git error unknown option silent with git 2.14

[divansantana]

With a Puppetfile of

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#^syntax detection
forge "https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com"
mod 'puppetlabs/stdlib', '~> 4'

Run librarian-puppet install --verbose and notice this error:

[Librarian] Git: /usr/bin/git
error: unknown option `silent'
usage: git version [<options>]

    --build-options       also print build options

This is with git = 2.14.1-1 on Arch.

Downgrading to 2.13.x fixes the issue.

Guessing this is a problem with librarian?

Can confirm I've also hit this issue after an upgrade to 2.14.1 on OSX using Homebrew.

I'm running librarian-puppet0.1.2 and the fix was to remove the silent options in lib/librarian/source/git/repository.rb. Unsure if more recent versions are impacted.

This problem have been fixed by voxpupuli/librarian#4, but there's not available yet via Rubygems because new librarianp not released.
If you want to use now, you should write to Gemfile like the following:

gem "librarian-puppet"
gem "librarianp", git: "https://github.com/voxpupuli/librarian.git", branch: "librarianp"

# or
# gem "librarianp", git: "https://github.com/voxpupuli/librarian.git", ref: "4d78d88be2d7673a136e78760085fbf9664ff27d"

Thanks @hfm! I've been out of the loop with librarian-puppet so I'm not sure how this new gem fits into things. Is there a document outlining the new application architecture?

[ekohl]

Given this should be fixed in librarianp I'm closing this. We're working on a new release so it shouldn't be long now.
