WindowsError: [Error 123] when selecting Bazaar, Explorer, System Log

[André Bachmann]

Bazaar 2.5.1-1 on Win7 x64. This happens when a user profile has a redirected "My Documents" folder as a result of a group policy. After selecting Bazaar, Explorer, System Log in Bazaar Explorer an error is thrown:

Maybe related with another python problem with Windows UNC paths from bug #821354.

Error 123 means:

123 The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
ERROR_INVALID_NAME

I suppose German error message said something like that.

What is the correct filename then? Do you have python installed on that
machine? Can you try to open that file with the proper name from python?
Does this file actually exist? Does it have some content? I wonder if
bzr can write to that file but unable to read from it?

If this is not possible to do from Python, then I fear you have no
option but explicitly specify the filename for log file with environment
variable BZR_LOG.

The file really exists and is in \\server\RedirectedFolders\user1\My Documents\.bzr.log. The user has full read and write permissions.

=============================================================================
C:\Python27>python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os.path
>>> pfad = os.path.exists("\\\\server\\RedirectedFolders\\user1\\My Documents\\.bzr.log")
>>> print pfad
True
>>>
=============================================================================

So the file can be seen by Python. Another try:

=============================================================================

>>> import os.path
>>> f=file("\\\\server\\RedirectedFolders\\user1\\My Documents\\.bzr.log")
>>> f.read

>>> g=open("\\\\server\\RedirectedFolders\\user1\\My Documents\\.bzr.log")
>>> g.readline
<built-in method readline of file object at 0x0000000001D1D420>
>>> for line in g:
... print line
...

this is a debug log for diagnosing/reporting problems in bzr

you can delete or truncate this file, or include sections in

Thank you for testing. The real problem according to your traceback
earlier seems to be related to this call

os.lstat(your_path)

Can you check it? Also, can you check

os.stat(your_path)

as well?

Sorry André, I was totally blind. Everything was before my eyes, but I
was unable to see it.

The answer is really very simple: double quotes around the path.
If you repeat all your tests with path
u'"\\\\server\\RedirectedFolders\\user1\\My Documents\\.bzr.log"'
(note double quotes u'"..."') you should get the same error.

That should be known and still not fixed bug in explorer itself.

[Alexander Belchenko (bialix)]

bzr-explorer shouldn't double quote the path.
