Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / January 2004mwCVS Problem
Hello everyone. I just got CW9 and I am trying to get CVS set up for my existing project. I got the CVS Repository correctly set up, and I know about setting the CVSROOT variable in my login script. At this point, I can use CVS from the command line. I have a weird problem when trying to use CVS through CodeWarrior. I am able to Add, Update and Commit from CodeWarrior, but neither the CodeWarrior Diff or the GNU Diff functions work properly. I get "An unexpected error occurred. The root could not be parsed." in the VCS Messages window. I think CodeWarrior is having a problem finding the CVSROOT variable, but it doesn't make sense that the update, add, and commit seems to work. If someone can tell me how to fix this, please tell me. Thank you.  SignatureVincent > I am able to Add, Update and Commit from CodeWarrior, but neither the > CodeWarrior Diff or the GNU Diff functions work properly.

I had exactly this problem with Codewarrior Diff, though not with GNU Diff (I had _other_ problems with that ...). The fix for me was to add an explicit ":local:" to CVSROOT: e.g. ":local:/usr/local/cvsrep" instead of just "/usr/local/cvsrep". This shouldn't be necessary, since according to the CVS docs ":local:" is the default, but leaving it out seems to confuse mwCVS.

I tried adding in ":local:", and all worked, but I also had to remove any spaces I had in the path. Is there a way to keep the spaces as I tried "/Volumes/HD\ One/" and "/Volumes/"HD One"/", but neither worked. Thanks for :local: note, I think CW guys should note this !!!!, or fix mwCVS :-), as I had to use command line to do my cvs work. Finally a graphical diff, oh yayyy.

SignatureVincent Yes I did after adding :local: to the CVS/Root files, and removing the spaces from the paths. Has anyone got it working with spaces, as I get mwCVS chokes if there are some.

The GNU Diff doesn't seem to find the changes I made for some reason.

I added this to my .profile like you said, but it still does the same thing. Is there somewhere else I am supposed to do this? Do I need to recheckout the files or anything like that?

My definition of CVSROOT lives in .tcshrc, but I doubt that makes any difference. I think you do need to check the files out again, because the CVSROOT is recorded in the CVS data files at checkout time.

OK, rechecking out the files and removing the spaces from folder names solved the problem. I had one folder called 'C++ Sources' and 'C++ Headers' in my project directory. MwCVS choked on those paths. Some folders higher up the directory hierarchy had spaces, but mwCVS was able to handle those just fine. Maybe it can only handle on space per path. This is going to be a nuisance to fix, but at least I got it working now. Thanks everyone!! SignatureVincent |
