MissingNameError when using pull

See original GitHub issue

Hello.

I’m running on Node with isomorphic-git 1.1.2.

I’m trying to do a pull on an existing repository, but it errors out on me with the following message :

MissingNameError: No name was provided for author in the argument or in the .git
/config file.
    at pull (C:\dev\karaokemugen-app\node_modules\isomorphic-git\index.cjs:10027
:24)
    at async gitUpdate (C:\dev\karaokemugen-app\dist\utils\git.js:51:17) {
  caller: 'git.pull',
  name: 'MissingNameError',
  code: 'MissingNameError',
  data: { role: 'author' }
}

I’m not using any specific config because I’m using the module to keep a repo updated (so no commit/pushes).

It worked without needing a name before 1.x.

Here’s my code :

await pull({
  fs: fs,
  http: http,
  dir: o.gitDir
});

I’m wondering why I would need to configure an author name to do a pull? Not that it’s a big issue, but that might be a bug so I’m reporting it. 😃

That’s exactly what I did, I added an author objet, just didn’t specify fastForwardOnly.

Since my app isn’t making any commits, there is no possibility of a merge happening anyway 😃
