verifymsg issue : doesnt show the message

[Aruneesh Salhotra]

I am trying to verify if the log message, has a valid bug number.

Format is MV-XXX where XXX are digits.
I am performing checkins, and I get
"
The server reported an error while performing the "cvs commit" command.
buildlab_new: cvs [commit aborted]: Message verification failed
"


My verifymsg uses the following script.

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $numArgs = $#ARGV + 1;

my $result = `cat $ARGV[0] | grep '[M][V][-][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*' | wc -l`;
if ($result > 0)
{
exit(0);
}
else
{
print "no valid comment. It does not include a correct bugID which is of the form MV-XYZ where XYZ are number digits";
exit(-11);
}

Aruneesh,
While this question pertains to CVS, I think it is more of a UNIX question.

It boils down to what the following command returns.
cat $ARGV[0] | grep '[M][V][-][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*' | wc -l

Try echoing "cat $ARGV[0]" and then running the command with that String. Then you can start deleting things from the grep statement to see what stops making it return. For example, grep 'test'

I found the issue. The problem is with how Eclipse shows the message. It is not showing the correct message.

Using command line from any box, it works fine, and I get to see the error (warning message) as intended.

I think it would be answered by someone using CVS and Eclipse.

Aruneesh,
Now I understand. You are asking how to send a message from the CVS client to Eclipse. I know a couple people who have tried to do that with no success. I'll be watching this thread to see who else knows!
