[jcvs] jCVS newbie

[John Edwards <jcedwards_99@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm just experimenting with jCVS. I've changed the
tempDir and localRootDir settings in gjt-common.js and
tried running the javascript files on Win2000 using
the following syntax:

java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main gjt-co.js

..but I get js: Internal error: type conversion of
org.mozilla.javascript.NativeJavaObject to assign
topublic com.ice.cvsc.CVSResponseHandler
com.ice.cvsc.CVSRequest.responseHandler on
com.ice.cvsc.CVSRequest failed.

When I tried running the script on Linux I got a bit
further. It seems to do the checkout ok but then it
throws the following exception:

Opening server '2401@cvs.gjt.org'...
Authenticating 'anoncvs@cvs.gjt.org'...

You can see from the stacktrace that it looks like it
blows up in the processCVSResponse method. I looked at
the source and it seems that getRootDirectorySpec() is
being called at line 3524. Is this a problem with the
localRootDir setting? I don't get it. I've got rw
permissions for the directory that I've set
localRootDir to. Can anyone help?

Thanks,


John.
