Source control api help

After a week of re familiarizing myself with c and c++ I was final able to start writing a source control plug in. I am stuck at SCS_GetRootFolderLength and SCS_GetRootFolder though. Dreamweaver calls both functions but immediately after gives the error “An error occurred – cannot open remote folder <rootName>” I have tried every combination Folder length around the folder name length. I have tried with back slashed before and after the name. No matter what I do Dreamweaver never calls SCS_GetFolderListLength

Figured it out, connectionData needed some data from connect

Robohelp 8 integration via the Microsoft Source Control API (Perforce/Subversion)

Robohelp 8 claims to support the Micorsoft Source Control API, which allows third party source control systems to be used with it. Unfortunately, it seems to work great with Subversion (third party plug-in required) and Perforce until we rename a file. Then it fails. For Perforce, it fails with no error. The file just doesn't get renamed. For Subversion, we get an ugly error from the plug-in, but after consulting with the plug-in's developers (PushOK) and given the same problem in Perforce, I think this is an RH8 bug.
Has anyone else seen this, or does anyone else have experience with this?
Thanks in advance!

Help needed on weblogic portal source control under CVS

Hi,
Is that good or bad to put all the portaldomain under CVS control? eg.
my portal domain directory structure under development environment is
like the following:
c:\myportaldomain --|
|--beaApps
|---portalApp
| |---------myportalApplication
|
|---portalApp-project
I think the stuff I need to put under CVS are "myportalApplication"
and "portalApp-project" directories.
However, I want to organize the CVS directory structure like the
following:
c:\myportalmodule --|
|--src
|--docs
|--"myportalApplication"
|--"portalApp-project"
So this means: after I checkout from CVS, I need to copy the two
directories "myportalApplication" and "portalApp-project" from
c:\myportalmodule into corresponding sub-directories under
c:\myportaldomain, before I can do any development and testing. also,
if I make some changes on c:\myportaldomain, and I want to checkin, I
need to copy those files back to c:\myportalmodule. I tried to use
directory softlink, but it windows NT just offer shortcut, which
doesn't work.
Can somebody give some education how to integerate the weblogic portal
with CVS source control systems?
Thanks very much

Hi Rene,
Thanks for the very helpful info.
I think maybe I have a idea how to set up the dev environment now,
basically I will organize the CVS repository and weblogic directories
in the same way.
c:\myportalmodule--|
|---myportaldomain
| |---beaApps
| |---portalApp
| | |---------myportalApplication
| |
| |---portalApp-project
|--src
|--docs
|--build.xml
So before everybody can checkout any code from CVS, he need to
configure a new domain named "myportaldomain" in c:\myportalmodule
directory. Since the CVS and his domain have the same directory
structure, so when he do the fully checkout, the files will actually
be put into the right place, and he can checkin his files easily.
one annoying thing is that, since there are other files (such as
startPortal.bat,etc )generated by domain configuration wizard in
c:\myportalmodule\myportaldomain, which are not in CVS repository. so
everytime, we do a checkout, CVS will issue the warnings saying those
files are in CVS repository. Please advise is there any potential
problems or issues with this setup? Thanks for your help!!!!!
"René Zanner" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:<[email protected]>...
Hi,
we did a similar thing, but we put the whole beaApps directory in the CVS, because
we had more applications and also modified some things inside the tools application
of BEA...
With CVS you can do a 'partial' checkout of your module, that means you do not
need to copy the folders back and forth, but you can check in and update directly
in you domain directory.
The command for a partial checkout is:
cvs co -d <name of destination folder> <module name>/<path to your folder>
Once checked out here, you can work with the files like in the complete checkout.
HTH,

Integrated Source Control doesn't honor given username after restart of LabVIEW

I don't really like the integrated Source Control of LabVIEW 8.20 due to some missing features and failures which happen. But for a presentation I had to get some practical information. As SCC API provider I selected Microsoft Visual Source Safe for an example project. While playing around I noticed following bug in the implementation for LabVIEW.
All given information to access the SCC provider is saved inside 'labview.ini' (which is IMO not the correct place, especially when you are working with different projects). As user I selected 'admin' and not the logged on system user. Access to the repository is granted within the current session and I can do all operations. But if you restart LabVIEW it cannot access the repository because it uses the system user and not the given username to log into the repository.
If you wan't to work with the integrated Source Control each user who should get access to the repository should have an own user account with the same username as his Windows account.
This is one of a number of bugs since a couple of versions which don't let me use the integrated Source Control.
Henrik

