Bug 198527

I used "team->export diff patch" to create a diff file, which looked good, but then when later trying to apply it again, I get the message, "The patch cannot be applied in the selected context" and nothing is done at all.

I realise that there are other bugs tracking the context path being relative to project roots and version control roots, but this bug is NOT about that.

This message is being applied simply because a hunk failed.  The "output" window had a tab labelled "patch report" which was _NOT_ brought to the foreground when this failed.  (It should have been, I should not have had to go looking)

On that tab, I get the following output:

11.5.2011 17:46:58  ===========================================================================
--- Successfully Patched ---
<none>
--- Failed ---
C:\srcx\cbms2-trunk\applications\mqtt2_v_ssr\mqtt2_v_ssr.cpp (Cannot apply hunk @@ 10 )

This is pretty worthless.  What happens at the command line when I try and apply the patch myself:


C:\srcx\cbms2-trunk\applications\mqtt2_v_ssr>patch -p0 --verbose -i mqtt_subtopi
cs_cleanup.diff
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

Notes: That comment that the "patch can be applied..." is wrong, that just gives the bad context error.

I would like a patch that has failed hunks to _succeed_ and then offer to show me the failed hunks!  It's pretty worthless in it's current state.
