#1871 assigned defect
Goofy quoting/space handling in buildbot_service.py
Reported by: | dabrahams | Owned by: | |
---|---|---|---|
Priority: | major | Milestone: | 0.9.+ |
Version: | 0.8.3p1 | Keywords: | windows |
Cc: | rutsky.vladimir@… |
Description
If the slave directory has spaces in it, BB gets completely confused if following http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/RunningBuildbotOnWindows
It appears that the directory gets broken up on space boundaries, and if you explicitly add double-quotes to prevent that, the entire string (including quotes) is interpreted as a path _relative_ to buildbot's installation in site-packages/
That wiki page should include 2 prominent warnings about this pitfall until the actual problem is fixed.

There's still a bug to fix here - any windows devs are welcome to pick it up! I suspect it has to do with cmd.exe parsing, which I do not understand.

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed
I'm still not skilled enough in Windows to understand this. Wiki editing is free, though :)
