Lewis, please run another script

[Edward K. Ream]

Not sure you are getting notifications from #1209.

Please pull the latest rev.  Recent revs improve tracing for this issue.

Please run `leo --trace=startup` (without back ticks) from a console and report the results.

Thanks.

Edward

Totally weird.  git log -n 1 works fine from your console, but returns exit status 1 from within Leo.

Is the current working directory the same for each?  I'm running out of ideas.

I think Rob Keeney reported similar results in the console.

It may be worth getting an update from him.

Would be glad to help. However, now that I'm using Anaconda3 on Win10 to start Leo (via batch file), it won't accept command line arguments. I would prefer a simpler way, but it's not obvious how to get there from here.

Perhaps this will help. From an Anaconda3 prompt within the Leo main directory I entered:

python launchLeo.py --trace=startup

I got the following:

Exception in g.getGitVersion

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "D:\Synced\github repos\leo\leo\core\leoGlobals.py", line 5076, in getGitVersion

Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Hi Rob,

It has been 19 years since I used a Windows computer so I can't really help you directly but here is the bash script I use to start Leo on linux.

#!/bin/bash
cd leo-editor
git pull
python3 launchLeo.py $1 $2 $3

The $1 $2 $3 take three command line arguments and pass them to Leo. I think something similar should work on WIndows.

HTH,

Chris

Append %* to your script. For example:

python c:\leo.repo\leo-editor\launchLeo.py --gui=qttabs %*

Discovered that I need to place arguments `after` the path and double quotes (spaces in path require "path to leo"), not inside the double quotes. Nevertheless, I still get goofy results from `--trace=startup` (see additional reply below).
