Re: [egit-dev] Git Staging view not connecting
|
It turns out that somehow "link with editor and selection" toggle got turned off. In some ways I should have figured it out, but I toggled that button a long time ago and forgot that it existed.
As a usability enhancement, I recommend adding a combo box for repository selection to the staging view. Perhaps in place of repository name text in the header. This would make it easier to operate the view with link mode off either intentionally or on accident.
Thanks,
- Konstantin

It sounds familiar from a problem a colleague was having, but I had no chance to debug it and I've never had it myself. Some questions:
Was this workspace copied from another workspace?
Do you see the repository in the Git Repositories view?

One of the things forcing an extra click was this bug, fixed for 3.1:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417310
With that, it's kind of hard to get into the "No Repository Selected"
state, unless linking is disabled. (And in case of bugs, like the one you are currently experiencing :)).
