Hg Push Fails

[crystallum]

Hello

I have recently created a new repository and i have been adding and removing files without any issues. Creating branches, pulling and pushing had been working fine.

All of a sudden now i can't commit any more. I only have one commit that consists of 6 images in new folder.

I am using Mercurial with SSH connection and SourceTree. Since sourcetree is not giving me much in the way of outpu I started using the terminal within the app to get more verbose logs.

This is the output i get:

C:\REDACTED\Trunk>hg push -v --debug --traceback

running "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\SourceTree\tools\putty\plink.exe" -ssh -i "C:\Users\REDACTED\private.ppk" hg@bitbucket.org

Do you have any idea of what I can do to be able to push again?

Edit: Additional info:

I tried to add each of the six image files individually to varying degrees of success. When the operation failed the results were the same, but I found out tha if I kept trying on the console with the exact same commands it will eventually go through, this could take dozens of attempts and hours of trying so it is obviously not a solution and the output was this:

I'm positive that my private key is working and loaded in Pageant.

The problem persists with other commits.

I have the same problem on Mercurial 3.4.2

After several tries I am still unsuccessful.  The changeset I am pushing is rather large, about 7500 files ~ 800M.

My suspicion is that the sheer bulk is a contributing factor.

Hi,

Unfortunately I did not find a solution but I found a workaround while trouble shooting, in short it requires commiting and pushing from a different PC.

What I do now is:

• I continue to work on my development PC as usual. SourceTree is installed.
• My project's root directory is now "cloned" to a shared folder of y development PC.
• I have a laptop PC connected to the development PC via direct ethernet cable.
• The laptop PC also has SourceTree installed but instead of "cloning" its own copy of the repository, it just "opens" the existing clone from the shared folder in the development PC.
• I can Pull latest from either PC. I Commit and Push only from the laptop PC. Most of the time I do all my interactions with SourceTree from the laptop just to be safe.

Conclusion:

• I don't know what the problem is as SourceTree and Mercurial were installed the same way in both machines. The laptop runs windows 8 and the development PC runs windows 7. Both are 64-bit systems.
• I thinkn this is very unfortunate and there doesn't seem tobe anything else posted on this issue, I assume most people that run into this switch to different solution for source control as this is obviously not OK.

W.F.

We have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution to the problem?

I added an answer talking about my "solution", if you canc all it that.

Offhand I'm not sure but you might get some tips just by searching around for HG Exception IOError: (22, 'Invalid argument'). If troubleshooting doesn't get you anywhere, you might consider trying it on another computer and using git or hg over SSH (git perferably). If that piques any interest you can follow along here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Bitbucket+101... with that you might want to keep this handy: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Troubleshoot+SSH+Issues - I know it doesn't solve the issue but it might help isolate or help narrow down the variables.
