Bazaar

Created a branch on launchpad.net but bzr saids 'Not a branch'

Asked by NawaMan

Hi there,
    I am a svn user just begin using launchpad and bazaar. I created and currently maintaining a project called "GnomeEasyBackup" here on launchpad.net. I recently want to add a feature so I create a branch, linked it to a blueprint (created earlier) and try to checkout "bzr branch lp:~nawaman/gnomeeasybackup/wait-or-skip-as-config-entry". However, Bazaar returns 'bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>/~nawaman/gnomeeasybackup/wait-or-skip-as-config-entry/".'.

I can see my newly created branch here: https://code.launchpad.net/~nawaman/gnomeeasybackup/wait-or-skip-as-config-entry so I am pretty sure it was successfully created. Since I cannot checkout, cannot edit to code and commit it, can I? What did i do wrong? and What should I do now?

Thanks in advance.

You didn't say how you created that https://code.launchpad.net/~nawaman/gnomeeasybackup/wait-or-skip-as-config-entry branch, but if you click that link in a browser, you'll see, near the end of the page:

"
Recent revisions

This branch has not been pushed to yet.
"

which suggests that the branch is empty, i.e. you never put anything into it.

https://code.edge.launchpad.net/gnomeeasybackup/+branches

also summarizes that.

You may want to create your branch from your 'trunk' working tree by:

   bzr push lp:~nawaman/gnomeeasybackup/wait-or-skip-as-config-entry

instead.

Or better, create that branch locally before pushing it to lp once you're happy with your local work.

Thousand Thanks for the reply. I've just realize that it is a two-step action to create a branch.
