1228580 - ./mach mercurial-setup should use ~ to set up extension paths, not my literal home directory

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Mach Core, enhancement)

Description

[AJ Jordan [:strugee] (he/they)]

Mach should use paths with ~ to set up extension paths, instead of actually spelling out the path to my home directory. E.g. Mach wants:

> bzexport = /home/alex/.mozbuild/version-control-tools/hgext/bzexport

but

> bzexport = ~/.mozbuild/version-control-tools/hgext/bzexport

is better. AFAICT this doesn't break anything and it allows those of us who version-control configuration files to more easily use our .hgrc across machines.

When you filed the bug I thought this would be more than a one-liner. Nice!
