Problems using tramp with emacs 26 on windows 10

Problems using tramp with emacs 26 on windows 10

[Steinar Bang]

I've just switched from using emacs 25.3 to emacs 26, and my tramp setup
stopped working.

I have the following setting:
;; tramp settings
(when windows-emacs
  (require 'tramp)
  (setenv "PATH" (concat "C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY;" (getenv "PATH")))
  (setq tramp-default-method "plink"))

When I try accessing a tramp directory, eg. like this:
 C-x d /myuser@mycomputer.mydomain.com: RET

I get the following response:
  d:/:
  d:/wildcard myuser@mycomputer.mydomain.com:
  (No match)
  total used in directory 0 available 29362780

My home directory is on the D: drive while emacs has been installed on
the C: drive.


Does anyone know what might cause this?

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Isn't this what NEWS is talking about?

  ** Tramp

  *** The method part of remote file names is mandatory now.
  A valid remote file name starts with "/method:host:" or
  "/method:user@host:".

  *** The new pseudo method "-" is a marker for the default method.
  "/-::" is the shortest remote file name then.
