dbtool error question

[sirbedtime]

Hi! Thanks for your help. Having a server setup issue. So "py -3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt" worked, I have those all installed. Using "py -3 dbtool.py" gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:l\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\git_init_.py", line 83, in
refresh()
File "C:\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\git_init_.py", line 73, in refresh
if not Git.refresh(path=path):
File "C:\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\git\cmd.py", line 278, in refresh
raise ImportError(err)
ImportError: Bad git executable.
The git executable must be specified in one of the following ways:
- be included in your $PATH
- be set via $GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE
- explicitly set via git.refresh()

All git commands will error until this is rectified.

This initial warning can be silenced or aggravated in the future by setting the
$GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH environment variable. Use one of the following values:
- quiet|q|silence|s|none|n|0: for no warning or exception
- warn|w|warning|1: for a printed warning
- error|e|raise|r|2: for a raised exception

Example:
export GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH=quiet

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\darkstarFFXI\topaz\tools\dbtool.py", line 9, in
from git import Repo
File "C:\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\git_init_.py", line 85, in
raise ImportError('Failed to initialize: {0}'.format(exc)) from exc
ImportError: Failed to initialize: Bad git executable.

or double clicking the dbtool icon makes a lot of powershell windows open and close very quickly. Not sure what to do, if you need mroe info, please let me know. Thanks again.

Need to clone the repo using git, and make sure git is in your path. If you download the code outside of git (say, as zip), it will fail.

it was my git.exe path, solved it, thanks!

Just adding this here in case someone search for this issue in the future.

If you are using the Docker setup, you will need to add the path to git in the environment path. I did it in the wait_for_db_then_launch.sh myself, just before the call to the dbtools.
