Subject: 24.4; Cannot jump to bookmark with tramp-via-proxy
Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2014 09:33:52 +0100

I'm using tramp with sshx & sudo for logging into remote machines as a
normal user and editing root-owned files there. I have some files that I
visit often, so I set a bookmark to these files. When I jump to such a
bookmark I receive the following error message:

--------------------------------------------------
Tramp: Opening connection for root <at> spector using sudo...failed
byte-code: Host `spector' looks like a remote host, `sudo' can only use the local host
--------------------------------------------------

How to reproduce:

1. Run `emacs -Q`

2. Connect to a remote host via a proxy,
e.g. "/sshx:mbunkus <at> spector|sudo:root <at> spector:/var/cache/bind/domain.db"

3. Set a bookmark with M-x bookmark-set

4. Save the bookmarks with M-x bookmark-save

Here's how such a bookmark looks like:

("domain.db"
 (filename . "/sshx:mbunkus <at> spector|sudo:root <at> spector:/var/cache/bind/linet/domain.db")
 (front-context-string . "; -*- mode: zone")
 (rear-context-string)
 (position . 1))

5. Exit and restart Emacs with `emacs -Q`

6. Jump to the bookmark set in 3.; now the error message occurs.

What's interesting is that I circumvent that error by manually opening a
similar tramp-sudo-via-sshx-proxy connection to any file on the same
host (e.g. to
"/sshx:mbunkus <at> spector|sudo:root <at> spector:/root/.bashrc"). After I've
done that once jumping to the bookmark miraculously starts working (no
further errors, the files are opened just as I expect them to
be). However, bookmarks to other hosts do not start working after such a
workaround.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hey,

I've attempted to trace the problem. It happens inside
bookmark-default-handler when it calls (file-readable-p file). Therefore
the test case can be boiled down to:

(file-readable-p "/sshx:mbunkus <at> spector|sudo:root <at> spector:/etc/fstab")

This function call returns t if there's already a tramp connection open
with the very same host & proxy. It errors if there's no tramp
connection open yet.

Kind regards,
mosu

Hey,

thanks for the quick fix, Michael. I can confirm that it fixes the issue
for me. I've checked both cases (no tramp connection with that
host/proxy yet and with a connection already open), and both work just
fine with your patch applied against today's emacs-git at revision
a9dcf6b.

Kind regards,
mosu

Thanks for confirmation. I've committed the patch to the emacs-24 bzr
branch; shall arrive your git checkout within a few days.

Closing the bug.
