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

$ ./WebKitTools/Scripts/webkit-patch post-commits -m "Patch v1" HEAD
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./WebKitTools/Scripts/webkit-patch", line 64, in <module>

    if options.no_squash:
AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'no_squash'

Note that "upload" keeps opening an editor for a patch that already has a ChangeLog, which is not what I want either:

./WebKitTools/Scripts/webkit-patch upload -m "Patch v1" -g HEAD

Looks like this needs a test case. :)  Ojan is our master of --no-squash...

How does this change PostCommits?

[Ojan Vafai]

This issue was that post-commits used an object that inherited from AbstractStep, which would check the values of these options without using the options in the AbstractStep itself. I think there's an architectural issue in the code here, but I'm not sure it's worth fixing now.
