Hi,
Below is the mail I sent to John Barbee:
Hi John,
When working I am trying to get a directory object and go over all of its sub directories.
I found out that when I am asking for the name of the subdir object, I get an error message.
The error message is:
Can't call method "extension" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/CVS/File.pm line 231 (#1
+)
(F) You used the syntax of a method call, but the slot filled by t
+he
object reference or package name contains an undefined value. Som
+ething
like this will reproduce the error:
Looking on the subdir object I saw its rcsconfig object is undef.
Looking in sub load in Apache::CVS::Directory I saw the following:
foreach my $path ( @directories ) {
$self->push('directory',
Apache::CVS::Directory->new($self->path() . "/$pat
+h"));
}
And:
foreach my $path ( @files ) {
if ( $path =~ /,v$/ ) {
$self->push('file',
Apache::CVS::File->new($self->path() . "/$path
+",
$self->rcs_confi
+g()));
} else {
$self->push('plain_file',
Apache::CVS::PlainFile->new($self->path() . "/
+$path"));
}
}
The bottom line is - just by fixing the directory object creation to work like the file creation by sending the $self->rcsconfig object it seems I fixed the problem.
Is it a bug ?
Maybe you did this for a reason, and I harm something else by fixing it like that ?
If it is a bug, and this is a good fix, how do we proceed to release a new version ?
Thanks,
And I will appriciate a quick response,
shushu

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
