S/R push error

[Snoh Rrum]

Attempting the 1st Send/Receive since upgrading to FLex 8.2.4, the S/R failed, giving the following message:

   Warning: Could not send to E:\Kwomtari

   abort: push creates new remote head 50dbc7c81fc4!

   (merge or see "hg help push" for details about pushing new heads)

   hg Command was

   push --new-branch "E:\Kwomtari"

   hg version is: Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 3.3)

   (see http://mercurial.selenic.com for more information)

Searching for "hg help push", and "push new head" returned zero results on the mercurial site (which by the way lists 11 updates after 3.3, but does not list 3.3).

Strangely, attempting a ParaTExt S/R to the same USB drive, the one we've been using for both FLex & PT all along, also failed:

   The selected drive has not been configured for a Send/Receive.

   Open the 'File > Send/Receive Projects' dialog, select projects to
   Send/Receive and click the Send/Receive button.

We have not had S/R issues for several years (since FW 7.2.6 in 2012), so I'm really wondering what is happening here?

Are you doing a full project S/R with FLEx, or the lexicon S/R? I ask, because FLEx 7.2.6 had no full project S/R capability.  It could only do the lexicon S/R. Full FLEx project S/R only started in its 8.x series. Which version of FLEx did you most recently upgrade from?

As far as newer versions of Mercurial.... That is likely true. But, we do not attempt to keep current with the newest version of Mercurial. We upgrade only when there are desirable features we want in the newer version. For instance, we jumped from an antique 1.something version of Mercurial to 3.3 in this upgrade, skipping the entire 2.x series altogether.

Paratext and FLEx both use Mercurial for their respective S/R systems, but each uses Mercurial quite differently.

We upgraded from FLex 8.2.3

I should have, and normally would have, been doing a full project S/R, but now that I look at the drop down menu, I wonder if I had mistakenly clicked S/R Lexicon.

So I decided to just try the proper S/R project, but noticed the Check for Flexbridge updates item, so I clicked that, and did download the 2.3.10.0 update. However, that crashed. Now if I attempt S/R project, FLex freezes and I have to End Task. I also noticed the 8.2.5 release after my original post, which says it fixes a S/R problem.

So, do I install 8.2.5 and hope it resolves everything?

I'll send in the Problem Report, but here is the Windows 8.1 crash report:

All this less than a week before we go to our helicopter allocation!

Thank you for all your responses on this list, and for this one in particular.

FLEx Bridge supports doing both, and it will keep both separated. Each would need its own proejct on Language Depot, but it looked like your issue was with a USB drive.

FLEx 8.2.5 will fix the bugs listed here, but the S/R fix is for Linux, not Windows.

Please contact me offlist, and we'll try to identify the problem. Besides contacting me by email, you can try me on Skype (regnrand).
