Hello!
I’ve noticed something fairly odd when trying to search for commits for a specific user.
If I view all recent commits unfiltered, I can see the user’s commits just fine. However, If I try to filter by ‘Author’ for said user, I get no results. Even though the user has 100% made commits.
This isn’t the case for all users, It only appears to happen for users who have accents in their names. After some digging, a colleague found a workaround by altering the URL to include the user’s email address instead of their name. See below for an example.
https://gitlab.daltonmaag.com/damatype/venn-vf/-/commits/master?author=FirstName%20LastName
Yields no results. However,
https://gitlab.daltonmaag.com/damatype/venn-vf/-/commits/master?author=FirstName.LastName@domain.com
Returns the commits.
We use LDAP to authenticate our users, and the problematic users in question have accents in their Display Names in AD. Whether this has anything to do with it, I’m not entirely sure. Additionally, their .gitconfig looks like:
We deploy the .gitconfigs through GPO using the following script:
REM Get Users full name
FOR /F "tokens=1 delims=" %%A in ('net user "%USERNAME%" /domain ^| FIND /I "Full Name"') do SET fullNameText=%%A
set fullName=%fullNameText:Full Name=%
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ("%fullName%") do set fullName=%%a
REM Setup the .gitconfig file in the users profile folder
IF NOT EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig.override" (
IF EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig" move %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig.old
REM Create .gitconfig file
echo [user] > %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo name = %fullName% >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo email = %username%@domain.com >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo [core] >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo editor = 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft VS Code\\code.exe' --wait >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo [push] >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo default = simple >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo [alias] >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
echo lol=log --graph --decorate --oneline >> %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
REM Copy .gitconfig to homedrive
copy %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig %HOMEDRIVE%\.gitconfig
)
REM In case .gitconfig is overriden
IF EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig.override" (
copy %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig.override %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
copy %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig %HOMEDRIVE%\.gitconfig
Again, whether the accents have anything to do with it, I’m not sure. But, I’ve tested 3-4 users who also have accents and It’s the same deal.
We’re running version 13.9.
Please let me know if I’ve missed out on anything.
