Re: develop_begin_command - can't change directory

These errors all seem to indicate the "hostcomp" directory is not present, which in a normal new aegis change it would have no reason to be. Recall that aegis changes are "sparse" and that no files or directories exist unless/until you aecp or aenf something.
If there is a controlled file in your project you could define the begin_development command to include:
 aegis -cp hostcomp/some_file ; ....

Even if you have your project set up to make your change fully populated, I am guessing that does not take place until after the develop_begin_command has been run.

But one might wonder why you want to clean the .d file as you are doing, why not simply have your makefile that generates them  "force" rebuilding even if they are present?

Subject: [Aegis] develop_begin_command - can't change directory

## Aegis Version:
rpm -q
------
aegis-4.24.4-rc1.i686
------

## Host OS:

uname -r
-----------------------
2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.i686
-----------------------

cat /etc/redhat-release
-----------------------
CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
-----------------------

## Synopsis: The "develop_begin_command" function throws an error when
attempting to change the working directory. This appears to be a bug in
Aegis.

## Problem Description: Regardless of how I construct or call the
commands, "cd" can't find any directories. By comparison, the
"build_command" function has no problems with this. According to the
description in aepconf (5) this should work.

Excerpt from aepconf man page:
------------------------------
develop_begin_command = string;
       This field contains a command to be executed whenever a 'aegis
       -Develop_Begin' command is successful.  If this field is
       absent, nothing is done.  Used by the aedb(1) command.  All of
       the substitutions described by aesub(5) are available.

       Executed as: the developer.  Current directory: the development
       directory of the change.  Exit status: ignored.
------------------------------

I need to remove all *.d (auto-dependency) derived files and rebuild
them as soon as development begins. Our projects are managed by
segregating subsystems in subdirectories of the main project so we have
to change directory to do anything. The derived auto-dependency files
contain paths to the integration directory so they poison the dependency
mappings. I've changed our Makefiles so the *.d files are removed at the
end of aeb but they still need to be re-generated at aedb.

## Results:

Variations I've tried:

develop_begin_command = "cd hostcomp/ ; rm *.d ; make dep";

aegis: project "av8b94.17": change 5: user "cwebster" has begun

-----------------------
====================================================

In the last attempt I created a shell script to use instead of bare
commands.

/usr/local/bin/fixdeps.sh
-------------------------
#!/bin/sh
cd hostcomp
rm *.d
make dep
-------------------------


## Both of these aegis.conf entries start the same way. One works but
the other doesn't.

build_command = "cd hostcomp/ ; STATE=${state} make dep ; STATE=${state}
make aegis_build";
develop_begin_command = "cd hostcomp/ ; rm *.d ; make dep";

Thank you!
