Description

An exception is raised by tahoe node during the second run of tahoe backup.

<type 'exceptions.AttributeError?'>: NewDirectoryNode? instance has no attribute 'replace_me_with_a_childcap'

It seems related to the last step of the backup process where the Latest/ directory is linked to the latest Archives/timestamp/.

Attached html file contains more details.

The incriminated node is actually on the production allmydata.com grid.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

Well, it is certainly a normal incompatibility issue between the latest CLI and an older node.

The recent CLI running against a recent node doesn't raise any exception.

Yeah, that error is the result of a bug that was fixed 28-Oct-2008, in change a5aebf0cbd066cf2, such that the webapi interface used by that last step of backup just didn't work.

I'll add a note to the NEWS file to indicate that 'tahoe backup' requires a 1.3.0 client node, since the 1.2.0 webapi still had this bug.
