1202278 - when invoked from Emacs' M-x compile, mach thinks mercurial-setup has not been run

Status: NEW

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: configwizard, defect)

Description

[Zack Weinberg (:zwol)]

When invoked from a shell window, './mach build' works fine; in particular it does not complain about mercurial-setup not having been run.

When invoked from Emacs' M-x compile, however...

| -*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/projects/mozilla/S-mc/" -*-

| ./mach build
| *** MERCURIAL NOT CONFIGURED ***
|
| mach has detected that you have never run `./mach mercurial-setup`.
|
| Running this command will ensure your Mercurial version control tool is up
| to date and optimally configured for a better, more productive experience
| when working on Mozilla projects.
|
| Please run `./mach mercurial-setup` now.
|
| Note: `./mach mercurial-setup` does not make any changes without prompting
| you first.

(N.B. I would appreciate it if there were a --shut-up-and-do-what-I-said-anyway option to override all such complaints.)

You can set I_PREFER_A_SUBOPTIMAL_MERCURIAL_EXPERIENCE=1 in the environment to skip this check, FYI.
