Creating new (stacked) bazaar branch fails

Asked by Rico Tzschichholz

Hello,

I am trying to create a new bazaar branch like

$ brz push lp:~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-beta.lunar

which fails with

brz: ERROR: '~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-beta.lunar' is not a valid Git repository path.

I wondering if some configuration broke locally. Using "brz 3.3.0+bzr7661-5"

Regards,
Rico

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to look into it this week.

Hey Rico

Are you still seeing this issue ? That is an error we report when things go wrong during an attempt to push to a Git repository, not a Bzr one. Are sure there are no .git files in your current folder ?

Another detail that stood out for me at a first glance is that all the other branch of this type (beta) are stacked on corresponding main branches, for example:

1:https://code.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-beta.impish
is stacked on:
https://code.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox.impish (which in turn is stacked on the one for the previous distro - hirsute)

2: https://code.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-beta.hirsute
is stacked on
https://code.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox.impish

You might want to look into why that is ? Why is the team creating those branches that way and attempt the same thing yourself for firefox-beta.lunar?

Afaict the stacking is done by launchpad automatically when it detects an uploaded branch matching an existing one to some extent. This is happening with every new Ubuntu series where a new packaging branch is required.

The error doesn't seem to be related to the stacking though.

Just for completness using

$ brz push bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-beta.lunar

works.
