Initenv on cygwin uses wrong

[Tim Hatch]

Reported in person at the sprint.

Using Bash in cygwin (just installed). Python 2.5 for Windows. Followed directions in TracOnWindows for Python 2.5

Specified initenv using forward slashes, os.mkdir in env.py:create fails (tries to use Windows backslashes).

I don't know if this is reproducible because I don't run Windows.

Are you sure it's the current python.exe that get used? (i.e. not the cygwin one)

I just tried, also at the cygwin Bash prompt:

[cboos@cblaptop:/C/Workspace/src/trac/upstream-trunk]
$ PYTHONPATH="C:/Workspace/src/trac/Genshi/0.3.6;." \
  PATH=/C/Program\ Files/PostgreSQL/8.1/bin/:$PATH \
  python trac/admin/console.py C:/Workspace/local/trac/test4847 initenv

and it worked:

...
Creating and Initializing Project
 Installing default wiki pages
 C:\Workspace\src\trac\upstream-trunk\trac\wiki\default-pages\CamelCase => CamelCase
 C:\Workspace\src\trac\upstream-trunk\trac\wiki\default-pages\checkwiki.py => checkwiki.py
...

(ok, that was with 2.4, not 2.5)

Further information, it works fine when you specify the full path, but ~/path triggers the issue.

[Christian Boos]

~/path should not be used, as it expands to /C/... something, i.e. a cygwin path, which of course Python has not idea about (unless it would be the Cygwin python.exe but that has never been tested AFAIK ;-) ).

If you absolutely want to use a path relative to ~, use e.g. $(cygpath -m ~/path).
