Sapling operations abort when trying to access updated submodule
murtlatif opened this issue · comments
I have a project structure that looks like this:
my_project/
├─ my_submodule/
├─ other_code/
Where my_submodule
is a submodule pointing to another one of my own repositories. Note that my_submodule
is a renamed submodule, so the actual repository name is my_real_submodule
, and I've aliased it as my_submodule
when I initialized it.
When I update and push my_submodule
, I see that the folder has changed in sl status
:
$ sl status
M my_submodule
However, if I try to do anything that requires reading the actual contents of the "file" (since it's treated as a file IIUC), then sapling fails.
$ sl commit
abort: C:\path\to\submodule: Access is denied
$ sl diff
abort: C:\path\to\submodule: Access is denied
Trying to view changes on ISL (though, I am not surprised this one errors):
The editor could not be opened due to an unexpected error: Unable to read file 'C:\path\to\submodule' (Error: Unable to read file 'C:\path\to\submodule' that is actually a directory)
I assume that the change for this submodule is updating the hash that the directory is pointing to in the submodule repo. The issue is that I want to be able to commit this change but I cannot commit it since the sapling operations abort when trying to work with the submodule change. I can revert the change, but it will point the submodule back to an older hash which I do not want.
Sapling version: Sapling 0.2.20230523-092610+f12b7eee
OS: Windows
