Description
In Windows, when I start the Forge console view and run the command "git", I get the following error:
***ERROR*** [git] Cannot run program "git" (in directory "D:\eclipse\workspace"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
|
However, it works fine when I run outside eclipse (in Forge command client).

Hey Koen,
I installed msysgit using the default options.
Thats weird indeed.

I took some time to look at this issue today and I (hopefully) have good news.
I was able to use the 'git' command from the vanilla Forge command client as well as from the JBoss Tools version by adding the entry %GIT_HOME%\bin to my %PATH% environment variable where %GIT_HOME% is the location where you installed Msysgit (normally this would be 'C:\Program Files\Git').
Can you check if this also works on your environment? If it does, feel free to close the issue.
Cheers,
Koen

Koen Moving to beta1 because I'm not sure yet if the problem has been solved. Waiting for input from George.
The solution is to place GIT under the PATH variable, as described above.

George, which Git client are you using? If it is Msysgit, what options did you use during installation? I have tried to reproduce the issue and I see the error that you described but contrarily to your case even the Forge command client doesn't want to execute my Git commands... :-/
