Cheers, Jelmer -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Sikuli Drivers, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/81689 Title: Branches with symlinks can't be checked out on Windows Status in Bazaar Version Control System: Confirmed Bug description: Windows does not support symlinks but there is a plugin for bzr that emulates this behavior. If the plugin is installed then this works. I think this should be a core feature of bzr and not a plugin. Also displaying a stack trace is not a useful error message for the user so even if it is decided to keep it as a plugin this is not the correct behavior. When checking out a branch that uses symlinks on Windows the following exception is raised: bzr branch http://panoramicfeedback.com/opensource/bzr/be BugsEverywhere ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'symlink' Traceback (most recent call last): File "bzrlib\commands.pyc", line 626, in run_bzr_catch_errors File "bzrlib\commands.pyc", line 588, in run_bzr File "bzrlib\commands.pyc", line 292, in run_argv_aliases File "bzrlib\builtins.pyc", line 756, in run File "bzrlib\bzrdir.pyc", line 688, in sprout File "bzrlib\bzrdir.pyc", line 914, in create_workingtree File "bzrlib\workingtree.pyc", line 2113, in initialize File "bzrlib\transform.pyc", line 1008, in build_tree File "bzrlib\transform.pyc", line 1093, in new_by_entry File "bzrlib\transform.pyc", line 904, in new_symlink File "bzrlib\transform.pyc", line 318, in create_symlink AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'symlink' bzr 0.13.0candidate1 on python 2.4.4.final.0 (win32) arguments: ['c:\\Programme\\Bazaar\\bzr.exe', 'branch', 'http://panoramicfeedback.com/opensource/bzr/be', 'BugsEverywhere'] ** please send this report to [email protected] nia@client0055 /d $ bzr version Bazaar (bzr) 0.13.0candidate1 Using python interpreter: c:\Programme\Bazaar\bzr.exe Using python standard library: c:\Programme\Bazaar\lib\library.zip Using bzrlib: c:\Programme\Bazaar\lib\library.zip\bzrlib _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
