UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock

Based on the traceback the error coming from bzrlib. The lines in qbzr codebase those trigger error basically are:

        self._lock = LockDir(transport, 'lock')
        ...
        self._lock.lock_write()

It's possibly we're using lockdir incorrectly, but I don't see why.

Based on the traceback, bzr fail to report a LockContention, which, for saving a configuration file is pretty weird.

There is a genuine bug in bzr as we try to use lock_url before it's set under ...unclear circumstances.

But there seems to also be a bug in qbzr around the config file saving or at least an already pending lock that shouldn't exist no ?

A reproducing recipe would help all parties involved there...

I'm a bazaar newbie. Is there any logging that can be enabled or generated files that would be useful? I have attached a zip of the screen shots leading to the error in Bazaar Explorer. What additional information is required for a recipe?

The code in qbzr is related to our own config handling wheel.

Indeed. And we need to see the content of you bazaar/2.0 directory

I get the same error message, "bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' referenced before assignment", but when trying to run Pull from Bazaar Explorer, not when saving configuration. Full text:

which directory is this? I don't have a dir of that name under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bazaar"

Here's the content of the directory found under C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data

I get same error on a fresh install with window 7 just changing the username and email address.

As jam notes in https://code.launchpad.net/~mbp/bzr/733136-lock_url/+merge/55682 this probably means qbzr is doing something strange, like perhaps trying to update the config from one process while another one holds it open. The fix in bzr should make the error more obvious.

For people still hitting this, looking at the 'info' files inside the lock, and patching the process id in there to their command lines will help.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I find and apply the "Fix Released"?

and in the meantime how do I "patch the process id to the command line"? I have no files named "*info*" in my branch.

thanks!

If you are hitting this, it means there is a lock file currently held.
Which should be somewhere like ~/.bazaar/lock/held/info

The fix Martin made is both in the 2.3 series and in trunk. You can
install the bzr-2.4beta daily from the ppa:
  https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/daily

I believe 2.3 with the fix is scheduled to be packaged in a week or so.

thanks John. I did install the 2.4 beta (bzr-2.4b1-setup.exe) and there is no change in behaviour.
there is a lock directory at `%appdata%\bazaar\2.0\lock` but it is empty. I kept that dir open in Windows Explorer as I ran 'bzr pull' to see if a file showed briefly during execution, but no.

Hi Matt,

This fix was merged after 2.4b1, so you would need to either get a copy of trunk using "bzr branch lp:bzr" or wait for the next Windows beta build.

Accepted bzr into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hello Ray, or anyone else affected,

Accepted bzr into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Verified by running the bzr testsuite from the package in a clean natty install.

This bug was fixed in the package bzr - 2.3.4-0ubuntu1
