unable to install ATH on macos

XMLWordPrintable

      When installing the ATH on osx, some users see this type of error: 

      https://gist.github.com/sophistifunk/c73e0d635dac84d7d796559ae12c0dd7

       

      Installing the required dependencies on OSX is not documented (and past techniques don't seem to work on fresh installs). This seems required by nodegit only. 

       

      Nodegit has also been a problem (see vivek) with failures with signatures (still trying to get the specific error message for that). Nodegit is presumably used to test multibranch (the equivalent in unit test code doesn't have this problem, it also uses a git client but doesn't seem as problematic as nodegit). Perhaps nodegit should be replaced with direct calls to the git client via shell scripting (given that seems to be mostly what it does anyway).

          Has anyone (that has had this problem) tried the obvious things of:

          1. Updating the dependency version of nodegit.
          2. Updating the version of git installed on the host machine.
          3. Manually adding logs in the failing preinstall script in an effort to get a better idea of why it's failing.

          In Vivek's case, it was because nodegit was not able to parse his ~/.gitconfig to get the user details. It didn't like the format being used by the email config - in his case, it was wrapped in angle brackets e.g. "<vivek@cloudbees.com>" or whatever.
