unable to create directory /var
It is trying to create a temporary file in which to store the one of
the two sides of the diff. Can you trace the problem by running in a
debugger?
This sounds like a repeat of:
https://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg24920.html
Basically, it’s an artifact of the way macOS symlinks /var, /tmp, etc.
to their actual locations, which doesn’t happen on other *ix type
systems, so the bug is never tickled there.
yes, this looks like the exact same problem, see my previous mail: fossil
detects that `/var' exists while not being a directory and bails out
(which it should not but rather resolve the link and check whether the
resolved link is a directory...).
I reiterate that I wonder what has changed recently (either on the side of
OSX or fossil) since the problem was definitely non-existent some time
ago? and why does it work when omitting `--to' from the `gdiff' call? no
idea...
more important: is a fix/work-around possible (apart from telling me to do
it myself which I would have a hard time with ...)
