vcstool

✓ import vcstool

Load a .repos file using the Python API.

import vcstool # vcstool is primarily a CLI tool vcs; Python API is limited # Example: parse a .repos file from vcstool import config repos = config.load('.repos') print(repos)

vcs --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchavcstool is primarily a CLI tool. The Python API is not fully stable and lacks documentation. Prefer using the 'vcs' command directly in shell scripts or CI.

fix

Use 'vcs import < .repos' etc. instead of the Python API when possible.

affects: all

gotchavcstool requires installed VCS tools (git, hg, bzr, svn) on PATH. If a VCS is missing, commands for that type silently fail or error.

fix

Install required VCS tools (e.g., 'apt-get install git mercurial subversion').

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named vcstool

vcstool is not installed or pip install failed due to missing setup.py in some environments.

fix

Run 'pip install vcstool --upgrade' or install from source: 'pip install git+https://github.com/dirk-thomas/vcstool.git'

vcs: command not found

vcstool's console script 'vcs' not in PATH after pip install (user install vs system install).

fix

Install with 'pip install --user vcstool' and ensure ~/.local/bin is in PATH, or use 'python -m vcstool' instead.
