Help test the installer

[Charles]

I doubt it's a problem, but after updating to the latest patch I noticed a warning hidden amongst the install messages:

Code: Select all

==== Build Cobra.Lang library
run: cobra.exe -build-standard-library -debug -native-compiler:C:\WINDOWS\Micros
oft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe -turbo -out:Cobra.Lang.dll -key-file:Cobra.
Lang\Cobra.Lang.snk Cobra.Lang\AssemblyAttrs.cobra
   : warning: Cannot extract version number from version string: svn: (post 0.8)

Regards, Obtuse.

Can you .zip up the directory and either attach here, send it to contact@cobralang.com or share it through something like dropbox? I want to take a look.

Also, what output do you get for your installed Cobra when you enter "cobra -about"?

Sorry, which directory did you mean?
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 ? cobra-workspace? C:\Cobra ?

Does running under Windows XP make a difference? (my workplace is upgrading to Windows 7 in the next few months, after which I will no longer have access to XP)

[Charles]

I meant the Cobra workspace directory from where you installed this from. That's where the installer would try to pick up the Subversion revision number.

I don't know if this is an XP issue or not.

[ObtuseAngle]

Sorry about the delay.
cobra-workspace folder zipped to http://www.mediafire.com/?55q5oe30b6626vk

This is due to a file format change in Subversion 1.7 and up including the fact that there is only one .svn directory in a workspace now (instead of one per subdirectory). I'm working on a fix.

[Charles]

This is fixed now. I tested on:

-- Mono 2.10 on Ubuntu 12.04
-- Mono 2.10 on Mac OS X 10.6
-- .NET 4.0 on Win 7 32-bit

Cheers.

I'm still seeing a couple of (not particularly worrying) warnings.

That's disappointing to me since the point of the new SubversionUtils.cobra code was to avoid this problem. It worked in the workspace you sent me before, but obviously something is missing. Can you pack up your directory and share it so I can take another look?

I eliminated "warning: The variable "argExc" is declared but never used".

[ObtuseAngle]

It may be my computer - undeleting/updating programs and moving stuff around in preparation for a move to Windows 7 has apparently broken a few things, I'm getting some interesting errors running Office and some software installers.

Anyway, here's the zipped workspace: http://www.mediafire.com/?iza99cm92cda0l7

And, of course, there's always the possibility I've done something stupid.

[Charles]

Okay, should be fixed for real this time. I needed to push a new snapshot of the compiler down into the Snapshot/ directory so that it would have the new code for detecting revisions of workspaces created in Subversion 1.7--which I downloaded and tested with btw.

Thanks for posting your files.
