. And those credentials are dictated by company group policy, outside my control. So I accepted the workaround:

 

Right-click on the PB-object to be reverted and select "Open Containing folder". Right-click on the corresponding file and select TortoiseGit (Or whatever 3.party GIT tool you are using). Do the the revert operation there.

Afterwards do a refresh in the PB object browser.

 

This function is needed extremely often so I don't understand why Appeon doesn't fix it.  Typically one messes up an object and wants to get back to the starting point.

 

regards 

sverre

Hi Sverre,



Thanks for pointing out the workaround. I agree - this sort of basic functionality should just work.



Regards,

Ronnie

Was there any resolution of this issue?

I'm experiencing the same thing - unable to perform a git revert.

PowerBuilder 2022 R3 Build 3356

Git version 2.45.1

GitHub repository

git commit, git push, git pull all work without issue (in this simple test)

Workspace resides in a directory under C:\Users\<username>\

Starting with local repository in sync, I made a simple change to an object.

Turned on detailed logging of source control activity.

From library painter, performed a git revert.

From the log file:
