tramp mode not working on OSX with dev HEAD

tramp mode not working on OSX with dev HEAD

[Randal L. Schwartz]

I'm using /scp: mode (the default) with Tramp trying to connect from my box to
both an OpenSolaris box and a FreeBSD box.  I can get directory listings, but
when I try to get a specific file, I get a process buffer that shows that my
scp has exited abnormally with code 255.  Is there something I can do to get
more diagnostic info, or is this a known problem and being worked on?

Start a fresh Emacs via "emacs -Q". Eval (setq tramp-verbose 8)

The resulting buffer *debug tramp/scp user@host* shall give the required
information.

Best regards, Michael.

The traces do not look complete. Did you start a fresh Emacs, and did
you copy all traces? I need traces from a clean Tramp run!

This is an indication, that the traces do not start from the
beginning. Tramp reads from its cache.

Oops, what's that? When Tramp calls *locally* "/bin/sh", this shouldn't
happen. And "#$" looks like a prompt from a previous run.

Again, I cannot analyze these traces. Please start a fresh "emacs -Q",
as I have said last email.

Sorry..  I did a few things that worked (finding a directory works).
I then truncated the logs, and failed on finding a file that was there.

I've redone it with just
(setq tramp-verbose 8)
(find-file "/insightcruises.com:NOW")

and uploaded the resulting file (too large for email) to

  http://www.stonehenge.com/pic/TRAMP-DEBUG-LOG

Sorry for the earlier mis-report.

No problem. The traces can be analyzed now. If you want to do it
yourself, check for the level (6) traces. These are the sent commands,
and their reply.

07:20:10.701231 tramp-send-command (6) # exec env ENV='' PROMPT_COMMAND='' PS1=\#\$\  PS2='' PS3='' /bin/sh
07:20:10.816572 tramp-wait-for-regexp (6) #
#$

On your remote host, /bin/sh has been opened. The next commands are
fine. Until here:

07:20:12.899867 tramp-send-command (6) # tramp_perl_file_name_all_completions () {
/usr/bin/perl -e 'sub case {
 my $str = shift;
 if ($ARGV[2]) {
  return lc($str);
 }
 else {
  return $str;
 }
}
opendir(d, $ARGV[0]) || die("$ARGV[0]: $!\nfail\n");
@files = readdir(d); closedir(d);
foreach $f (@files) {
 if (case(substr($f, 0, length($ARGV[1]))) eq case($ARGV[1])) {
  if (-d "$ARGV[0]/$f") {
   print "$f/\n";
  }
  else {
   print "$f\n";
  }
 }
}
print "ok\n"
' "$1" "$2" "$3" 2>/dev/null
} 2>/dev/null; echo tramp_exit_status $?

Tramp tries to declare a script in the shell.

07:20:13.748322 tramp-wait-for-regexp (1) # File error: Process has died

And there was an error; the shell died. It looks like your shell does
not like bourne-shell syntax.

Please check the following: Open a terminal on the remote host, and call
"/bin/sh". Then paste the following lines literally:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
tramp_perl_file_name_all_completions () {
/usr/bin/perl -e 'sub case {
 my $str = shift;
 if ($ARGV[2]) {
  return lc($str);
 }
 else {
  return $str;
 }
}
opendir(d, $ARGV[0]) || die("$ARGV[0]: $!\nfail\n");
@files = readdir(d); closedir(d);
foreach $f (@files) {
 if (case(substr($f, 0, length($ARGV[1]))) eq case($ARGV[1])) {
  if (-d "$ARGV[0]/$f") {
   print "$f/\n";
  }
  else {
   print "$f\n";
  }
 }
}
print "ok\n"
' "$1" "$2" "$3" 2>/dev/null
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

See, whether there is an error. If there is no error, test the script in
the shell:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
tramp_perl_file_name_all_completions /tmp
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That's it.

Best regards, Michael.

What can I try next?

Is it possible that a pty-based /bin/sh is acting differently
from a non-pty-based shell?

No... just tried that...

  ssh insightcruises.com /bin/sh
  (paste those two things)

And that worked as well.

Gaah.

What else can I do to help?  Unfortunately, I can't hand out accounts

New trace uploaded to same place http://www.stonehenge.com/pic/TRAMP-DEBUG-LOG

Thanks.

By the way, just to isolate operating system issues,
I tried the same thing from a FreeBSD source to the same OpenSolaris
box, and got the same error.

