LYR-CLI0022

the revision `lyric api --diff` names cannot be read

error · spec 14-cli

lyric api --diff <rev> runs in no git repository, names a revision git does not know, or the revision holds no lyric.toml where the package is. The exit code is 2.

Explanation

--diff <rev> reads the package as the revision <rev> of its git repository holds it — never the working tree — and compares that surface with the one here. The revision is anything git takes: a commit, a branch, a tag such as v1.2.0.

Run it inside the package's repository, name a revision that exists (git log --oneline), and one at which the package was already there.

Example

$ lyric5 api --diff v9.9.9
error[LYR-CLI0022]: git cannot read 'v9.9.9': fatal: not a valid object name v9.9.9
