Bug with OS X 5.4.11.567 installer

The installer adds the entry for plastic CLI to the path in .bash_profile but it apparently reads and overwrites the whole file instead of appending to the file (which it does anyway when adding the PATH entry). This wouldn't be an issue except that it doesn't handle UTF-8 or doesn't do it correctly because any UTF characters get munged.

 

So it appends:

 

export PATH=/Applications/PlasticSCM/client:$PATH

 

but if you have a character that is strictly UTF-8 (no overlap with ASCII) like:

 

 

You get it replaced with:

 

â¤

 

Just an FYI. Really hoping you guys can get the native client out soon!

 

 

Toodles,

We are checking the issue, we'll return with more info. Thanks for reporting the issue.

 

One last thing, can you please give us an example of the overwritten content? Is the "➤" corrector just an example of a non ASCII char??

The "➤" was one of the characters. I'm sorry I cannot provide the munged file (already gone) but should be trivial to reproduce. I did save one of the lines in a text file:

The commented line was what it was converted to while the last line is the original line.

 

I hope that helps.
