I don't have azure, so I'm not able to debug this. Any ideas what's going
wrong?

Description

I tried using Paket to install Git dependencies in Azure web sites -
running Paket on Azure machine - and it fails to restore Git dependency:

Paket.exe 3.13.3.0 is up to date.
Paket version 3.13.3.0
Paket failed with:
Checkout to D:\home\site\repository\paket-files\github.com\ionide\FsAutoComplete failed.
Message: Could not run "git clone file:///.paket\git\db\FsAutoComplete".
Error:
Cloning into 'FsAutoComplete'...
fatal: 'D:/Program Files (x86)/Git/.paket/git/db/FsAutoComplete' does not
appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Repro steps

All I had in my paket.dependencies was

framework: >= net40
source https://nuget.org/api/v2

nuget FAKE

git https://github.com/ionide/FsAutoComplete.git cors build:"build.cmd LocalRelease", OS: windows
git https://github.com/ionide/FsAutoComplete.git cors build:"build.sh LocalRelease", OS: mono

Version of Git on the Azure box is:

To my understanding you do not have write permissions to D:/Program Files (x86) in Azure web sites.

Weird. Why would we write there?

@cdrnet Yeah, I would imagine that that's the problem, although the error message could be a little clearer.

So if someone can find the place where we try to write there it would be really helpful

Is there a way to get more verbose log than with -v?

The script runs in D:\home\site\repository and the output message says that it tries to check out into D:\home\site\repository\paket-files\github.com\ionide\FsAutoComplete, but then it says Could not run "git clone file:///.paket\git\db\FsAutoComplete", which makes me think that perhaps (for some reason), the command that Paket runs is somehow incorrectly generated?

-v is all we have. More details can only be added in pull request.

@tpetricek any chane for me to reproduce that with your project? like pushing more and more paket releases with more detailed logs and see what happens?

when I run locally I get:

so it's using my user path where it's using D:/Program Files (x86)/Git/ for you

@tpetricek what's Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile) giving you?

@forki Good psychic debugging skills!

System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);;
val it : string = ""

ok. then I need to work around that.

any ideas for alternative location for git repo cache?

I suppose LocalApplicationData might work:

System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);;
val it : string = "C:\DWASFiles\Sites#1tryfsharp-autocomplete\LocalAppData"

(Unless the hash sign in the URL breaks something else :-))

Alternatively:

• Allow an override via an explicitly specified environment variable? (Probably too much hassle)
• Local directory of paket.exe (Not that useful, but would likely always work)

ok let's test LocalApplicationData - but tomorrow...

👍

ok release new version with a fix. please try it

🎉 👏 Everything working now!

awesome!
