            Bug ID: 4380

          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
           Summary: hg debuginstall doesn't understand "~" in ui.editor,
                    reports a problem
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: engored at ya.ru
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.1.1
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

I have this in my ~/.hgrc:

[ui]
editor = ~/.hgeditor

This is the output of hg debuginstall:

checking encoding (UTF-8)...
checking Python executable (/usr/bin/python)
checking Python version (2.7.8)
checking Python lib (/usr/lib/python2.7)...
checking installed modules (/home/a/hg/mercurial)...
checking templates (/home/a/hg/mercurial/templates)...
checking commit editor...
 Can't find editor '~/.hgeditor' in PATH
 (specify a commit editor in your configuration file)
checking username...
1 problems detected, please check your install!

hg version: 3.1.1+121-a5709386c5e6

But when I do hg commit, the ~/.hgeditor does get picked up, i.e. there is no
problem (I know that because the script shows the patch to-be-committed in a
split window). I think the problem is that debuginstall doesn't expand "~"
there.
