ENOENT whenever trying to git.clone into a folder that still doesn't exist

[fernandofleury]

So, I am using exec to clone a repo and place it on a specific folder (in this case is folder1/2/3/4/5 inside of the project), and it works just fine.

But, whenever i try to achiev the same using git.clone, i get ENOENT error. The task is:

git.clone(repo, {
cwd: '1/2/3/4/5'
}, cb);

Honestly I'm not sure if I'm doing this the right way, but the docs aren't so clear about this.

Can you confirm that the folder structure and repo name are correct?

Can you also show your exec function?

[fernandofleury]

gulp.task('install', function(cb) {
return exec('git clone repo.git dest', function(err, stdin, stdout) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
    }
    cb();
  });
});

yeah, the folder structure is used as a paths object. I was using previously on the exec task as well.

Did you add the cwd to the raw exec function?
I'm trying to find the similarities, which might cause the issues.

[fernandofleury]

the cwd is represented as the dest on the snippet

[fernandofleury]

basically im doing git clone repo 1/2/3/4/5, just as the same as the git.clone() example

[stephenlacy]

The cwd is the node working directory, not the destination folder for the git command.
It is failing with ENOENT resource not found since the folder does not exist for it to change directories to.

Add the destination to the args option, git.clone(repo, {args: '1/2/3/4/5'}).

I will add the example to the repo for sub folders, thanks for bringing it up!

Thank you, Sorry for my miscomprehension.
