Bug ID: 72290 Summary: tilde in argument to -dir causes exception Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
If the directory ~/.pywikibot2 doesnt exist
/path/to/current/dir/ $ python pwb.py -dir:~/.pywikibot2 version NOTE: ~/.pywikibot2/user-config.py was not found Please follow the prompts to create it: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 149, in <module> run_python_file(path, [path], [path.decode('ascii')]) File "pwb.py", line 69, in run_python_file exec(compile(source, filename, "exec"), main_mod.__dict__) File "generate_user_files.py", line 19, in <module> import pywikibot File "pywikibot/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> from pywikibot import config2 as config File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 209, in <module> _base_dir = get_base_dir() File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 195, in get_base_dir raise RuntimeError("Directory '%s' does not exist." % base_dir) RuntimeError: Directory '/path/to/current/dir/~/.pywikibot2' does not exist.
(that path.decode('ascii') looks defective too)

--- Comment #1 from Mpaa mpaa.wiki@gmail.com --- Now ~ in argument is resolved. The exception is raised because the directory does not exist. But I think this is the wanted behaviour (*).
python pwb.py version -dir:~/.pywikibot2 NOTE: 'user-config.py' was not found! Please follow the prompts to create it: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 162, in <module> []) File "pwb.py", line 75, in run_python_file exec(compile(source, filename, "exec"), main_mod.__dict__) File "generate_user_files.py", line 19, in <module> import pywikibot File "pywikibot/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> from pywikibot import config2 as config File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 224, in <module> _base_dir = get_base_dir() File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 210, in get_base_dir raise RuntimeError("Directory '%s' does not exist." % base_dir) RuntimeError: Directory '/home/user/.pywikibot2' does not exist.
Note that in you example, it also fails even if the directory exists as -dir: comes before the expected script name.
python pwb.py -dir:~/.pywikibot version Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 166, in <module> if len(sys.argv) > 1: OSError: -dir:~/.pywikibot.py not found! <type 'exceptions.OSError'>
But if you put it in the expected order, which I guess is the wanted behaviour (**), then this is OK:
python pwb.py version -dir:~/.pywikibot Pywikibot: [ssh] pywikibot-core.git (182616b, g4347, 2014/10/20, 19:36:09, OUTDATED) ... Python: 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:38) [GCC 4.8.2] unicode test: ok
I think this bug can be closed unless (*) and (**) are not as we would like this to work.

--- Comment #2 from Fabian CommodoreFabianus@gmx.de --- (In reply to Mpaa from comment #1)
Note that in you example, it also fails even if the directory exists as -dir: comes before the expected script name.
python pwb.py -dir:~/.pywikibot version Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 166, in <module> if len(sys.argv) > 1: OSError: -dir:~/.pywikibot.py not found! <type 'exceptions.OSError'>
This is 'intentional'. The first parameter after 'pwb.py' MUST be the script you want to execute. Similar to how 'commit' must be directly after 'git' but '--amend' and '-a' after that can be swapped as you like.

--- Comment #3 from Mpaa mpaa.wiki@gmail.com --- Then, as I said, this can be closed.
