Tejas Patil commented on NUTCH-1566: ------------------------------------ Hi Seb, I tried the patch over a windows machine with cygwin and it worked (I have not ran all possible scenarios exhaustively...just tried few). One minor suggestion: With the current patch, I see this {noformat}cygpath: can't convert empty path{noformat} I figured out the responsible place (line 115) in the nutch script: {noformat}NUTCH_JOB=`cygpath -p -w "$NUTCH_JOB"`{noformat} As the NUTCH_JOB value is empty while running in local mode, it gave that error message. The if case for adjusting NUTCH_JOB at lines 113-116 in [nutch script|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/nutch/trunk/src/bin/nutch?view=markup] could be moved in the block just above it to address that.
