I am attempting to redirect incoming emails to my tracks installation through an email forwarding script.

|/usr/bin/ruby /home/username/tracks-1.8/script/runner -e production ‘MessageGateway.receive(STDIN.read)’

The redirection works but I receive an error that causes a bounced back email with the following error:

pipe to |/usr/bin/ruby /home/username/tracks-1.8/script/runner -e production ‘MessageGateway.receive(STDIN.read)’
  generated by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

———pipe to |/usr/bin/ruby /home/username/tracks-1.8/script/runner -e production ‘MessageGateway.receive(STDIN.read)’
    generated by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)———

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

What I am trying to do is suppress this error to eliminate the bounced back emails.  I think that the error is the result of the script running from the root directory on my host server which is not a git repository.

How do I eliminate this error?

I was able to eliminate this error with the following entry in my environment.rb file:

ENV[‘GIT_DIR’] = /home/username/tracks/.git

you are running the development tree. The footer of tracks shows the git date of the last commit. Tracks needs access to git for that. Commenting out the two lines at the bottom will also solve this.
