Hello it seems Netbeans git clone submodules recursive is notworking as expected in 12.0 LTS. I checked also with latest 12.2 beta 3 same issue.
Only first child submodules are found. Exemple: this public git repo https://github.com/ivanarh/jndcrash contains 6 submodules: git submodule status --recursive bc1bd3491f5f58c3619e9fd0cf2884b15cef15f6 libndcrash (bc1bd34) 00654e8fcc51eb29f7e83fc0040f46ce268dc5d9 libndcrash/external/libcorkscrew-ndk (libcorkscrew_origin-8-g00654e8) 7baf9126235ee190d34ab24385dc1ea7d80dfa00 libndcrash/external/libunwind-ndk (libunwind_origin-9-g7baf912) 39a0299cfdac41a2631cfdb4bbb637ffa66170fd libndcrash/external/libunwind-ndk/lzma (android-o-iot-preview-5) 0717e9c849655f661ad303d8bff61ceb796505bd libndcrash/external/libunwindstack-ndk (libunwindstack_origin-129-g0717e9c) 39a0299cfdac41a2631cfdb4bbb637ffa66170fd libndcrash/external/libunwindstack-ndk/lzma (android-o-iot-preview-5) But NB only found the first: Output: git submodule status git submodule initialize /home/xxx/NetBeansProjects/jndcrash/libndcrash git submodule update /home/xxx/NetBeansProjects/jndcrash/libndcrash ==[IDE]== 7 nov. 2020 à 11:32:17 Cloning finished. Is the recursive mode supported by Netbeans or not ?
