New issue 1741 by December1981: Stray control characters with perforce diff
http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=1741
*NOTE: Do not post confidential information in this bug report.*
What version are you running?
1.0.9
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add, say, a carriage return character \r directly to a file under
perforce
2. Post a review with this edited file in the perforce changelist
3. patch will have trouble understanding the diff, as it will have \n\n in
the middle of the diff
Please provide any additional information below.
I got round this by adding the two lines below (after line 104 in
diffutils.py)
diff = convert_line_endings(diff)
--# filter any strings of \n characters = 2 in the middle of the diff
--diff = re.sub(r'\n{2,}(.)', r'\n\1', diff)
This was a temporary fix for me - it doesn't capture the additions to the
file in this pathological case, but it stops the exception generated when
patch returns a failure (and if there were other genuine differences in the
file, these would appear normally in the diff view)
I also noticed that diffutils.py has the following lines of code at line 79
temp = data.replace('\r\r\n', '\n')
temp = data.replace('\r\n', '\n')
temp = temp.replace('\r', '\n')
Shouldn't the second line be ?
temp = temp.replace('\r\n', '\n')
