I've used NSIS in the past and I really don't like it: I've found it can
lead to fragile setup packages. You may be able to use the free Visual
Studio 2013 Express with WiX after installing Update 2 to avoid having to
purchase a copy.
To build the installer, you'd just run msbuild /m
I looked into the Windows installer. I love the idea of getting one in, but at
the moment, neither of us have Visual Studio, so we need to figure out if we
want that as a dependency or if we want to evaluate something else (like NSIS).
There’s also the matter of integrating this with our build
Thanks! I've started committing .reviewboardrc files to each repo. I was
slightly worried about the server changing, but it's simple enough to add a
CNAME so things don't break.
Is there anything I can do to help get the Windows installer patch
committed and not forgotten about (presuming it's
Am I correct in thinking that a good practice would be to have users enter
the reviewboard.url setting in their mercurial.ini/.hgrc files and have a
.reviewboardrc file with just a REPOSITORY line committed to the
repository, to avoid RBTools having to search for a matching repo in RB
each time?

Well, we were able to get things working with RB Tools after a fashion. The
rbt setup-repo command always failed to find the repository, returning an
error 500. If we run rbt post --repository=foo, however, everything works
fine. I think the setup-repo command either fails because we do not have
Yeah, I've found that setup-repo doesn't work for us either. For now I
always use both --server and --repository, though I should just do the
setup manually.
With RBTools 0.6.1, setup-repo asks about 3 repos (whether they're the one
I want to use) but they're all wrong.

What type of repository is it?
It’d be really helpful to have the Path and Mirror Path fields from the desired
Repository entry, and have the URL you use locally to check out the repository,
so that we can figure out what’s going wrong.

Hi Christian,
All of our repos are mercurial repos.
An example Path would be /data_local/hg-repository/foo. The mirror path
is unused and unconfigured in all cases.
We clone from ssh://devel.ourserver.com//devel/src/hg-repository/foo

Hi Sara,
Okay, that’s why. ‘rbt setup-repo’ is really intended for the typical case
where the paths more or less match up. If your Path or Mirror Path looked like
the ssh:// URL, they would have been found.

That makes sense. It would be nice to see a section in the RB Tools setup
documentation about what to do if the setup-repo command fails. I'm not
worried about it on our end.

Hi Bruce,
Nowhere does that documentation refer to the fact that setup-repo will
often fail with less than useful errors. I think that the error should be
more useful (error 500 is not super helpful for the person trying to run
the setup command) and that the docs should mention that setup-repo
I agree, http 500 isn't at all useful: I think on my setup I was always
seeing an error saying there were no matching repositories found.
Christian's mention of Mirror Path was the hint I needed to look up the
documentation - from there I realised that entering the ssh:// URL that
developers use
Hi,
Bruce, the installer works for our Windows guys just fine. Thanks for
putting that together!
Unfortunately, we can't seem to get RB Tools configured properly for
anyone, but that's a question for another day.

I've put together an RBTools installer for Windows for testing that adds
only the rbt command to the environment (i.e. it doesn't pollute %PATH%
with python.exe etc.).
It's available from http://bluestop.org/rbtools/RBTools-0.6.1.exe - I'd
welcome any feedback.
It _should_ work on Windows XP and
Hi Bruce,
That’s fantastic. I just installed in a fresh VM, and had RBTools
up-and-running in just a couple minutes.
Would you be willing to contribute the source to the installer? I’d like to
ship an official installer with our future releases.

Christian,
Yes, I was hoping I'd be able to contribute the code to make future
maintenance simpler.
Which repo and in which directory would it be added? I see there's a old
rb-win32-installer repository on github for Review Board - would it be
there, or under contrib/ in the rbtools repo etc.?
Awesome :)
Under rbtools/contrib/installer/ would probably be best. We may end up moving
it, but that’s ag ood starting point.
rb-win32-installer is an old repository that can be pretty much ignored at this
point.

Hi David,
The biggest problem with RB Tools for our windows users is that it requires
Python 2.7, and they are running Python 3 for other services. They've tried
having both installed with no success. I think it would be a good decision
to restore parent diff support to the New Review Request
It sounds like there might be a need for a standalone RBTools package for
Windows, created using something like cx_freeze?

Most of our users use hg postreview to create review requests, but our
windows users prefer to use the site's New Review Request upload tool. In
RB 1.7.x, there was an option to upload both a diff and a parent diff. This
is no longer an option. Is there still a way to use the web tool to create

Is the reluctance just that installing python stuff on Windows is hard, or
are there other concerns?
It might be nice to add parent diff support to the New Review Request
page, but we'd need to do some redesign to fit it in with the new workflow,
which is really designed to handle basic
