Path 6303924 does not match a valid Perforce path.

[Darshan MAnge]

Hi All,

I am facing the below issue while running below command

input :

rbt post -d 6389924

output:

the issue it pops is : rbtools.clients.errors.SCMError: Path 6303924 does not match a valid Perforce path.

My Findings:

1. It is not able to return state of the changelist and thereby making whole revisions variable NONE

File perforce.py

def _get_changelist_status(self, changelist):

        ...

        if changelist == self.REVISION_DEFAULT_CLN:

            return 'pending'

        else:

            change = self.p4.change(changelist)

            if len(change) == 1 and 'Status' in change[0]:

                return change[0]['Status']

        return None

2. return change[0]['Status'] in this line it is not able to find Status key inside the change object

output of line : change = self.p4.change(changelist) is 

{b'code': b'stat', b'Change': b'6303924', b'Date': b'2018/07/09 17:22:22', b'Client': b'dmange-cmd-vapi', ..., }

3. I guess while decoding it using marshal in below line, it is somehow not able to convert it to dictionary. 

line 283 : data = marshal.load(p.stdout)

Please let me know if anyone can help me resolving this issue, i changed marshal to json and pickle, an another form of decoder, but still i was not able to solve the issue. 

Thanks and Regards,

Darshan Mange

Hi Darshan,

I am running into the exact same issue and cannot post reviews using rbt. Did you find a resolution to this issue?

Thanks,

Harsh

In  ~/.reviewboardrc add:

    REPOSITORY_TYPE = "perforce"

Got me past this error.

I already have it in my ~/.reviewboardrc file

For anyone who might find this thread for the issue.

I resolved it by modifying the /usr/bin/rbt script to use python 2.7 instead of python 3.6 since I have both installed and rbt script was using python 3.6.

Patch:

1c1

< #!/usr/bin/python3.6

> #!/usr/bin/python

Anyone have better answer for this question. I have python 3.6 in my setup as default still I get same error

Hi Rajan,

I can take a look, though I'll need to see some more details. Can you run as `rbt post --debug <your ID>` and show the results of that?

Also, are you an administrator on the server? It might be important to get some logs.

Thanks,

Christian

One more note is: 

I use two development machines where both are configured with P4V and same workspace I use in both machines. 

Thanks

Would you be able to try upgrading RBTools? 0.7.5 is almost 8 years old now, and virtually all relevant code has been rewritten a couple of times since. The latest version is 4.0.

I'm hoping the new code will do what you need it to do, and if it doesn't, we'll be in a better position to diagnose and fix it.
