Bazaar

When I try to commit I get "ERROR: No such file"

Asked by Owen L

The message I get when I try to Commit (using Bazaar Explorer):
Committing to: Z:/data/bzrdb/kc/main/
added kc/misc/agent_design.txt
modified kc/misc/kc_notes.txt
modified kc/misc/kc_xxx.txt
bzr: ERROR: No such file: u'Z:/data/bzrdb/kc/.bzr/repository/indices/e89b6a9275ea7899c2cc6ef3d16b0f7f.rix': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'Z:/data/bzrdb/kc/.bzr/repository/indices/e89b6a9275ea7899c2cc6ef3d16b0f7f.rix'

It is true that that file does not exist. In fact the indices directory is empty. However there is a .pack file with that name in the packs directory. I don't know what happened that made it get in a bad state. I am pretty new to using Bazaar. I have probably only done about 20 commits after setting up this repository. But those all seemed to work fine.

My main question is: How can I recover from this? Or will I be forced to delete it and start over?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

I figured out how to recreate my remote branch. I realized that my local branch was its own complete copy (at least the way I had set it up), so I deleted the broken remote branch and pushed my local branch to it. The only reason I didn't figure this out before is that I'm so new to Bazaar and used to working with Perforce where the branches reside only on the server. And I was thinking of my remote branch like it was the server.

I still don't know how my remote branch got corrupted. But I feel confidant that if it happens again, I can easily recreate it.

Specifically, this is what I did, where my remote branch is on Z: and my local branch is on C::
<delete Z:\data\bzrdb\kc>
bzr init-repo --no-trees Z:\data\bzrdb\kc
bzr init Z:\data\bzrdb\kc\main
bzr push -d C:\dev\kc\main --overwrite --no-strict Z:\data\bzrdb\kc\main

I'm glad you're working ok. The missing index files are a concern, if
you have any ideas about what might have happened we'd like to hear
them.

Cheers,
Rob
