環境：
Windows XP
RBTools 0.4.2
ReviewBoard 1.7.1
之前搭建了reviewboard，一開始是在動態視圖下測試的，一切順利。
當切換到靜態視圖下，用post-review提交所有checkedout文件時，命令顯示似乎也一切正常，最后也輸出了提交成功的提示信息“Review request #10 posted”。
但到reviewboard上打開該request，進行view diff時，出現如下異常：
Traceback (most recent call last):

把該文件在動態視圖下也post-review一下，比較了一下，發現靜態視圖下生成的diff文件不對。
直接用diff、cat命令測試，卻是因為在CC靜態視圖下，帶版本信息的文件是無法訪問的。這樣的話只得先用cleartool get命令把文件拷貝一份臨時文件，再用diff去比較臨時文件。
在eclipse裝上python插件，post-review調試，逐步跟進，找到了diff代碼的位置：
def diff_files(self, old_file, new_file):
"C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\RBTools-0.4.2-py2.7\rbtools\clients\clearcase.py" 262行
代碼改動如下：
def diff_files(self, old_file, new_file):
# in snapshot view, diff command can't access clearcase file which with version path
# create temporary file backup instead of clearcase file according by 'cleartool get' command
if self.viewtype == "snapshot":
temp_old_file = make_tempfile()
temp_new_file = make_tempfile()
if cpath.exists(temp_old_file):
os.unlink(temp_old_file)
if cpath.exists(temp_new_file):
os.unlink(temp_new_file)
execute(["cleartool", "get" , "-to", temp_old_file, old_file])
execute(["cleartool", "get" , "-to", temp_new_file, new_file])
diff_cmd = ["diff", "-uN", temp_old_file, temp_new_file]
else:
diff_cmd = ["diff", "-uN", old_file, new_file]
"""Return unified diff for file.
Most effective and reliable way is use gnu diff.
"""
dl = execute(diff_cmd, extra_ignore_errors=(1, 2),
translate_newlines=False)
# replace temporary file in snapshot view
if self.viewtype == "snapshot":
dl = dl.replace(temp_old_file, old_file)
dl = dl.replace(temp_new_file, new_file)
改動后重新編譯一下，塞回到RBTools相應位置。
于是，世界又一片清凈了。。。。。
