Getting Nuxeo 5.5 source code

[ldreuillat_DREU]

I used the instructions to get Nuxeo 5.5 source code from Github (http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/CORG/Getting+the+Nuxeo+source+code) :

• I installed Git client

• I ran the following commands :

• git clone git://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo.git

• cd nuxeo

• git checkout master

Till now it worked But when I try to retrieve the release 5.5 with the following python command it fails : python clone.py release-5.5

It return the following exception :

  **File "clone.py", line 65
    except ExitException, e:
                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax**

I made the test under Windows (7 64 Bits) and Linux (CentOS 5.8 64 Bits) and the result is the same. Any idea?

Hi,

Which Python version did you install? We recommend to install Python 2.7.x.

I made a new test with Pyhton 2.7.3 and now I got the following exception

Ok. This one is a very different issue, Windows specific. It may happen for various reasons, the most common one being a PATH issue with a conflict between multiple Git versions.

I installed Pyhton 2.7 and I added pyhton and Git pah before Cygwin PATH on my machine and now it works 😉

If you work on Windows with MSysGit, you will also encounter a message saying that .git can't be found while trying to run clone.py. In that case, go for version 5.7 that provides a workaround with option --no_drive_mapping. See the documentation update in Getting the Nuxeo source code
