Re: Proposed patch - Better choice of default for gtags-visit-rootdir

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

It was reproduced. Sure, it is a bug.

Your fix will be included in the next version of GLOBAL.

Thank you for the report and code!

(reproduce procedure)

[Shell command line]

$ cp /dev/null main.c

$ ls 

main.c

$ emacs -f gtags-mode main.c

[Emacs mini buffer]

M-x gtags-visit-rootdir[ENTER]

v

Visit root directory: /tmp/test/[ENTER]

v

/tmp/test/main.c is not directory.      <= MYSTERIOUS ERROR

Hello,
Sorry but I don't understand what is problem.
Would you please tell me a method by example which reproduce
the situation of the problem?

The key to reproducing this problem is to start in a new directory tree
that is lacking GTAGS, GRTAGS and GPATH. The order of operations
is:

1) gtags-visit-rootdir to establish the correct root directory
2) Then issue gtags in shell to establish database

Suppose I have the source directory tree rooted at .../src, and in
that directory I also have .../src/test.py.

I visit .../src/test.py. In the text buffer, I now issue
gtags-visit-rootdir and the minibuffer shows me ".../src/"
so I accept and press RETURN. It is important to accept
the minibuffer content by only pressing RETURN, and not typing
anything else. When I do this, I get the error:

".../src/test.py is not a directory"

I will send to you directly a series of screen shots showing the above
sequence, to avoid spamming the mailing list.
