#3 Error "C:\Dokumente: can't open file 'und'"

[Anonymous]

I have downloaded the windows-version of this nice game (I think it's even better than the original!).
I stored it to my desktop. But when I want to start it there cames this error: "C:\Dokumente: can't open file 'und'" (I've a German windows).

I think this is because of the space in the path to the exe-file: "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Franz\Desktop\bubbros-1.5-win\BubBob.exe" (in english: c:\documents and settings\...). When I copy the files to c:\bubbros-1.5-win\" it works fine.

Can you attach the complete output to this bug
report? I need to see the whole traceback to
know where the problem is.

"C:\Dokumente: can't open file 'und'" is all what's displayed in the DOS-window. After 15 seconds the window disappears.

I've also found out that, when I execute the BubBob.exe from the DOS-Window (cmd) that there's another error:
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Franz>"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Franz\Desktop\bubbros-1.5-win\BubBob.exe"
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Franz\Desktop\bubbros-1.5-win\BubBob.exe: can't open file 'BubBob.py'

When I change into the directory then the first error-message is displayed.

Hey, I was able to produce an Traceback (with Strg+C), I hope that I was fast enougth:
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Franz\Desktop\bubbros-1.5-win>bubbob.exe
C:\Dokumente: can't open file 'und'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "BubBob.py", line 124, in ?
time.sleep(0.5)
KeyboardInterrupt

Ok, I think I fixed this (see the CVS version).
Quoting of command arguments on Windows is
completely insane, and mostly impossible to do
right. I worked around the issue by passing
relative paths to sub-commands instead of
absolute ones...

I've tested it: yes it works!
Thank you very much!

Oh... I was too fast...

Now, when I join a game the same error is displayed: "C:\Dokumente: can't open file 'und'"

Traceback (most recent call last):

Mh, perhaps it is better when you write anywhere that bubbros should be copyed to "c:\" in windows...

It's already written in the "download" page
that I know about problems on XP with spaces
in file names...

I've tested the changes, they seem to work for
me. I wouldn't be surprized if various Windows
versions are inconsistent, but are you sure you
are testing the correct version? The latest
traceback you pasted mentions file names in
c:\bubbros-1.5-win\ which should not cause
error messages with c:\Dokumente in them...

There is a log file that should be generated
(on my machine, it goes to c:\Documents and
settings\username\Local settings\temp\bb.log).
With the latest version the log file should
contain a few lines like this:

no_quote_worries 'c:\documents and ...\bla' => '..\bla'

You are right... previously I only downloaded BubBob.py from CVS...
Now I've downloaded the complete CVS and it works! :-)

Thank you!
