bzr ignored does not show subdirectories

Hi teson,

This could be a bug thats been fixed in newer bzr versions. I was not able to reproduce it with bzr 2.0, 2.1 and trunk.
Bazaar 1.3.x is _really_ old. bzr 2.x series is much more efficient in terms of speed, memory and disk usage and a whole lot of bug fixes since 1.3 :).
You could consider upgrading using the bzr ppas at:

https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/ppa

[xyz]% mkdir -p p/q/r
[xyz]% bzr ignore ./p/q/r
[xyz]% bzr st
added:
  .bzrignore
unknown:
  p/
[xyz]% bzr add p
adding p
adding p/q
[xyz]% bzr ci -m "initial"
Committing to: /home/parthm/tmp/xyz/
added .bzrignore
added p
added p/q
Committed revision 1.
[xyz]% bzr ignored
p/q/r ./p/q/r
[xyz]% ~/src/bzr.dev/2.1/bzr ignored
p/q/r ./p/q/r
[xyz]% ~/src/bzr.dev/2.0/bzr ignored
p/q/r ./p/q/r
[xyz]%

Hi Parth and thanks for fast reply!

I've upgraded to 2.1.1, (removed old .bzr-dir, bzr init) and still not functional as it seems;

# cat .bzrignore
./sqlcache
./tmp
./public/pp_public/pngtext
(all directories exists and no symb-links)

# bzr ignored
sqlcache ./sqlcache
tmp ./tmp

# bzr ls --ignored
sqlcache/
tmp/

Adding additional dirs at top-level works fine, any directory or file not under top fails.

The issue is persistant,
./sqlcache (ok)
./tmp (ok)
./public/pp_public/pngtext (fail)
./public/.DS_Store (fail)
./public/ign (fail)
./var (ok)
./public/_admin.php (fail)

Is bzr written in perl? I'm running 5.8.8, no upgrade notification from default 8.04 repostory however.

Hi teson,

Thats weird. Could you try the following script and post the results.

--------8<--------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
bzr init a1234
cd a1234
mkdir -p p/q/r
bzr ignore ./p/q/r
bzr st
bzr add p
bzr ci -m "initial"
echo "###### bzr ignored #####"
bzr ignored
------------------------>8-----------------------

Here is the output I see.

[tmp]% sh -e ig_test.sh
Created a standalone tree (format: 2a)
added:
  .bzrignore
unknown:
  p/
adding p
adding p/q
Committing to: /home/parthm/tmp/a1234/
added .bzrignore
added p
added p/q
Committed revision 1.
###### bzr ignored #####
p/q/r ./p/q/r
[tmp]%

bzr is written in Python and should work correctly with Python 2.4 and above. "bzr version" command gives the details of bzr version and also the python version. Could you please post that also.

Regards,
Parth

Thanks again, Paul,

your script works fine over here and now I finally get it,

toplevel-directories are shown immidiately on bzr ignored,
subdirs not until commit. :-|

With ~30 MB of autogenerated (non neccesary) content,
I hesitated commiting the inital branch, silly me...

Any way, Thanks for all your help!

Best regards,

//teson

correction to last post,

not commit,
# bzr add .

If a file is already added, it won't be ignored. It is possible that you
added the subdir before you tried to ignore it.

Good Evening Parth, (+1 GMT in Sweden)
For me it still doesn't make sense, with some modification,
here's a simulation of this visual bug or "feature".

#!/bin/sh
rm -rf a1234
mkdir a1234
cd a1234
bzr init
mkdir -p p/q/r
mkdir -p s/t
bzr ignore ./p/q/r
bzr ignore ./s
echo "###### bzr ignored #####"
bzr ignored
echo "only outputs ./s as ignored"
bzr add .
echo "adding p, adding p/q"
bzr ignored
echo "finally as expected"

Feel free to post is as a bug if appropriate,

May the Force be with you, John, :-)

Thanks, that clarifies it nicely.

At the moment where you first run 'bzr ignored', p is an unversioned
and unknown directory. Running 'bzr st' would tell you about this.
bzr never descends into unversioned directories therefore it won't
tell you about ignored files within them. In other words, 'bzr
ignored' tells you about ignored entries within versioned directories.
 I can see that it might be useful to at least optionally tell you
about ignored files in unversioned directories, to give you an idea of
what will be added. You can create a wishlist bug if you want.

Note that we do have 'add --dry-run'. Maybe thats not enough.
