9277 :: errorStream(p) returns output stream

• NameUndefined (orginal) [2022-07-02T16:10:11+02:00] view original

  Hello there, Im trying to start a git process using osproc.startProcess to be able to clone repos easily. Unfortunaly when getting the process errors (if any) using p.errorStream().readStr(100) returns the normal GIT output: Cloning into 'git-repo'.

  Here is the code I wrote:

  let git = osproc.startProcess("git", installPath, ["clone", fragmentUrl], options={poUsePath})
  let gitOut = git.errorStream().readStr(200)
  
  echo gitOut
  Run

  What am I doing wrong ? I already saw that in issue 8442, but compiling with -d:useFork doesn't fix anything

  Im running Artix linux if that matters.

  Thanks for the help.

  It seems that git will print its normal output to stderr. Try git clone 2>err.txt...

  A better idea is to use poStdErrToStdOut option which is actually the default, but @NameUndefined specified his own set of options without that.

  cloning any repo into stderr with git clone [email protected]:helix-editor/helix.git 2> err.txt will result in giving

  Cloning in 'helix'...
  X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
  Run

  executing it clone 2>err.txt results in have the git help written to err.txt

  I saw this issue elsewhere on github, someone suggested to use the quiet flag

  Looks like this worked. Thanks for the help

  Well yes but no, I won't be able to know what is the output and what is the error (if any). And git sends some normal output to stderr anyways so it gives the same results (I just use the --quiet option to remove normal output).