So this isn't an OSX problem, or a problem with HEAD, despite the
subject line.

This problem exists in Emacs 23.1.1 connecting to OpenSolaris, so
I updated the subject line.

Looks like there is still the same trace I did analyze already. Could
you, please, upload the new trace?

Interesting. There is already a patch in Tramp just because of
OpenSolaris. Search for "solaris" in tramp.el. Maybe we have found even
more.

Best regards, Michael.

As far as I can read the traces, Perl isn't involved (yet). The error
happens, when Tramp declares a shell function.

The problem was caching... my reverse-proxy caches files for a few hours.

Try again, or add a "2" on the end, which is a second copy. :)

Yeah, when I first chose OpenSolaris for this project, I went "oh goody,
real Unix again".  And now I've abandoned it in favor of FreeBSD, which
is real *modern* Unix. :)

That's OK now. However, there is nothing new, because the shell is still
called with "exec":

09:31:23.036109 tramp-send-command (6) # exec env ENV='' PROMPT_COMMAND='' PS1=\#\$\  PS2='' PS3='' /bin/sh

Did you apply the patch I've sent yesterday?

By the way, the "exec" in that line is unaffected by your patch,
which takes out the "exec" between PS3='' and /bin/sh (which you'll
notice is gone).

You're right, it was the wrong place. Sorry.

The following patch shall remove the right "exec":

Please test it, again. If Tramp goes into an infinite loop, kill it by
C-g. There is also another buffer *tramp/scp user@host*, which shall
show us the last message of the remote shell.

The suspicion of Andreas sounds promising; but before changing the code
I would like to see that problem.

Nope, I believe you. It does not go this way. Please revert the previous
patch.

Let's assume, the default shell in OpenSolaris is buggy. It's not the
first time, Tramp is confronted by this. Consequently, we shall use
another shell like bash, instead of applying several workarounds for
those bugs. The appended patch does exactly this. Note that I couldn't
test it with a remote OpenSolaris machine ...

Before you test this, you must call "M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections".
This flushes Tramp's caches, which is necessary.

No, that's not the same.  Tramp caches things (like remote OS versions and

In both traces, Tramp has read values from the cache. Example in
TRAMP-DEBUG-LOG5:

09:57:43.040036 tramp-get-connection-property (7) # remote-shell /bin/sh

OK, let's do it with a sledge-hammer approach:

- Close any Emacs session. It is important to do it first, because Tramp
  saves its cache when Emacs exits.

- Remove ~/.emacs.d/tramp (this is the saved cache).

- Start "emacs -Q", and run your test.

Best regards, Michael.

Yeay!  That works.  Your patch is good.

Now the next problem:

What's that? Eshell?

I need traces, as usual :-)

Thanks. There was indeed another error, not related to OpenSolaris, but
you have trapped it as the first one.

Appended is an updated patch, which shall fix your problems. When
confirmed by you, I will submit it to the emacs-23 branch.

Chong: is this OK? It is not a regression wrt Emacs 23.1. For Emacs 22.3
I don't know; Tramp 2.0 and 2.1 differ too much.

Best regards, Michael.

I think it is OK.

Installed in the emacs-23 branch. Is it automatically propagated to the
trunk, or shall I install it there manually?

Randal: if you still have problems with the patch, you could take it
from here.

Best regards, Michael.

Thanks.

> Is it automatically propagated to the trunk,

The emacs-23 branch will be occasionally merged back into trunk, so it's
not automatic, but it will happen.

> or shall I install it there manually?

No, please don't.  But you (or anyone else) can do the merge, if you
want to (I'll do it every once in a while anyway, so there's no real
need to):

  cd ...myemacs/trunk
  bzr merge sftp://..../emacs-23
  <resolve conflicts (e.g. in ChangeLogs)>
  bzr diff
  <check that it's indeed what you expected>
  bzr commit -m 'Merge bug fixes from emacs-23'

Of course, it should be done with extra care, since it's easy to make
a silly mistake and you might be merging changes written by other people.

Hmm, there are incompatibilities on the patch formats I guess ...

You might take a recent version of tramp.el from
<http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/tramp/lisp/tramp.el?revision=2.778&root=tramp>.

It is not exactly the version I have committed to the Emacs tree, but
for your test it might be sufficient.

Best regards, Michael.

Yeah, I got that, and it looks good.
