- Change comment to "Problem only exists (for me) in Cygwin on Windows. I have vi installed in Cygwin, and `which' reports it to be: <verbatim> $ which vi /usr/bin/vi </verbatim> So, I manually set my fossil editor, using `fossil set editor /usr/bin/vi'. When I checkin, I get: <verbatim> $ fossil.exe ci Autosync: http://sentry:8080/ Bytes Cards Artifacts Deltas Send: 87 1 0 0 40The system cannot find the path specified. Received: 1794 40 0 0 /usr/bin/vi "C:/cygwin/home/User1/src/ci-comment-A97A91FD685A.txt" C:\cygwin\bin\fossil.exe: editor aborted </verbatim> The next to the last line seems to be the command that is `fork()'ed? If I copy and paste that line in, `vi' is launched with the normal checkin file, ("# Enter comments on this commit. Lines beginning with # are ignored"... etc) If I `fossil set editor notepad', notepad opens the file correctly. If I `fossil.exe set editor "C:\\Program\\ Files\\Vim\\vim70\\gvim.exe"', I get: <verbatim> $ fossil.exe ci Autosync: http://sentry:8080/ Bytes Cards Artifacts Deltas Send: 87 1 0 0 40'C:\Program\' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
