Bug 33488 – REGRESSION: webkit-patch upload errors if lacking a ChangeLog

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Ojan Vafai]

webkit-patch land now fails with an error if you haven't created a ChangeLog file first. I think it's the linter complaining. This worked as of Friday.

Land?  Do you mean upload?  "land" doesn't create ChangeLogs that I know of.

Land has no ChangeLog creation:

[Ojan Vafai]

Doh. Yes, I meant upload.

Sounds like a step ordering problem. :(

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitpy/commands/upload.py#L138

Looks like the solution is to just move the check-style check until after the ChangeLog prep.  Or to run it before changelog prep with some sort of --ignore-ChangeLogs flag.

Crap.  I probably broke this with the bug number patch.  Feel free to roll that out.

Bug 33197 was reverted in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/53105.  Adam believes that should fix this regression.

Closing.  Works for me now.  If this is still giving you trouble Ojan, let us know!
