[cvsspam-devel] RuntimeError => line did not begin with '#'

[Piergiuliano Bossi]

Hi all,

I've started using cvsspam in a new workplace some weeks ago (I'm a long
time user, but not in the last 3 years). Everything was fine, except that
yesterday there were 3 RuntimeError episodes. In all 3 instances I get
something like this:

/usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:229:in `advance':
/tmp/#cvsspam.27771.504-36629626/logfile:424 line did not begin with '#':
if_line_of_code (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:201:in `each'
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:499:in `handleLines'
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:1399
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:1391:in `open'
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:1391
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:1387:in `open'
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb:1387
/usr/local/lib/cvsspam/collect_diffs.rb:296:in `mailtest': problem running
'/usr/local/lib/cvsspam/cvsspam.rb' (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/collect_diffs.rb:461

Where if_line_of_code is obviously an if statement (in java). Please note
that the line numbers may be different than what you expect because I had to
change the script in order to do authentication on an SMTP server and
execute with nohup. Nevertheless, I don't think that my changes have caused
this issue.

Consider that that if_line_of_code is present in 1 file only and that file
hasn't been modified in months. It has nothing to do with the code change
that was going to be notified. The other 2 instance point to other code.

Of course if I open the temp file I can clearly see that that line indeed
doesn't start with '#'. At the same time, though, I don't see how
collect_diffs.rb can have put something without a leading '#' into the temp
file. Has anybody ever experienced something like this?

FYI:
*) ruby 1.8.5 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 35) [i386-linux]
*) cvsspam 0.2.12
*) cvs 1.11.22 on a "Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)" server

Thanks,
Giuliano
