[mantisbt-dev] Issue on committing changes to a fork (mantisbt-plugins)

[Manilal K M]

Hello,

This is slightly offtopic, but since it's related to mantisbt-plugins I thought someone may have a quick solution for the following issue.

I tried to fork the timetracking plugin in mantisbt-plugins and had some issues in setting up the development environment. I cloned the repository and the source files got downloaded to timetracking folder within mantisbt/plugins. Then I moved everything (including .git) folder to the TimeTracking folder within the timetracking folder. I modified some of the files and committed the changes, but I got the following suspicious output:

[***@es032 TimeTracking]# git commit -a
[master 3b0abfe] Included jscalendar datepicker widget to input date Added new table to store factors and reference field in the data table

delete mode 100644 TimeTracking/pages/config_update.php
delete mode 100644 TimeTracking/pages/delete_record.php
delete mode 100644 TimeTracking/pages/show_report.php

I have worked with EmailReporting plugin earlier, but didn't have such issues.

Could someone help me to figure out this? Can I ignore the above messages submit the pull request?

I would like to submit couple of feature enhancements to the TimeTracking plugin.

regards
Manilal

I cloned the repository and the source files got downloaded to
timetracking folder within mantisbt/plugins.
Then I moved everything (including .git) folder to the TimeTracking
folder within the timetracking folder.

What you did is is basically moving the contents of the TimeTracking
directory to the repository's root and removing the directory. In other
words, you changed the repo's structure

Before:
./timetracking/.git
./timetracking/README
./timetracking/TimeTracking/
./timetracking/TimeTracking/core
./timetracking/TimeTracking/pages
./timetracking/TimeTracking/lang

After:
./timetracking/.git
./timetracking/README
./timetracking/core
./timetracking/pages
./timetracking/lang

The EmailReporting plugin has all its files at the repository's root,
whereas the timetracking stores it in the TimeTracking subdir.

Hope the above explanation was enough...

I suggest you checkout the repository outside of Mantis' plugin
directory, and create a symbolic link to TimeTracking subdir, e.g.

$ cd /path/to/mantis/plugins
$ ln -s /path/to/timetracking/TimeTracking

No you cant ;-)

Damien,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I thought of having a symbolic link, but then I was not very sure whether it will work with Mantis. I will get back to you if I have any more questions.

regards
Manilal
