Q: How do I configure working dir for patch creation using Mercurial?

Here is the message I get (with proprietary info removed):

Patch is broken, can be found in file: F:\Agent\temp\cache\temp2623056066648981161patch_11

...

Failed to build patch for build #11 {build id=11}, VCS root: mercurial: http://codeserver/hg/1.2 {id=1}, due to error: 'cmd /c hg update -C default' command failed. stderr: abort: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\temp\mercurial91394062173208465222de4b6aad002\rep\really_long_path: The filename or extension is too long
-----

I am running TC 6.0.3 in a stand alone Tomcat 6.0.32 app server.

I was able to configure the agent's temp path. It's still too long, but it may work.

Here is my C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context

docBase="f:/TeamCity/webapps/ROOT/"
path="/"
workDir="f:/Temp"

/>

-------

The workDir parameter parameter seems to be ignored.

Any help configuring the build server and agent's mercurial working directories would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter Stephens

Hi Peter

Temp and work directories have different purpose, so this is intended behavior.
I see two options

  1. Change location for Tomcat's temp folder
    In Tomcat service properties (tomcat6w.exe //ES//<InstanceName>) | Java tab | Java options | -Djava.io.tmpdir
  2. Switch to agent-side checkout
    Then the localtion can be configured in buildAgent.properties file


I've filed TW-16903 request, to handle such situations better in future versions.
