Question

(I'm a newcomer to mercurial so I admit I could just be doing things wrong)

Edit: Just noticed this http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/issue2930. Has this update not come out yet?

I have just created my first repo on kiln. Then I downloaded the importer for it. On trying to import my local repo (small test project) and I got something similar to

http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/2652/error-in-kiln-client-on-command-line-running-hg-status-windows-xp

That question has an answer asking the user to download the latest tools. However a comment asks:

What do you mean by 'client tools', though? Upgrade to the latest Kiln client? (How do I tell which version my current Kiln client is at?) And is there a client download link on the net, other than through my hosted Kiln site under the Resources pulldown?

-- However this is not answered.

Now when I run hg from the command line I get the following

C:\temp\master>hg status * failed to import extension kbfiles from C:\Users\preet\AppData\Local\KilnExtensions\bfiles\kbfiles: [Errno 2] No such file or directory[Errno 2] No such file or directory

Here is my log:

hg  version --noninteractive

Answer 1

Look in your C:\Users\preet\AppData\Local\KilnExtensions\ folder and see if you have a kbfiles folder there. If so, create a folder there called bfiles and then move the kbfiles folder into it.

(There was a version of the client installer that was not using the bfiles folder.)
