That's possible. But can you do me a favor and try it with an older version of ZSyncer, e.g. 0.4.6 or even older? If that works then I know it's a problem in zsyncer. I believe Andy ran zsyncer on windows, so it used to work.
The same error is returned with ZSyncer 0.4.6.
good to know.
Also, please let me know a bit more about the objects you are trying to compare. What exactly were you doing? Does this error happen on all comparisons?
The error appears after clicking the sync tab in a given folder. The objects we're comparing are DTML Methods, DTML Documents, Images, Folders, Page Templates, and Scripts. In ZSyncer 0.4.6, the error is returned only when a folder on the source is not present on the destination.
Hold on - that doesn't *ever* work. I've never seen the xml error you get, but if you're in a folder that doesn't exist on the destination, you'll always get *some* kind of error. I don't know why you get a different one.
The comparison and sync operations work fine when the folder's id and tree location is identical on the source and destination. With ZSyncer 0.5.0-pre10, the "illegal data at start of file" error is returned if a folder on the source is not present on the destination. If a folder's id and tree location is identical between the source and destination, the following error is returned (using ZSyncer 0.5.0-pre10)..
* Oh fooey. NameError * name 'mode' is not defined
Hmm. Do you have the same version of ZSyncer installed on both the source and destination? If so, I'll see if I can reproduce this.
Are both Zopes running on windows?
Yes. Both are running Win2K Server. I would love to switch to Linux or Mac OS X, but our sysadmins won't have it.
ok, i can get at a w2k box for testing. i'll see if I can reproduce. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's PICO-CAPTAIN X! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
