[BorCVS-support] absolute pathname XXX illegal for server

[Romain L. <rom...@ii...>]

As many people I have this problem when I use the interface of  BorCvs with
delphi5 (for commands : commit <file1>  update <file1> and Commit... if I
don't chose to commit all files).



The command generate with interface is "cvs.exe -F  [.]/45555.tpm
E:\Test\Unit1.pas" and the error is "absolute pathname 'E:\Test' illegal for
server".



When I launch this same command line in "E:\Test" the same error appear.



But if I test the line "cvs.exe -F  [.]/45555.tpm  Unit1.pas" it seems to be
good.



I think that the problem come from the construction of the command.

It's the reason why I search information about the source code.

I think that the construction of the command must be in the file
"TRunCvsFrm.cpp" ?



The function (Method) "Run" execute the command and display de windows of
results ? or I have not understand this part of program.



(

    TExtProcess *cvsprocess = new TExtProcess("",cmdline,FWorkingDirectory,

      epmPlainText,PreferencesFrm->IsNtCvs(),

      outputcontrol != NULL ? outputcontrol->Handle : 0);

    try {

      while (!cvsprocess->Done) {

        Sleep(10);

        Application->ProcessMessages();

        if (FAborted) cvsprocess->Terminate();

      }

) launch the process associate to the command ?





! Important ! : "cmdline" contains the command to execute ?

If it's right I find something strange in the source file "TFilesFrame.cpp".
Line 55 in function "GetFilePath" which help in the construction of
 "cmdline" :

"item->SubItems->Strings[6] + item->Caption;"

item->SubItems->Strings[6] is not relative with path but with Conflict.

item->SubItems->Strings[7] is relative with path ?



(see line 456 of "TFilesFrame.cpp"

      case 0: caption = "Name"; break;

      case 1: caption = "Revision"; break;

      case 2: caption = "Options"; break;

      case 3: caption = "Status"; break;

      case 4: caption = "Sticky Tag/Date"; break;

      case 5: caption = "Date"; break;

      case 6: caption = "Conflict"; break;

      case 7: caption = "Path"; break;

)



I don't know if my interpretation is good or if I am tired :-), please say
me if I'm in the right way or no.



Good night.
