Sync failed

[aldidas]

I'm new to vim (actually MacVim). Got an error while trying to sync local to remote server :

:!$HOME/.vim/bundle/vim-syncr/sync_loc_rem_file /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/username/Sites/localweb/wp-content/themes/themename/.syncrconf /var/www/sitename/public_html/wp-con
tent/themes/themename/.syncrconf sshusername xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx true
/bin/bash: /Volumes/Macintosh: No such file or directory

shell returned 127 

Is it because my local file location containing space? If so, are there any workaround?

Thanks.

Hi @aldidas,

The space is the problem I think, but for the moment I'm not using a setup where I can test a fix. If you can, try changing line 70 in plugin/syncr.vim from:

let conf['localpath'] = expand('%:p')

to

let conf['localpath'] = '\"' . expand('%:p') . '\"'

in your copy of the package. If that works, let me know and I can make the change or can take a pull request. If it doesn't work, then I will try to get to setting up a test environment and look for a solution.

Thanks.

Hi @jacob-ogre,
Thanks for your response. This is my latest code in syncr.vim :

    if strlen(l:foundconfig) > 0
        let options = readfile(l:foundconfig)
        for i in options
            let vname = substitute(i[0:stridx(i, ' ')], 
                        \'^\s*\(.\{-}\)\s*$', '\1', '')
            let vvalue = substitute(i[stridx(i, ' '):], 
                        \'^\s*\(.\{-}\)\s*$', '\1', '')
            let conf[vname] = vvalue
        endfor

        let conf['local'] = fnamemodify(l:foundconfig, ':h:p') . '/'
        "let conf['localpath'] = expand('%:p')
        let conf['localpath'] = '\"' . expand('%:p') . '\"'
    let conf['remotepath'] = conf['remote'] . 
                    \conf['localpath'][strlen(conf['local']):]
    endif

Unfortunately sync process still didn't work as intended. Here are the output :

:!$HOME/.vim/bundle/vim-syncr/sync_loc_rem_file \"/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/username/Sites/localweb/wp-content/themes/themename/file.php\" /var/www/sitename/public_html/wp-content/themes/themename/s/file.php\" belalaiemas xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx true
/bin/bash: /Volumes/Macintosh: No such file or directory

shell returned 127    

Please notice there is a "/s" between "themename" and "/file.php" in remote file path.

Hi @aldidas,

Interesting...I thought the double-quote would need to be escaped, but evidently not. Plus the re-use of conf['localpath'] in conf['remotepath'] is doing bad things. Try changing:

        let conf['localpath'] = '\"' . expand('%:p') . '\"'
        let conf['remotepath'] = conf['remote'] . 
                    \conf['localpath'][strlen(conf['local']):]

to

        let conf['localpath'] = '"' . expand('%:p') . '"'
        let conf['remotepath'] = conf['remote'] . 
                    \expand('%:p')[strlen(conf['local']):]

If that doesn't work, send the output again and we'll see if we can get it figured out. Sorry I don't have the environment to test and fix the bug...

Still failed. Here is my code :

    if strlen(l:foundconfig) > 0
        let options = readfile(l:foundconfig)
        for i in options
            let vname = substitute(i[0:stridx(i, ' ')], 
                        \'^\s*\(.\{-}\)\s*$', '\1', '')
            let vvalue = substitute(i[stridx(i, ' '):], 
                        \'^\s*\(.\{-}\)\s*$', '\1', '')
            let conf[vname] = vvalue
        endfor

        let conf['local'] = fnamemodify(l:foundconfig, ':h:p') . '/'
        let conf['localpath'] = '"' . expand('%:p') . '"'
    let conf['remotepath'] = conf['remote'] . 
        \expand('%:p')[strlen(conf['local']):]
    endif

And here is the output :

:!$HOME/.vim/bundle/vim-syncr/sync_loc_rem_file "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/username/Sites/localweb/wp-content/themes/themename/file.
php" /var/www/sitename/public_html/wp-content/themes/themename/file.php sshusername xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx true
/bin/bash: /Volumes/Macintosh: No such file or directory

shell returned 127  

It seems the local path is correctly surrounded by quote, but somewhere in the code the space causing another trouble. I think this link is related to this issue. Or maybe this link for the space issue with rsync.

[jacob-ogre]

Well that's unfortunate. Per the scp link you might next try putting quotes around the $1 at line 24 in the file 'sync_loc_rem_file'. Another option would be to have the vimscript escape any spaces in the file path, but I'm rusty enough on my vimscript that I don't know how to do that off the top of my head. Let me know if that works...
