bzr get fails

I'm able to do a 'bzr get lp:vm' here, so it might be a bzr issue. Care to tell us what version of bzr you're using?

Thanks.

I have:

'get' is an alias for 'checkout' which you can only do if you have write access to the branch.

Try bzr branch lp:vm

Thanks. Here's the output.

I was hopeful for a minute, there.
I didn't know that, about get.
I wonder if the vm project is still alive.

Ah ha, it seems that the launchpad plugin isn't loaded. That is what does the lp: name resolution.

What do you get if you type `bzr plugins`?

I'm getting the following:

>> bzr plugins
bzrtools 2.1.0
    Various useful commands for working with bzr.

launchpad 2.1.0
    Launchpad.net integration plugin for Bazaar.

netrc_credential_store 2.1.0
    Use ~/.netrc as a credential store for authentication.conf.

news_merge 2.1.0
    Merge hook for bzr's NEWS file.

it looks to me like the launchpad plugin should be working.
Perhaps I am missing a dependency?
Sorry for all the trouble. I'm new to launchpad.

try:
  bzr branch -Derror lp:vm

That should give a traceback with more details about where this error is coming from.

FWIW, it succeeds here:

bzr branch lp:vm
Branched 734 revision(s).

Hi Vincent.

Thanks.
does this help?

Wow, so it seems that the parent directory of vm *locally* on your host doesn't exist.

I.e. we try to create the "vm" directory with mkdir and the os tell us that elisp (from your 1 jobs @ bar-macbook.local, 02:02 PM, in ~/elisp/vm, 774).

In what context are you running this command ?

Could it be that you somehow ended up in a directory that you deleted from another shell or from the finder (you're running OSX given the paths involved).

Hi Vincent,

Nay, I'm accident prone, but that's a bit much even for me.
Look:

1 jobs @ bar-macbook.local, 02:52 PM, in ~/elisp/vm, 778:
>> cd ../
1 jobs @ bar-macbook.local, 02:52 PM, in ~/elisp, 779:

But!!!
You were on the right track.
I happened to have a binary file, an old compiled vm something, sitting in that vm directory, into which I was trying to branch vm.
So, this is a big duh. I'm so sorry for the trouble. removing that old file cleared up the problem.

Thanks,
Bar

Thanks, Vincent!
What a silly problem. I'm sorry.
