Bat library not loaded error

[ciscohack]

Hello expert,

I am getting errors with my BAT tool running on macOS 14.5. I am running the latest BAT 0.24 and bat completely un-usable

brew install libgit2@1.7 wiil fix this

Feels as though we could perhaps adjust the following dependency:

[[package]]
name = "libgit2-sys"
version = "0.16.2+1.7.2"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
checksum = "ee4126d8b4ee5c9d9ea891dd875cfdc1e9d0950437179104b183d7d8a74d24e8"
dependencies = [
"cc",
"libc",
"libz-sys",
"pkg-config",
]

Either add it to package manager deps so it gets dl'd (brew, apt, whatever) or fix the fact that it's depending on an old version of the lib.

I encountered this issue when applying a security update to libgit. I'd make a PR but I've no idea how the core maintainers would prefer to address this.

thanks install lib solved the issue

Is bat now going to use a precise version of that library (libgit2@1.7) or will they fix this over time?

libgit2@1.7

If we install libgit2@1.7 via brew then the bat is correctly recognized and used it... But I feel they should fix it by code level should be better option

I'm going to close this in favour of #3029, which addresses the same problem.

Additionally, the Homebrew formula was updated on the 16th to point to the libgit2@1.7 instead of the latest version.

The dependency will be updated to use the newer libgit2, don't worry 🙂
