Hi,

I have 2 local commits in EDK-II repo. As per the steps mentioned in https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Development-Process,
I am executing PatchCheck.py, but, the execution of this script is giving below error. I see that the command used is "git show --pretty=%cn <%ce>, --no-patch, --no-use-mailmap, <CommitID>, but, as git complains that there is no --no-patch option for git show and also format for --pretty should be in quotes. I tried on git version 1.8.3.1 and 2.1.1. Is there any specific git version needed to execute this script ?

==========
python BaseTools/Scripts/PatchCheck.py -1
Checking git commit: HEAD
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "BaseTools/Scripts/PatchCheck.py", line 770, in <module>
sys.exit(PatchCheckApp().retval)

Thanks,

Are you using Python 3?

No. I am using Python 2.7.5.
But, in any case, the script is issuing "git show --nopatch" command and git is complaining about --no-patch

"--no-patch" appeared in 1.8.4, as a synonym for "-s".

Not sure why it doesn't work with 2.1.1 -- perhaps your old git instance
appears first on $PATH?

Hi Laszlo,

I am able to execute PatchCheck.py on a patch generated from git format-patch, but, could not execute this script with git commits i.e., using -1 or -2 as arguments to read git commits.

PatchCheck didn't show any Warnings or Errors on the patch file. so, i executed git send-email with my patches to devel@edk2.groups.io, but, could not see my patch set in edk2 devel mailing list, https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topics. do i need to do anything else to send the patch to devel mailing list ?

Thanks,
Sandeep

IIRC an explicit commit range should work. For example,

$ python3 BaseTools/Scripts/PatchCheck.py master..

You need to be both subscribed (up to you) and unmoderated (up to a
moderator) for your postings to go through immediately. A few of us take
turns at moderating the list, there may be delays for first time posters
(even after subscription). Sorry about that.

Your series should now be visible to all list subscribers:
<https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/67177>. (It wasn't me that let
it through, another moderator got to it first.)

Thanks
Laszlo

Similarly, "python3 BaseTools/Scripts/PatchCheck.py HEAD~2" also works.
