# HG changeset patch # User Adam Simpkins # Date 1498501890 25200 # Node ID 6fdc1518983ed9ed94f83f803bb787adaf92c11b # Parent 247bae545061374a683d8d9369a4869aa6ae4537 setup: fail if we cannot determine the version number If running hg fails, exit the setup script unsuccessfully, rather than proceeding to use a bogus version of "+0-". Using an invalid version number causes various tests to fail later. Failing early makes it easier to identify the source of the problem. It is currently easy for setup.py to fail this way since it sets HGRCPTH to the empty string before running "hg", which may often disable extensions necessary to interact with the local repository. diff -r 247bae545061 -r 6fdc1518983e setup.py --- a/setup.py Tue Jun 27 23:50:22 2017 +0900 +++ b/setup.py Mon Jun 26 11:31:30 2017 -0700 @@ -184,6 +184,12 @@ cmd = [sys.executable, 'hg', 'log', '-r', '.', '--template', '{tags}\n'] numerictags = [t for t in runhg(cmd, env).split() if t[0:1].isdigit()] hgid = runhg([sys.executable, 'hg', 'id', '-i'], env).strip() + if not hgid: + # Bail out if hg is having problems interacting with this repository, + # rather than falling through and producing a bogus version number. + # Continuing with an invalid version number will break extensions + # that define minimumhgversion. + raise SystemExit('Unable to determine hg version from local repository') if numerictags: # tag(s) found version = numerictags[-1] if hgid.endswith('+'): # propagate the dirty status to the tag