Due to following items I don't want to work with the integrated source control:
1. All SCC options are stored inside the file 'labview.ini'. That makes you unimpossible to work with different projects without reconfiguring the SCC again and again. Each project should hold it's own SCC options which overrides the LabVIEW global SCC options. If you are working without projects the global SCC options should be used.
2. If you don't have access to the repository (e.g. network disconnected) you get an error message each time you open a vi (last tested with 8.0 a long time ago). LabVIEW should silently fail and give me at maximum one alert that the connection to the repository cannot be established. Opening the SCC options you can see that everyting is resetted while the correct configuration is still located inside the 'labview.ini'. You have to delete them manually inside the configuration file.
Both parts are already reported to NI in february last year.
3. Comparing two different versions of one file is not working unless you compare the current local version with the latest version inside the repository. Using subversion I can do that by integrating metadiff and lvdiff. It is more than helpful.
4. You have to use an external scc client to create a branch or tag.
5. That's a personal thing but I like the way of using update/commit instead of checkout/checkin.
Dunno if I remember all the things I missed while testing the integrated source control some time ago.

Hi,
Could I ask for a bit more information about your environment so that I can either track down the problem or provide a workaround:
o Which specific version of Repository are you using?
o Which version of Windows?
o Does the workarea you're connecting to have a check-in branch set? (if you use Edit workarea... in the RON, check the Checkin branch page, and let me know if it's set to <None>).
I'll also have a look back at the 3.2 code when I'm back in the office tomorrow to see if I can find out what's causing the exception.
About the indication of status: this is one area where JDeveloper 3.2.3 is quite limited. The underlying addin API we use to integrate source control into 3.2 didn't have the flexibility we needed to display a state indicator in the navigator (in 9i, it's a whole lot more flexible, and we have very nice "overlay" icons that tell you what state a file is in). The only way to tell if a file is checked in or out in 3.2 is by looking at the Source Control menu for the file to see which items are enabled / disabled.
Thanks,

Visual Studio 2013 slows down + crashes when using Source Control features.

I have spent two full days trying to resolve this issue but no luck so here we go,
I have created a project using Visual Studio Team Foundation Server plug-in in the past. Later on I switched to
Microsoft Git Provider.
Now when I connect to that project in the Team Explorer and double click on the solution to work on it locally it somehow changes the plug in to Microsoft Git Provider automatically and of course I can't
Commit/Commit and Push since I receive following error in the Team Explorer,
An error occurred. Detailed message: Failed to open directory 'C:/Users/.../AppData/Local/Application Data/'
Manually changing the plug-in to the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
results in a broken Team Explorer as below,
With Settings leading to an empty pane, and also a warning in the Team Explorer's Changes page telling me the message below if I click on Pending Changes...
Microsoft Git Provider is not the current Source Control plug-in. Change Plug-in
And manually selecting the solution from Solution Explorer, right click and
Add Solution to Source Control, leads to never ending hour glass and (Not responding) visual studio.
New Projects
Creating a new project is straight forward, unless I "Add to Source Control" is checked. If so, again never ending process if Microsoft TFS plug-in is selected in the tools and eventually me Ending the Visual Studio task. And a VERY long process
(40+ mins) if I have chosen Microsoft Git but that finishes successfully rather.
New TFS project from Team Explorer
If I create a new project in my Online Web Studio
Click on Open with Visual Studio Link => Opens and connects to a my newly created TFS in team explorer.
Clicking new in Team Explorer under Solutions to create a new solution and bind it to this Repo
leads to straight crash of Visual Studio and restarting attempt of VS.
So I really can't use Source Control from visual studio other than cloning GitHub's existing repo's on Visual Studio and Committing my current Microsoft Git managed projects.
I have attempted
Repairing Visual Studio (no luck in results)
Devenv.exe /setup (no luck)
Trying to scrap the SCC info on my solution then at least it won't get picked up by source control then I can Check it in as a new project. (no luck and the solution picks the Microsoft Git upon opening it by clicking on the .sln file.) I have followed
these steps in this stack overflow answer.
And lots of mucking around like removing my workspaces almost Thousand times and putting them back, binding and etc.
I am really stuck on this and it's holding me back from staring a new project (which is problematic using Adding to Source Control) and unfortunately is dependent on the old project (which is developed under Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Plug-in which
is throwing tantrums)
Would like to hear you pro-s input on this
Using
Visual Studio 2013 Community edition (recently switched from Pro to Express to Community)
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Git tools
Git windows installation
Nuget Package manager

