Startup time is too long in Git Shell about posh-git HOT 21 CLOSED

If you open plain PowerShell on each machine (not Git Shell), how long do they take?

from posh-git.

I don't know exactly how GH4W loads posh-git, but to test posh-git in isolation you can put something like this in your regular $PROFILE:

 # Load GH4W environment
. (Resolve-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHub\shell.ps1")

$posh_git_sw = [Diagnostics.Stopwatch]::StartNew()
. (Resolve-Path "$env:github_posh_git\profile.example.ps1")
$posh_git_sw.Stop()
Write-Host $posh_git_sw.Elapsed

@JayBazuzi In all 3 PCs, plain PS started almost instantly, no delay

@dahlbyk Hi, I got the result - 00:00:25.8699886 ....

from posh-git.

00:00:25.8699886

Well then...you're right to object to that. 😊 I've never seen anything close to that before, but I'll see if I can add some instrumentation to help figure out what's taking so long.

from posh-git.

Could you please try this branch (in your normal PowerShell, not GitHub Shell):
https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git/tree/ImportDebug

Beyond the standard install, just add $posh_git_import_debug = $true before profile.example.ps1 is loaded.

from posh-git.

Hi @dahlbyk ,
I've tried to replace posh-git under $env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHub ( rename PoshGit_e0fc5e56ff55708a890f408f03656f758fa0ba8a to PoshGit_e0fc5e56ff55708a890f408f03656f758fa0ba8a_old) for testing the branch, something amazing.
System delete the PoshGit_e0fc5e56ff55708a890f408f03656f758fa0ba8a_old folder and create a whole new PoshGit_e0fc5e56ff55708a890f408f03656f758fa0ba8a folder. And then, the startup time became normal as before.
I don't know why....

from posh-git.

In my opinion, maybe GitHub.exe changed something under PoshGit forder is the root cause of my problem. I'm sorry I can't reproduce it because the original folder got lost :)

from posh-git.

I assume the folder was replaced as some sort of ClickOnce security feature.

the startup time became normal as before

Normal as in a few seconds instead of 25?

To rule that out you could clone and install your own copy of posh-git (into C:\Temp or whatever):

git clone https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git.git -b ImportDebug
cd posh-git
.\Install.ps1
. $PROFILE

I know GH4W has its own tricks around authentication...not sure what else it could be. /cc @haacked

@dahlbyk Yes, after system rollback the post-git flder, the startup time is 00:00:01.4389930

from posh-git.

Fascinating. Well, I'm going to close this for now...let me know if it comes back.

from posh-git.

I am running version 1.0.41.2 on Windows 8, and just had the same issue as SenWang. The actual shell window would open immediately, but it just sits there with the lines...

Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

..for a very long time. You don't see the "MyFolder\x\y [master]>" prompt until after the long pause.

Just like in SenWang's case, renaming the %LOCALAPPDATA%\GitHub\PostGit_XXX folder to PostGit_XXX_old and restarting GitHub for Windows seems to resolve the issue.

from posh-git.

Hey, sorry to bump this closed issue, but I'm having the same problem - PowerShell takes really long time to start (about 25 seconds). I tried replacing my posh-git install with the ImportDebug branch, didn't help.

Any ideas?
I'm using "regular" git installation from Chocolatey (cinst git).

I'm having the same problem, takes about 25 seconds for this thing to start up /:

What do you mean by "didn't help"? Make sure you set $posh_git_import_debug = $true before profile.example.ps1 is loaded...

I would expect additional output that looks something like this:

VERBOSE: 00007:Loading posh-git...
VERBOSE: 00013:CheckVersion.ps1 ...
VERBOSE: 00066:Utils.ps1 ...
VERBOSE: 00073:GitUtils.ps1 ...
VERBOSE: 00079:GitPrompt.ps1 ...
VERBOSE: 00106:GitTabExpansion.ps1 ...
VERBOSE: 00190:TortoiseGit.ps1 ...
VERBOSE: 00239:posh-git Loaded!

from posh-git.

Ah, I didn't know, since I assumed the debug branch would contain the "debug" scripts...

Eiter way, today I completely removed all traces of posh-git (including the entries in Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1) and cloned it from source. This solved the problem for me!

I had set it up disabled by default with the thought that I might eventually merge the change into master to facilitate others' debugging, but you're right that until then it's silly that the branch doesn't turn on debugging.

But now if it's fixed how can we figure out what was wrong?! ;)

For those still experiencing issues, another thing to check is what you see in $Errors - if a bunch of stuff is failing (no idea what), that could bring things to a crawl.

I had to wait ~5 minutes before the Shell becomes available for usage in Win8 x64,

Just like in SenWang's case, renaming the %LOCALAPPDATA%\GitHub\PostGit_XXX folder to PostGit_XXX_old and restarting GitHub for Windows seems to resolve the issue.

This fixed my issue.

from posh-git.

You shouldn't need to rename PoshGit_XXX:

1. Open GH4W
2. Select tools > check for updates...

from posh-git.

YES, this issue had been solved since last update :)

from posh-git.

Thanks for the information, I thought it auto-checks for the update. So
far, everything is great. Cheers!
