ZConnection - force a complete reload of database libraries

[Fr0sT]

Having a small bash script execute these commands once per hour is no problem. The problem is that I have no clue (yet) on how to store the necessary credentials with git since it seems that I canot provide them on the command line.

The simplest solution is to edit %repo%\.git\config, change field "url" to include credentials: https://username:password@github.com/...
Btw, Github refuses your invitation for me with message "Sorry, we couldn't find that repository invitation. It is possible that the invitation was revoked or that you are not logged into the invited account. ", could you try finding by name "Fr0sT-Brutal".

Unfortunately that didn't work out (yet). I was still asked for my Sourceforge password (ssh type URL) and for github it doesn't work out because I have the # char in my password that seems to have a special meaning in URLs. Bit I seem to remember, that a credential manager can be enabled that can store usernames and passwords.

I revoked that invitation. I tried to find a way to tell github that your commits were done by you, so they could be attributed to your account on github. But that only seems to work when importing an external repository and when I really pushed it from my computer.

Yes, ssh won't work as such, but Github's http could, just replace your # by URL-encoding, like %20 is space etc.
And yes, credential helpers are more powerful thing, I have an article regarding this tool.

Don't worry, no problem

I see @Jan you are not using Windows, but it might help other fellas one day. In my Git global config I set

[credential]
helper = manager

First time during sync VS code asked for a user name / password and saved it to Network Passwords. And never asked again

Fyi, two ways to keep an SVN repo in sync with GitHub automatically:

https://github.com/frones/ZeosLib/issues/1 (see comments)
https://github.com/gabrys/svn2github They say this used to be an online service, but this script was the heart of it

I assume, the same can be done in the local configuration of a repository. I will try that later on

Soo - I found the way to store credentials with git on Linux:

Code: Select all

git config credential.helper store

This will store the credentials as plain text in a hidden file.

So I checked in a minimalistic test for .AbortOperation but as I have 0 experience with unit testing I don't know how to include it in the suite. I guess I'd have to put it in ZTestconnection, but I have no idea on how to run it

Or maybe it should be a completely separate test for ZMethodInThread & .AbortOperation...?

Sorry - I didn't get around to review that yet. I hope, that I can do that during the weekend.

Can... Whenever you have time, it's not urgent at all.
