repo init fails, manifest.xml not found

[mdavis-xyz]

I am unable to download the repo using repo.

Unlike the other issues raised about repo init, my issue is not ssh authentication. ssh git@github.com works for me.

I'm a bit unfamiliar with repo, I mostly use normal git.
The README is not very clear. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to git clone before repo init .... Either way it fails.

Method 1

repo init -u git@github.com:Juniper/contrail-vnc -m vrouter-manifest.xml

Result:

fatal: manifest 'vrouter-manifest.xml' not available
fatal: manifest vrouter-manifest.xml not found

Method 2

git clone https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-vrouter.git
cd contrail-vrouter
repo init -u git@github.com:Juniper/contrail-vnc -m vrouter-manifest.xml

Same error message

How can I download the code?

Once I find out, I'll create a pull request for the README. It's currently underwhelming.

The issues from vrouter-mainfest.xml didn't included on the Contrail-vnc projecct. I'm found simple an error such as message below.

error: in `init -u https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-vnc.git  -m vrouter-manifest.xml`: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/workspacecpp/.repo/manifests/.git/HEAD'

An incorrect absolute path. Result list path after run repo init command line.

/workspacecpp/.repo/manifests.git/.git/HEAD ```

Instead of

/workspacecpp/.repo/manifests/.git/HEAD

Run command line initials repository again.

$repo init -u https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-vnc.git -m vrouter-manifest.xml

If the vrouter-manifeast.xml didn't found in contrail-vnc directory. The Repo command line would switch to use default.xml file.

Simple result had during downloaded repository from internet.

repo init -u https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-vnc.git -m vrouter-manifest.xml
