Public bug reported: I am new to Bazaar and while reading basic documentation I've got a stacktrace when running an example from https://help.launchpad.net/FeatureHighlights/EasyBranching that instructs to use the following command to create GNU Hello branch.
bzr branch http://launchpad.net/gnuhello It results in the following error. bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.PathNotChild: Path "http://launchpad.net/gnuhello/.bzr/branch-format"; is not a child of path "nosmart+http://launchpad.net/gnuhello/"; Traceback (most recent call last): File "bzrlib\commands.pyc", line 846, in run_bzr_catch_errors File "bzrlib\commands.pyc", line 797, in run_bzr File "bzrlib\commands.pyc", line 499, in run_argv_aliases File "bzrlib\builtins.pyc", line 916, in run File "bzrlib\bzrdir.pyc", line 789, in open_tree_or_branch File "bzrlib\bzrdir.pyc", line 667, in open File "bzrlib\bzrdir.pyc", line 704, in open_from_transport File "bzrlib\lazy_import.pyc", line 125, in __call__ File "bzrlib\transport\__init__.pyc", line 1620, in do_catching_redirections File "bzrlib\bzrdir.pyc", line 685, in redirected File "bzrlib\transport\__init__.pyc", line 494, in relpath PathNotChild: Path "http://launchpad.net/gnuhello/.bzr/branch-format"; is not a child of path "nosmart+http://launchpad.net/gnuhello/"; bzr 1.5 on python 2.5.2 (win32) arguments: ['bzr', 'branch', 'nosmart+http://launchpad.net/gnuhello'] encoding: 'cp1251', fsenc: 'mbcs', lang: 'C' plugins: launchpad C:\Tools\VCS\Bazaar\plugins\launchpad [unknown] *** Bazaar has encountered an internal error. Please report a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug including this traceback, and a description of what you were doing when the error occurred. What makes me feel that docs are wrong is that "bzr branch nosmart+http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev"; command works as expected. ** Affects: launchpad-documentation Importance: Undecided Status: New -- invalid example in EasyBranching page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Launchpad Documentation Team, which is subscribed to Launchpad Documentation. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-doc Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editemails More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
