mercurial .hgrc notify hook

Question

Could someone tell me what is incorrect in my .hgrc configuration? I am trying to use gmail to send a e-mail after each push and/or commit.

.hgrc

[paths]
default = ssh://www.domain.com/repo/hg

[ui]
username = intern <[email protected]>
ssh="C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercurial\plink.exe" -ssh -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercurial\key.pub"

[extensions]
hgext.notify = 

[hooks]
changegroup.notify = python:hgext.notify.hook
incoming.notify = python:hgext.notify.hook

[email]
from = [email protected]

[smtp]
host = smtp.gmail.com
username = [email protected]
password = sure
port = 587
tls = true

[web]
baseurl = http://dev/...

[notify]
sources = serve push pull bundle
test = False
config = /path/to/subscription/file
template = \ndetails:   {baseurl}{webroot}/rev/{node|short}\nchangeset: {rev}:{node|short}\nuser:      {author}\ndate:      {date|date}\ndescription:\n{desc}\n
maxdiff = 300

Answer 1

Did you follow the steps detailled in "AccessingSshRepositoriesFromWindows"?

If yes, you still can try:

Plink.exe also has a -batch argument which tells plink to run non-interactively.
Any activity that would normally require user interaction (a new host key, for instance) will cause plink to exit immediately rather than stall.
When an ssh operation fails, you can use the --debug argument to figure out what went wrong.
