Hi! i am trying to patch #3614 (export_issues_to_pdf_csv.diff) to my windows version of Redmine. I installed this via Bitnami installer. I can't seem to patch this file! I am new to Redmine and all this. What i know and have done so far is this!

1) Downloaded patch program for windows. And from cmd, i went to directoy where redmine is installed (apps, config, test etc folders). Did command "c:\bin\patch.exe -p0 < export_issues_to_pdf_csv.diff" This gave me a kind of strange statement that there is garbage in the file, something like this. Btw my .diff file was in the folder where patch.exe application exists. After i failed here, i explored TortoiseSVN.

2) Alex Mendes told me that i have to use SVN to retrieve Redmine development build. Not sure why, I used Tortoise SVN and checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/redmine/trunk . Files were downloaded to a new folder i created. I don't know what to do afterwards with all these files.

How can i get this patch working. I would really really appreciate if somebody could go out of way and explain it in detail how to patch in windows. I searched everywhere but could not locate a single article explaining this. Everywhere i looked it was related to a specific tool. Its disturbing that the patch instructions on this portal are just not useful for newbies.

Looking forward to your help. I'll appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Abdul,

to apply the patch, copy it to the redmine base-directory e.g. 'c:\srv\redmine'

Open a shell / cmd and cd to the directory where you have just copied your patchfile to(e.g.'c:\srv\redmine').

Do a "c:\bin\patch.exe -p0 < export_issues_to_pdf_csv.diff" and everything should work fine. If it doesn't work, please post the error message here and i'll look into this. Maybe some files in the current revision have changed and the patch needs to be adjusted.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks Chris!

I did exactly how you described. Here is the output:

C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps>cd redmine

C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine>c:\Patch\bin\patch.exe -p0 <
export_issues_to_pdf_csv.diff
c:\Patch\bin\patch.exe: ** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

Awaiting your response.

Thanks, AN

It looks like the patch cannot be applied to the current revision.

I'll look into this now and try to create a new one.

Thanks a bunch. I will wait then.

I've attached the new patch file to the issue(#3614). Please download the export_issues_to_pdf_csv_r2823_win32.diff to your redmine base folder and follow the steps provided above.

From http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm:

On MS-Windows, the patchfile must be a text file, i.e. CR-LF must be used as line endings. A file with LF may give the error:
"Assertion failed, hunk, file patch.c, line 343," unless the option '--binary' is given. 

Using the --binary switch, doesn't help in this case, as it still makes the patch fail. To use unix *.diff files under Windows use a converter like the one found at http://sysd.org/stas/node/34.

@Rômulo Augusto dos Santos Gomes.....I am also looking for same.

Hello,

I am having the same kind of issue:

Bitnami Redmine stack on a win7.
I use the patch.exe from Gnu : http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm

I tried to apply different patches from the Htdocs folder, and I always get the same error:

C:\Bitnami\redmine-2.5.2-0\apps\redmine\htdocs>patch.exe -p0 < multiple_fixed_versions.patch
patching file app/models/issue.rb
Assertion failed: hunk, file ../patch-2.5.9-src/patch.c, line 354

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Is it due to the patch exe ?

Thanks.
