Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] tshark (Windows) not working

I get the same error with dumpcap as well.

I went back to 32687 (there seem to be some major changes to dumpcap in 32688) and dumpcap works, but tshark gives the original error I reported:
E:\wireshark-src\wireshark-gtk2>dumpcap -i 2
File: C:\DOCUME~1\sarkara\LOCALS~1\Temp\wiresharkXXXXa01288
Packets: 31 Packets dropped: 0

E:\wireshark-src\wireshark-gtk2>tshark -i 2
Capturing on Intel(R) 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection
**
ERROR:column-utils.c:879:???: code should not be reached

E:\wireshark-src\wireshark-gtk2>

Then, I went back to 32682 (there are changes in 32683 to column-utils) and now it works at least.

So, I am staying here for now!

Hi Joan,

I am getting that error on both tshark and Wireshark with my build (32727) on Windows (32 bit). I tried doing a distclean; verify_tools; setup and build. It compiles without error, but refuses to capture. Looks like I chose a bad time to code a few changes ;-)

I haven't got around to investigating the issue in detail (yet)... I hope someone beats me to it.

Regards,
Abhik

Hi all,

SVN 32686
I get the same error (column-utils.c:879:???) running TShark on:
64-bit Windows 7, build 7600

SVN 32692 and higher (the latest version I tried is SVN-32727):

Please check that "\Device\NPF_{E859D76E-155B-4512-ACB6-B1B2A07914DB}" is
the proper interface.

Any ideas?

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] tshark (Windows) not working

Hi All,

I can't get tshark to work anymore. I get this error:
E:\wireshark-src\wireshark-gtk2>tshark -i 2
Capturing on Intel(R) 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection
**
ERROR:column-utils.c:879:???: code should not be reached

E:\wireshark-src\wireshark-gtk2>

It seems to be related to the changes related to the timestamps which Stig
has been working on. Is anyone else facing issues?

I am on revision 32686.

Thanks,
Abhik.
