| Summary | 0004032: problems with paths when loading session file from the command line | ||||
| Description | there seem to be substantial path problems with session files loaded from the command line: 1) when loading a session file from the command line with some audio regions, the regions are not found with the default audio region location (<Option name="audio-search-path" value="">), but the path needs be set explicitly, even though it is the default. 2) when recording a new audio region with a session file loaded from the command line, the new region is not saved to the default audio region location (<session-name>/interchange/<session-name>/audiofiles), but instead it is saved to <session-name>/interchange/audiofiles note that i have not tried this with MIDI regions and these problems do not occur if the session is loaded via the Ardour startup wizard or via Session/Open. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) start Ardour 3 with no command line arguments 2) create a new session in the startup wizard 3) create a track and record some audio on it 4) check where the audio was saved to (should be default <session-name>/interchange/<session-name>/audiofiles) 5) save and quit Ardour 3 6) from command line, start Ardour 3 with the just created session file name as the only command line argument 7) a dialog opens saying that the audio region recorded in step 3 cannot be found (i.e. problem 1 from above). if you manually add the default audiofiles location, then it is found and the session loads 8) create a new track and try recording audio on it. this audio region will be recorded to a non-default location of <session-name>/interchange/audiofiles, which seems to be missing the <session-name> folder between interchange and audiofiles (i.e. problem 2 from above). 9) even editing the session file by hand to set the audio-search-path back to <Option name="audio-search-path" value="">) will result in audio regions being recorded to the new, non-correct location as in step 8. | ||||
| Additional Information | i have tried this with both my native locale it_IT.UTF-8 and the locale of en_EN (as suggested by Paul on IRC), and the same result regardless of the locale setting. from this log messages, which appears with problem 0000001 above: [ERROR]: Filesource: cannot find required file (Audio-1.wav): while searching ./interchange/./audiofiles it seems that when loading from the command line, the session file name is lost, and the default audiofiles location is thus adjusted to the incorrect "<session-name>/interchange/audiofiles" instead of "<session-name>/interchange/<session-name>/audiofiles" | ||||

update: it seems that this problem also is messing with recording of sessions loaded from the command line. as you can see from the Log Window messages below, Ardour is trying to record a region to the non-correct audiofiles location as described above, resulting in a failure to record: [ERROR]: cannot open directory ./interchange/./audiofiles (No such file or directory) cannot open directory ./interchange/./audiofiles (No such file or directory) cannot open directory ./interchange/./audiofiles (No such file or directory) cannot open directory ./interchange/./audiofiles (No such file or directory) SndFileSource: cannot open file "./interchange/./audiofiles/chitarra 01-1.wav" for read+write (System error.) [ERROR]: AudioDiskstream 159: cannot write to disk [ERROR]: Butler write-behind failure on dstream chitarra 01 [ERROR]: SndFileSource: cannot open file "./interchange/./audiofiles/chitarra 01-1.wav" for read+write (System error.) [ERROR]: AudioDiskstream 159: cannot write to disk [ERROR]: AudioDiskstream "chitarra 01": cannot flush captured data to disk! [WARNING]: attempt to flush an un-opened audio file source (./interchange/./audiofiles/chitarra 01-1.wav) it seems like that in some cases Ardour simply creates the non-correct audiofiles location (as in step 0000008 above), or as in this case here (with a different session), it cannot find the non-correct audiofiles location and fails recording. regardless, it all seems to hinge on something screwing up the strings/paths of the session file when loaded from the command line. |

update: it seems that providing a full path to the session file from / makes everything work, but when using relative paths (as i do when i launch the ardour3 from the same directory as the session file, i just type "ardour3 <session-file>.ardour), the problems occur as described above. |
|
|
I can reproduce this by doing something like ardour3 test.ardour when the CWD is a test's session folder. In this case the session_path in ARDOUR_UI::get_session_parameters is set to '.', and it is subsequently used to build the path for audio files. |
|
|
i get the same behavior. could having symbolic links to another partition in the path be a cause? thanks. |
|
|
Should be fixed in SVN 10285. |
|
|
confirmed fixed in 10722. thanks! do i need to change the bug state to "fixed" or is that something you devs do? |
