Trouble running pull-request command on OS X.

[mattjmorrison]

I just installed hub from homebrew on OS X and I tried running hub pull-request. This is the message that I got:

└──➤ hub pull-request
github.com username: mattjmorrison
github.com password for mattjmorrison (never stored):
user: Current not implemented on darwin/amd64

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the versions that I'm working with:

└──➤ hub --version
git version 2.6.4
hub version 2.2.2
└──➤ sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.9.5
BuildVersion:   13F1134

Thanks!

Interesting! It looks like it's available for darwin under the general unix build flag. If you run brew remove hub && brew install hub --HEAD, does this fix itself?

[mattjmorrison]

@parkr same result.

[parkr]

Hm, ok. It works just fine for me on Mac OS X 10.11.2. Perhaps 10.9.5 isn't yet compatible.

Dump this file into some go file in its own directory and execute go run <filename>. Does it error?

[mattjmorrison]

@parkr I get a 404 on that file.

[parkr]

@mattjmorrison Sorry about that – please check the link again.

[mattjmorrison]

Here is the result:

└──➤ go run lookup_user_unix.go
&{501 20 mattjmorrison mattjmorrison /Users/mattjmorrison} <nil>

If that works, then building from source should produce a binary of hub that works. I defer to mislav & co.

[mattjmorrison]

@parkr building from source using these instructions: https://github.com/github/hub#source did seem to correct the problem - apparently it is something with the homebrew dist?

[parkr]

@mattjmorrison Perhaps! Glad you got it working. --HEAD should have built from the source, though. Maybe there was a cache or something lying around that was used instead. Hm!

[mislav]

@mattjmorrison I'm glad you solved your problem, and sorry for the trouble. I don't know what causes this, but it seems like it's an incompatibility with pre-built binaries that we distribute with each release and OS X 10.9 😒

Thanks @parkr for help!

The build process was recently changed since 2.2.2. I wonder if it's related to that. One way to find out would be to try out the OSX build of 2.2.1 and see if it works for OS X 10.9.5.

There is at least one other go-enabled projects with a similar bug filed notaryproject/notary#194 (fix: notaryproject/notary#195). Possibly a Go error in finding the home directory on El Cap. Doesn't look like hub caching an oath token for anyone here so I'd look for it to be related to the lookup of the Github oauth token config file.

Per @jingweno's comment, I've verified that the 2.2.1 binary works for me. brew ships 2.2.2. Workaround is to simply download and use the 2.2.1 Mac binary.

[mislav]

We might need to pull in https://github.com/mitchellh/go-homedir as a workaround.

[owenthereal]

Per @jingweno's comment, I've verified that the 2.2.1 binary works for me. brew ships 2.2.2. Workaround is to simply download and use the 2.2.1 Mac binary.

This could be a problem with the cross compile script or a miss in Go's cross compile capability. The 2.2.1 builds were compiled natively on different OSes.

[mislav]

This is probably the same issue as #781. We will import go-homedir to solve this, but I'm wondering whether there will be other cgo incompatibilities in other code once execution is allowed to proceed past this point.
