LiteXL crashes when installing plugin on flatpak package

[RobusTetus]

Installed flatpak repo of litexl and opened my python project. Installed python-ide plugin, produced following error.
LiteXL flatpak is running with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland, LITE_SCALE=1.5 and has access to my ~/Projects directory.

Do you have git installed?

EDIT:
Well, I guess the flatpak runtime we use doesn't have it.

I guess solution would be add it and build it as a dependency in the .json file in the flatpak repo or switch to freedesktop sdk as the runtime, but that would probably make the resulting app much bigger than just adding git.

The plugin should automatically "install" it, so that users don't need to have it at all in their system. Or just use libgit2 instead.

In any case, it really shouldn't just crash if git isn't installed...

I just reinstalled LiteXL, cleared data using flatsweep. So fresh environment and went through the setup. I assume you mean that git gets installed when clicking the Install Addons Package button on the main screen when the editor is first opened. Once the process finished. I opened bash in the environment using flatpak enter com.lite_xl.LiteXL bash and running git returned command not found, I even tried looking for the git executable using the find command which also yielded no results. So perhaps the plugin fails to install it in the flatpak environment?

Nono, I mean that that is what we should make it do, not what it is supposed to do now.

I see, my bad.
