'module' object has no attribute 'write'

[hsharrison]

I don't really know enough to troubleshoot this. I have this repo as a submodule in my personal dotfiles repo. Here's the bug reproduced in a standard clone. All the other hg submodules worked fine.

$ git clone hg::https://bitbucket.org/marmoute/mutable-history

Have you tried this with the latest version, since that one does not reproduce the above error on a casual attempt (might also depend on the Mercurial version > 3.7)? It looks a lot like 822c6e4b03d9e66df8261f323caded716e8d8b8d addresses this.

My apologies for commenting on an old issue, however I am experiencing the same issue when attempting to clone as well. I'm using the homebrew version on macOS, which I believe points to this repo's HEAD if I'm not mistaken.

I'm getting the same as @peterdimou, with the exact same traceback.

[mnauw]

The traceback shown above refers to bookmarks.write(repo) on line 379. However, git-remote-hg in HEAD (which is 822c6e4 at this time) does not have such on line 379. That line, however, does have exactly that content in HEAD^ (tagged v0.3). So, it looks like homebrew is pointing to that revision, not HEAD, where the HEAD commit is highly likely one that addresses this very issue.

I'm getting the same issue, and can verify that Homebrew is installing version 0.3.

Any chance of getting a new release of this so it can be updated in Homebrew? I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that the following should work:

Note that this issue is fixed (as well as other issues with recent Mercurial) in the latest version of this fork, though it is another matter for downstream to pick that up (see also issue #69).

I'm getting a similar issue with bookmarks even when using the latest version from HEAD instead of v0.3.

Any chance of getting this fixed, and a new release tagged?

Yes, I finally got around to doing it. This should be fixed in v0.4.
