tramp/plink, No such directory found via CDPATH env variable

tramp/plink, No such directory found via CDPATH env variable

[jenia.ivlev]

I have problems using emacs/plink/tramp on a windows host with a GNU/Linux VM.

I first noticed the problem when editing a file on the client GNU/Linux
machine (from the Windows host, using tramp/plink): I started the
eshell, and did `cd <some folder>`, it told me `No such directory found
via CDPATH environment variable`.

I think the problem has to do with this variable `command-line-default-directory`. 
It should follow the directory where the buffer is opened at. 

Just to reiterate the problem, suppose I'm  in 
C://plink:<username>@<ip>:/home/asti/folder, I want to be able to type
`cd foldername` and not get the error `No such directory found via
CDPATH  environment variable`.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?


Thanks in advance for your kind help.
Jenia

What's this directory "C://plink:<username>@<ip>:/home/asti/folder"?
Shouldn't it be "/plink:<username>@<ip>:/home/asti/folder"?

Best regards, Michael.

PS: Please report your Emacs and Tramp versions you are running. If you
are running the built-in Tramp version, the Emacs version is sufficient.

Yes you are right, it is "/plink:<username>@<ip>:/home/asti/folder".

Sure, I'm using emacs 24.5.1 with the built-in version of tramp.

Thanks

In this case, please eval (setq tramp-verbose 6) prior running the test,
and run it again. There will be a Tramp debug buffer. Please show it here.
