conan install -u traceback

[RobertHabrich]

When running conan install -u while no previous conan install was run (so e.g. no conan conanbuildinfo.cmake exists) I get the following traceback:

I can't reproduce the error. Do you have a conanfile.py? conanfile.txt? Windows right?

[RobertHabrich]

It's Windows, yes. Conan version is 0.10.1. I have a simple repo with a simple conanfile.txt like this:

[requires]
googlemock/1.7.0@image/stable
Qt/5.7.0@image/stable

[generators]
cmake

[imports]
bin, *.dll -> ./bin # Copies all dll files from the package "bin" folder to my project "bin" folder

When I create a new folder and run conan install -u {SOURCE_DIR} I always get the shown traceback.

Actually, the Qt / short_paths.conf might be the culprit. I have tried with a different repository that does not have a Qt dependency (and thus, does not use short_paths.conf) and it is working properly.

Have you modified the short_paths.conf? Could you paste here?

[RobertHabrich]

There is one entry in my short_paths.conf for the Qt package:

Qt/5.7.0@image/stable: C:/Qt/5.7.0/image/stable

I get it. I've opened a PR #391 solving it, It will be fixed in next release

I am also preparing a new (hopefully better) solution for the short paths limit, #392

[RobertHabrich]

Nice to hear. Let me know in case I can help with testing.
