Cannot create branch (SOLVED)

Bugs
#1

I cannot create branch in the Defold Editor.
It says: Unable to create branch

OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Possible reason: My country has blocked google and many websites. I have a vpn but I wonder if it works… I can log in my google account though.

Can I use other hosting services to host my projects?

Hi!

I suspect that the editor simply wasn’t able to create the branch-directory. A few things;

  • Where have you “installed” the Defold application? Did you unzip it into some directory that require certain permissions?
  • Could you try starting the application as an Administrator?
  • And last, a long shot, are there any spaces in the directory path? :smiley:

I started Defold Editor as Administrator and it worked…
But I am sure that no permission is required to create the branch-directory, Defold just cannot work well with UAC in Windows 10.

Maybe in the future a Windows installer could be made for distribution for Defold editor. I like http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php Then users can choose flat folder zip or installer exe. Use the appropriate appdata folder as a folder to install into, not my programs.

Defold creates and modifies files within its own folder. If you put the folder in your My Documents or Application Data folder it should be able to run without admin permissions.
