Not working in Windows 10

[jsrraman]

I installed autojump as per the instructions for Windows but it's not working at all.

For example, if I navigate to a particular folder via "cd" like "D:/projects" and then switch back to a different folder and try j projects, it throws the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\autojump\bin\\autojump", line 342, in <module>
    sys.exit(main(parse_arguments()))
  File "C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\autojump\bin\\autojump", line 335, in main

    p = sre_parse.parse(p, flags)

    p = _parse_sub(source, pattern, flags & SRE_FLAG_VERBOSE, 0)

  File "D:\Program Files\Python\lib\sre_parse.py", line 523, in _parse
    source.tell() - here)
sre_constants.error: unterminated character set at position 5
ECHO is off.

However if I try listing the paths added to the autojump database, i.e j -s, it lists all the navigated paths correctly

My environment

OS: Windows 10 Python version: 3.6.3 autojump version: v22.5.1

The straight forward use case seems to be not working. Please let me know if I miss something.

i got the same issue and same setup aswell and this fix helped me out : https://github.com/wting/autojump/issues/434

I'm happy to dig in more at some point, but just started a new gig where I'm on a Win10 box. Was hoping to have autojump on my side, but as of now running autojump -s gets me:

0:       total weight
0:       number of entries
0.00:    current directory weight

data:    ~\AppData\Roaming\autojump\autojump.txt

... no matter how many times I cd through directories. Is it possible cd is not being overridden? If that's the case where should it happen?

I'll also say that neither that autjump directory nor the autjump.txt file existed until I manually created them, and it's still not getting populated.

I've got GitBash running on this machine, but I've also tried with clink-ified cmd to no avail.

Years ago I had autojump running fine in cygwin on Win7, but I don't remember having to really jump through many hoops.

Like I said, happy to devote time to a fix, but I'm pretty busy with work and my commute right now is 3hrs+ each way right now, so I likely won't have time till a weekend.

Closing as a dupe of #543.

@thynctank: You have a different problem. You haven't run the post installation steps or sourced the right file, so it's not tracking what you're using cd for.

Can you install from source and reproduce the issue? If so, please create a new issue.

@jsrraman How did you install for Windows10 ? I installed clink how do I actually install autojump ?

@jsrraman @SheepDomination did you solve this?

@wendingp no.
