function not implemented (tar) *easy fix!*

[suresttexas00]

I have tar installed and it is in my system Path. I get the same message:

[23:50:40] [Server thread/INFO]: Saving...
[23:50:40] [Server thread/INFO]: Saved the world
[23:50:40] [Server thread/INFO]: Turned off world auto-saving
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\tar.exe
tar: Cannot open /Users/JRUSSELL/Desktop/vanilla/backups//backup-2015-01-20_23:5
0:40.tar: Function not implemented
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I'll get that extra / out of there.. but I don't think that is the issue. I am using

" /Users/JRUSSELL/Desktop/vanilla/backups/" in the wrapper.properties (of course, I am removing the trailing slash and will see if I get same results -pretty sure I will).

[suresttexas00]

Yep.. same thing.

Also tried it this way:

C:\Users\JRUSSELL\Desktop\vanilla\backups

[00:21:26] [Server thread/INFO]: Saving...
[00:21:26] [Server thread/INFO]: Saved the world
[00:21:26] [Server thread/INFO]: Turned off world auto-saving
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\tar.exe
tar: Cannot open C:\Users\JRUSSELL\Desktop\vanilla\backups/backup-2015-01-21_00:
21:26.tar: Function not implemented
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[00:21:27] [Server thread/INFO]: Turned on world auto-saving

I'm not having any luck running tar from the command prompt either. It is installed but I get errors like:
alltheworld is the world folder and backup is the file I want to create (for simplicity, right in the vanilla folder).

C:\Users\JRUSSELL\Desktop\vanilla>tar -cfv backup alltheworld
tar: Cannot add file backup: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

C:\Users\JRUSSELL\Desktop\vanilla>tar -c backup alltheworld
tar: Cannot open -: Invalid argument
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

C:\Users\JRUSSELL\Desktop\vanilla>tar -c backup
tar: Cannot open -: Invalid argument
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

C:\Users\JRUSSELL\Desktop\vanilla>tar -c backup.tar
tar: Cannot open -: Invalid argument
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Try doing it without the -.

tar cfpv backup.tar alltheworld

I think it's also important to actually add the .tar to the end - otherwise it might bug out.

[suresttexas00]

OK! That worked.. now how do I get that to wrapper?

The command I need (that works) is:
tar cfpv /Users/JRUSSELL/Desktop/vanilla/backups/backup.tar /Users/JRUSSELL/Desktop/vanilla/AllTheWorld

[suresttexas00]

I have narrowed the error as being something caused by the backup file name. When i change the file name to just Backup (eliminate the timestamp), it works.

[suresttexas00]

Its the Colons! You can't use those in windows file names. May I suggest replacing those two colons with periods?
Works...

I'm not at my computer right now, but I can fix as soon as I get back!

I just released a stable 0.7.5 build, and will probably do a 0.7.6 shortly to iron out some of the bugs and whatnot.

Created the pull request to fix. Code works great.
