Description Matthias Schuetz 2006-04-21 12:52:35 UTC
Distribution: Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 2)
Package: anjuta
Severity: normal
Version: GNOME2.8.0 2.0.x
Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
Synopsis: Wizard can't cope with insufficient permissions in project target directory
Bugzilla-Product: anjuta
Bugzilla-Component: plugins: project-wizard
Bugzilla-Version: 2.0.x

Overview:
If one tries to create a project in a directory for which one doesn't have write permissions, the wizard dies silently and can't be used until Anjuta is restarted.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir $HOME/foo
2. chmod a-w $HOME/foo
3. Create new project with the wizard and set $HOME/foo as the target directory

Actual Results:
The last message from the project wizard is:
Creating $HOME/foo/$project/AUTHORS
After that it can't be used until anjuta is restarted.

Expected Results:
Display an error message, resume normal operation.

Build Date & Platform:
Anjuta 2.0.1, Linux 2.6
