Need help applying patch

Added by Snir Sh about 8 years ago

Hi all,
I'm using Redmine 3.1.0 on windows and need help applying a patch.
The patch i'm trying to apply is issue-reopen.patch

I tried to use the command "patch c:\path-to-patch\issue-reopen.patch" but it's taking forever.
The command "patch -p0 < c:\path-to-patch\issue-reopen.patch" does not work for me. I get the error -
"can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?"
Tried to use p1 as well. Same error.

Please assist.

Thanks a lot!

Where does your patch command come from? There might be better/graphical solutions:

Secondary, what format is your patch file and where did you get it?

The command is from the bin folder C:\Bitnami\redmine-3.1.0-0\git\bin
I got the patch from - https://www.redmine.org/issues/7994
What do you mean by format?

I will check again the link you sent me.

One more thing -
I tried another patch and this time the command succeeded.
How can I use it know?

Thanks.
