This looks like T101838 and should be solved already. Could you test a recent version?

I'm using the core nightly build here:

and I am still hitting the same problem. Is this not the most recent version?

Unfortunately it's a version from 10 days ago. @Ladsgroup might need to check it out why it's not generating new nightlies.

Can you point me towards an alternative location to get a more recent version?

XZise added a comment.Jul 15 2015, 4:20 PM

It is supposed to be recent. Alternatively use got or initialise it manually and do python generate_user_files.py.

Okay. I've already got it functional, I just wanted to confirm that it was fixed. Thanks!

+1 one month, it's July already. Anyway I'll close it as a duplicate of T101838 as it has been fixed already. The only issue that the nightlies don't get generated (see also T94184).

XZise closed this task as a duplicate of T101838: generate_user_files warns about unknown arguments with pwb.Jul 15 2015, 5:53 PM
XZise mentioned this in T94184: No new nightlies since a month.
