hgview crashes with error AttributeError: 'phasecache' object has no attribute '_phaserevs'

[Tushar Naik]

We open hgview and later we browse and select our mercurial repository. Later below error is thrown

Hi @tsnaik thanks for reporting this bug.

I think this might be related to a more recent version of mercurial unsupported by hgview 1.9.0

Can you try to reproduce with a more recent version of hgview ? https://pypi.org/project/hgview/ (1.10.7 for example). For debian packages you can try out the repo hosted by logilab (no service garantee).

deb http://apt.logilab.fr bionic-backports main

(the signing key is here : http://apt.logilab.fr/key.asc )

If you are blocked, an alternative software for a similar usage is tortoisehg https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=tortoisehg

Hi @Arthur

I installed hgview_1.10.7-1~bpoubuntu18.04+1_all.deb from logilab repo and hgview works now as expected.
