Subject:

File Names with space appear to break activitymail

I'm using actvitymail 1.16 with perl 5.8.0 on a Mandrake 9.1 box with the following entries in commitinfo and loginfo respectively: ^projects/ensuren $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/activitymail -l ^projects/ensuren $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/activitymail -cf %{sVv} -H -o"-y --suppress-common-lines" -B ".doc .vsd .xls .zuml" -t spam@abilsoft.com -u spam@abilsoft.com >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ensurenlog 2>&1; ((sleep 2; (cd /home/gouldt/bin; /home/gouldt/bin/ensurenACLMaint); (cd /home/gouldt/bin; /home/gouldt/bin/ensurenUpdate)) &) >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ensurenlog 2>&1 Everything is working as desired, EXCEPT for filenames with spaces. As sson as I commit such a file, I get errors as follows in my log: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /abilsoft/cvsroot/CVSROOT/activitymail line 446, <STDIN> line 5. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /abilsoft/cvsroot/CVSROOT/activitymail line 446, <STDIN> line 5. shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory cvs [diff aborted]: cannot get working directory: No such file or directory Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /abilsoft/cvsroot/CVSROOT/activitymail line 381.

This is critical as the reason to move to activity mail was for it's support of file names with spaces. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dunno what --suppress-common-lines is; it's not an activitymail option. Show quoted text

Please tell me the name of the files with the spaces in them, the name of the directory they're in, and the directory location of CVSROOT. I'll try to reproduce. Regards, David

David: Thanks in advance for your assistance! --suppress-common-lines is a diff option and is enclosed in "" as needed - works perfectly for all files except those with spaces in the names. Details of files that fail: $CVSROOT=/abilsoft/cvsroot Files that fail upon commit have names like: <I'm quoting the names to be explicit - the names do not really include the "> "$CVSROOT/projects/ensuren/doc/A simple test with spaces.java" "$CVSROOT/projects/ensuren/server/doc/Use Case Definition.doc" I have not directory names with spaces (as of yet).

I've just uploaded 1.17 to CPAN. It should fix the problem. Let me know if you run into any more bugs.
