.git/Object file is corrupt

General
1

I started NR in the virtual box after some time. and After creating flow when I try to deploy I got this error. What can be done?

Error: error: object file .git/objects/4d/b2a0367fbacc3376b2a2d94b6f65fc5bccf95d is empty

Which .git folder is it taking about?
At what stage does this happen? Show us what comes before and possibly after that message.

I don't know which git folder is. I have enabled to project feature.

when I press the deploy button I got this error. Node-red starts without any error. my last time flow is there as it is.

I don't use the projects feature but I guess that it is the .git folder for the project that is corrupt.

5

Possible. but I don't think I've done any change from outside for project folder.

Go into the folder where the repository is (is that the project folder, I don't use projects) and run
git fsck
that will check the integrity of the folder contents.
You may get some 'dangling blob' messages but they can be ignored.

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

got this in project directory

8

Which directory exactly did you run that in?

9

/home/pranav/.node-red/projects

10

That is not a git repo. You need to go one level further down into the directory of your actual project.

Check how much disk space is left in the VM (the df -h command is probably what you need)

this is what I get

is there anything else I can do? @hardillb @knolleary @Colin.
I'm supposed to delete Ubuntu and reinstall it. but let me ask you first :sweat_smile:

15

Of course you don't need to re-install ubuntu. The problem is only related to the specific project (unless you have a hardware problem that has corrupted the repository).
Have you got the repository linked to a master on github (or other)? If so then you can re-clone it from there, after making a backup of your flows file.
Otherwise you can re-construct the project from the flow files and others in the project folder. I will have to leave it to others to say exactly how to do that as I don't know exactly how projects work.
