Facing the same issue since we are using the git node implementation

cc @feloy

I cannot reproduce the problem on my machines (mac and Linux).

Could you please share some information of the state of the chatbot repository, by running the commands below?

$ cat .git/HEAD 
70c990bc21c70a145e46edd9cf84738d3607ecc1

$ cat .git/refs/tags/v1.1.2 
70c990bc21c70a145e46edd9cf84738d3607ecc1

Here is a video demonstration of the problem I have on my computer, which is not the same as @benoitf but still linked to the git logic.

• Start without chatbot cloned.
• Latest main cloned and build

$ cat .git/refs/tags/v1.1.2

$ cat .git/HEAD

I don't remember how I ran into this bug :-/

@jeffmaury has the same issue as this. These missing files are symlinks in the repository. The problem seems to be that isomorphic-git is not able to clone symlink files on Windows (but it is working correctly on Linux and Mac)

I don't remember how I ran into this bug :-/

The only reason I can imagine to have this issue would be that you cloned the repository manually without fetching the tags (git clone --no-tags ... or similar). Or it could have been cloned with a previous version of ai-lab using the git command? Is it possible?

so no, I did not any manual steps but probably I had a previous version.

but I suppose that if you start once and then stop and start it again later if you didn't do any manual steps between, should it prompt again the message ?

No, you should not have this message if you don't change the state of the local repository.

Analysis: on Windows symlink requires admin access by default and thus this fails and even though I've hacked the fs implementation of act as git for windows (creates a file) the status is not reported as the tree is not in line with the git metadata:

Will update the patch by adding some sudo-like wrapper but afraid it will spawn a new UI for each symlink
