Hello,

I'm using Emacs 26.3 with TRAMP 2.4.3.5 and adb 7.1.2_r36 [1], all
installed via Guix on a foreign distro (Debian 10).

I still do not undestand if what follows is a TRAMP bug or something
related to my environment.

I've sent a message to help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org [2] but I'm asking here in
case anyone in this list is/was able to browse an Android filesystem via
TRAMP+adb.

I'm trying to use adb via tramp (I'd love to be able to browse my phone
filesystem in Emacs) for the first time and I get a strange dired
buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

  /adb::/storage:
  total 13
  drwxr-xr-x  1 root root          80 05-31 13:04 [1;34m.[0m
  drwxr-xr-x  1 root root          4k 2009-01-01  [1;34m..[0m
  drwx--x--x  1 root sdcard_rw     4k 05-31 13:04 [1;34memulated[0m
  drwxr-xr-x  1 root root          60 05-31 13:03 [1;34mself[0m
  drwxr-xr-x  1 root root          80 05-31 13:04 [1;34m/storage/.[0m
  drwxr-xr-x  1 root root          4k 2009-01-01  [1;34m/storage/..[0m

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I try to "dired-visit" any of the listed dirs I get this in the
*Messages* buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

dired-get-file-for-visit: File no longer exists; type ‘g’ to update Dired buffer

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm able to use "adb shell" in a shell buffer under Emacs, this is the
result:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

jflte:/storage # ls -lah
ls -lah
total 6.0K
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root        80 2020-05-31 13:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root      4.0K 2009-01-01 01:00 ..
drwx--x--x  3 root sdcard_rw 4.0K 2020-05-31 13:04 emulated
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root        60 2020-05-31 13:03 self
jflte:/storage # 

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and I can "navigate" all my folders via adb shell (in root mode).

Do you have any idea why I get all that escape sequences?

Thanks! Gio'



[1] but I have the same results using adb 8.1.0+r23-5 version from
Debian stable
