SPADS: "failed to upload demo"

[abma]

it seems most autohosts fail to upload the replay after updating from spring 96.0 to 98.0.

is there a solution known?

in changelog this maybe could be the cause:

! demofile string in infolog changed "recording demo: %s" -> "Recording demo to: %s"

[abma]

hm, looks like it could be the cause:

What is the error number when trying to upload demo?

[dansan]

bibim created a fix (see github link above). It's in SPADS 0.11.21 - that is currently unstable/testing.

"According to your log, the Spring Autohost interface has been silently modified in Spring 98: the SERVER_STARTPLAYING message no longer contains a relative filename for the demo but an absolute one, which obviously broke backward compatibility for autohosts using this data."

very likely a side effect of:

What is the error number when trying to upload demo?

[Replay Upload] ERROR: could not open spring demo file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/*Hidden-User-Name*/.spring//home/*Hidden-User-Name*/.spring/demos-server/20141015_115123_Mini_DeltaSiegeDry_v04_98.sdf'.

Yeah, sorry for being pedantic, the fix that dansan posted solves this issue.

The reason I was curious about the error code is that sometimes in Spring 96 too the replay upload would fail, with another error code. But I think that has to do with some issue in replay file itself.
