I think, we need to agree what exactly solution should be. About creating parent directories.It's going to complicate solution, path can be of any depth. i.e. /a/b/c/d/e/.pgpass, and none of these folders could present. Are we going to keep on creating all folders ?

So if we decide to add code for creation of full path, then similar code has to be removed from location of call to this function. Otherwise, it will end up with multiple error messages. It's wxWidget's wxFile that throws error. So, I've created two patches, and we can go with one of them. 1. Let GetConfigFile function just read value from PGPASSFILE and return as it is as like, similar to way it creates default path(It doesn't create file in case of default path as well). And calling functions are taking care of path validation and error messages. This won't work. We should create the file, if it does not exists (and, the path).2. Let GetConfigFile function read value from PGPASSFILE and create file path ,it will show error message in case it can't. In this case calling code only should check existence of file before going ahead, and not try to create or read file, otherwise , user will end up with multiple message boxes with same error. The patch, you shared, do not create the path (parent directories) for the PGPASSFILE (if it does not exists). You're only creating the file, which is not right. NOTE: Please do not mix tabs and spaces in your patch. I am still not able to apply the patch using 'git apply' utility. -- Thanks & Regards, Ashesh Vashi EnterpriseDB INDIA: Enterprise PostgreSQL Company[http://www.enterprisedb.com] http://www.linkedin.com/in/asheshvashi[http://www.linkedin.com/in/asheshvashi] regards, Prasad Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 at 11:35 AM From: "Ashesh Vashi" <ashesh.va...@enterprisedb.com[ashesh.va...@enterprisedb.com]>, func To: "Dave Page" <dp...@pgadmin.org[dp...@pgadmin.org]> Cc: Prasad <prasa...@mail.com[prasa...@mail.com]>, pgadmin-hackers <pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org[pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org]> Subject: Re: [pgadmin-hackers] Patch : PGPASSFILE fix On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 4:40 PM, Dave Page <dp...@pgadmin.org[dp...@pgadmin.org]> wrote: On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 11:06 AM, Ashesh Vashi <ashesh.va...@enterprisedb.com[ashesh.va...@enterprisedb.com][ashesh.va...@enterprisedb.com[ashesh.va...@enterprisedb.com]]> wrote: On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 4:09 PM, Dave Page <dp...@pgadmin.org[dp...@pgadmin.org][dp...@pgadmin.org[dp...@pgadmin.org]]> wrote: I think we should try to create the full path if necessary, and simply throw an error if we can't.
