Launchpad itself

Cannot push my own branch

Asked by Ben Dodson

When I try and push to a newly created branch, I get this:
bzr: ERROR: Generic bzr smart protocol error: Permission denied: "Ben Dodson cannot create branches owned by Ben Dodson"

I have not yet successfully pushed a branch.

Hmm, that error message certainly seems a bit strange... What url are you pushing to?

The command I'm using is:
bzr push bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>/~bdodson/do-plugins/jinzora

Michael will know better than me, but it seems like there may be an issue of bjdodson vs. bdodson there. Does it work if you try:

bzr push bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>/~bjdodson/do-plugins/jinzora

Did you change your nick at some stage?

Great, that does work. Thanks.

I can't remember if I've ever changed my nick, but it wouldn't surprise me. It may also belong to another Ben Dodson I guess, but either way ~bjdodson is the correct url for me.

In earlier versions of Bazaar, like 0.90 that you are using, the "lp:" expansion
was rather dumb, and just expanded to "http://bazaar.launchpad.net/".

I think it was closer to Bazaar 1.0 that we grew the ability to expand the "lp:"
to allow writes as well.

Can you upgrade your Bazaar client and try again?

I'm using 1.3.1. I don't think I'm having expansion issues, I just had my username set to a wrong value, which exists but is not the one I wanted.

Ah sorry. I think I confused this thread with an earlier one.

One of the things we'd like to do soon with the launchpad-login is
to verify the setting with an oauth token. This is make sure that the
correct launchpad id is set.
