Client install overwrites existing config directory #95

Closed CJHoffmann closed 10 years ago

CJHoffmann commented 10 years ago

Installing the 130920 client from my local copy or from an administrators directory, the ~/twister/config directory gets overwritten. This is seen by checking the fwmconfig.xml before and after and noting that the paths have been reset to defaults.

The CLI response indicates that a backup of the config directory was made to and from ~/.twister but that directory does not exist (it was deleted during previous tests). See LOG 1 below

If I create ~/.twister (mode 775 or 777) the client install fails. See LOG 2 below.

It looks like the config directory is being copied into the ~/twister/config directory rather that the ~/.twister/config directory.

Tested with 131004 package. The config directory looks like it survives an in-place upgrade whether the installation occurs from a user's directory or an administrator's.
