How to run Addon Manager in Headless mode?

[sgrogan]

I'm still confused as to what the function of git.Git() does

Thanks for that.

workbenches now output in a 3 columns

So there are 2 issues remaining..
1) when running using the check flag (which triggers CheckUpdateRepo, the script should just be checking if there are updates pending, but instead it's also downloading said updates.
2) InstallRepo() is also showing the repository has been downloaded as well but is still reporting an error. I think I know the issue why but I've been looking at this script too long...i need to step away from it.

Ok, something odd is happening.
background: the way the Headless script (based on yorik's AddonManager scripts) checks if there are updates for workbenches is simply running a git status and then regexing the output to for 'git pull' will give you the amount of commits your branch is behind remote master:

Code: Select all

                if "git pull" in gitrepo.status():
                    print('\t' + repo[0] + ' ' + 'has an update')
                    status = re.findall(r"Your branch (.*)\,", gitrepo.status())
                    # print how many commits we are behind master
                    print('\t\t' + repo[0] + ' ' + status[0] + '\n')

But recently git status hasn't been behaving this way. For example:

Code: Select all

[foo@foo Glass]$ git status origin
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean

[foo@foo Glass]$ git fetch
From https://github.com/triplus/Glass
 * branch            HEAD       -> FETCH_HEAD

[foo@foo Glass]$ git pull
From https://github.com/triplus/Glass
 * branch            HEAD       -> FETCH_HEAD
Updating 037588b..d7b73e6

[foo@foo Glass]$ git reset --hard HEAD~1
HEAD is now at 037588b Initial commit

[foo@foo Glass]$ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean

As you can see from above, the Glass repo wasn't originally up to date with upstream and git status didn't report this.
I first git fetch which returns a generic * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD which I don't full grok what it means (explanation here and here). I ran a git pull which then showed there was an update pending..wth?
Then I git reset --hard HEAD~1 the local Glass repo rollback 1 commit behind master. I ran git status again, still reports everything is OK.

what am I missing ?

@yorik do you mind weighing in on this? I'm so close to making this happen.

help is requested

Also, I need some help in figuring out how to remove addons from user.cfg (and system.cfg) based on the addon being removed, each addon may indivdually alter different parts of the user.cfg file (for example, TabBar)

Would you be interested debugging this script. I'm at a loss here.

I'm interested to help (at least ). Unfortunately probably very few spare time in the coming days. Would you be able to send a PM with a concise summary of what you're trying to achieve, where you are and what is blocking ATM? So I can quickly have a macro vision. Pointers to existing posts are OK as well.

Great. I'll post it here instead of PM that way if anyone else wants to help they're more than invited.

Good. As I didn't follow the topic, I worried that it may be redundant with the whole thread.
