git-send-email: Skipping - not found.

From: Timur Tabi <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:32

When I issue this command:

git-send-email  --from Timur Tabi [off-list ref] --suppress-cc=all --to
timur@tabi.org --smtp-server remotesmtp.freescale.net
0001--PATCH-Update-CS4270-driver-to-ASoC-V2.patch

I get this output:

Skipping  - not found.
0001--PATCH-Update-CS4270-driver-to-ASoC-V2.patch
OK. Log says:

I don't know enough about Perl to debug this, but I presume the problem is in
this code:

for my $f (@ARGV) {
	if (-d $f) {
		opendir(DH,$f)
			or die "Failed to opendir $f: $!";

		push @files, grep { -f $_ } map { +$f . "/" . $_ }
				sort readdir(DH);

	} elsif (-f $f) {
		push @files, $f;

	} else {
		print STDERR "Skipping $f - not found.\n";
	}
}

My guess is that "$f", at some point, is an empty string or a blank space.

Surely that is not the command you issued, since it lacks shell quoting
around your name and email address.

Yes, that is what is producing the error message. But that is the first
time we ever look at @ARGV, let alone modify it. So the error is almost
certainly caused by a blank argument being passed on the command line.
And we can't debug that unless you show us the exact shell invocation
that was used.

You're right.  It's the output from an "echo" command in a shell script, which
likes to remove quotation marks.  I keep forgetting that it does that.

Right again!  I did a more through check of the command-line arguments, and I am
sending '' as one argument on the command line.

I just rewrote my script so that it doesn't ever send a null argument.  Thanks
for the help.
