Ruby script with cvs invocations on Win

hi all,

i seem to have stepped over one more of the many windows problems:

situation: windows 2000, cygwin bash, “cvs login” succeeds, then: ruby
script invokes “cvs” via system or backquotes.

result: authentication error.

but: when i do invoke cvs from the cygwin bash, i can retrieve versions,
logs etc. - in other words - login succeeds.

did anybody else experience this? any solutions? or at least ideas?

thanks a lot!

robert

ps: thanks for not asking me to switch to linux or other unixes… :slight_smile:

Sorry, I have no more ideas, just can suggest checking which cvs
is invoked in each cases, and CVSROOT variable.


Nobu Nakada

thanks anyway!