Hi Mehradzie,
Based on the description, seems you're working with Git team project in Visual Studio Online(formerly Team Foundation Service). I'd like to know whether you mean Visual Studio Git command tool as the plug-in, and if you're trying to create solutions/projects
with Visual Studio and add them to the created Git team project.
From the screenshot, you're not connect to the Git team project by using Team Explorer. To work with Git team project locally, you can follow the instructions as below:
Connect to Git team project by using Team Explorer, after that you might install Git tools if you connect to the team project for the first time
Clone the remote Git repository to a local git repository and set the path to local git repository
Create a solution and select Git source control, also saved to the local path of the local git repository
Select your branch, and then click "Changes" and Commit the changes
Click "unsynced commits" and push the commit to remote git repository
You can also refer to the links below for more information about getting started with Git in Visual Studio Online.

While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"

Explanation:
DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
'i' stands for INSERT,
'u' stands for UPDATE,
'd' stands for DELETE.

Robo HTML 9 will not open our project from Source Control after initial start.

We have a project in version control that we have been using forever, since 2003 or so and many versions of RH. Now that we have upgraded to 9, this project will open the first time in version control and work normally. Once you close the project and attempt to reopen from the starter screen, it opens just great, just not in version control. The files are still set to read only. I have done this several times and the only way i can work on my project in version control is to act like i am opening a project from scratch, then it needs to overwrite all of my local files with the server files. It would not be so bad but I am 3000 miles away from the server and 13 hops plus a slow firewall on the other end. While this has never been a problem in the past it is a big problem because it takes hours for all the files to download and overwrite my local files.
This only happens with RH9 and Version Control 3.1. RH8 works no problem. So, I don't know if this is a RH9 starter problem or a Source Control Problem. Maybe I will make a similar thread in the RH area. I'll wait to see if I get any useful hits from this one first.
It is very strange, I had RH9 open for several days because I was afraid to close the project for this reason and yesterday I published for the month so the heat is less right now but today, it opened with no source control. If I go to Source Control the only thing i can select is put project in source control. That is how it got into source control after converting to RH9.
We have another project that seems to open from version control normally but we can only save topics in HTML view. No useful answers to that topic after a week.
Got any ideas???
I have tried different folder names, different paths, etc.
Thanks,
dv

Ok, here is a wierd one, I used the add to version control icon in the menu bar, It already knew the path so I figured I'm the only one who has been editing these files for the past few days so I clicked add to version control. It added it. I closed and reopeded and still had the same files checked out. Closed, checked in all, then reopened and it is working in SourceControl. Strange that after opening from source control and closing that you need to reopen and tell it to put the project into source control. Obviously some flag is not getting set somewhere. This might help others having problems reopening source control files.

Multi-authoring with source control with RH10 and RH11

Situation:
Writer A is running RH10. Writer A opens Project A, from Visual Studio Source Control, which is connected to a Team Foundation Server.
A new employee, Writer B, has been given RH11.
Writer A can't install RH11 until after mid-June because of tight schedules (can't afford any upgrade problems).
Writer B is supposed to work on the same Help project. (We know that RoboHelp does not support checking out the same file at the same time.)
If Writer B configures her version of RH11 to work with TFS and Source Control, can she open Project A and work on it (from Source Control) without causing problems for Writer A?
Thanks.
Carol Levine

If Writer B is not using Source Control or it is competely separate from Writer A, possibly but I still would not be comfortable.
I think I would rather upgrade Writer A and I note your reservations. It's your call but it's like being between the devil and the deep blue sea. Neither is ideal.
So far it looks like Rh11 upgrades have been OK.

How can I add a Website Project in a solution that should be excluded from source control?

Using VS 2013 update 4
I currently have a solution with a couple of Class Library Projects and Web Application Projects and all of these are bound to a source control (VS Online). Now I added an Existing Website Project in the same solution by choosing a Local IIS instance. However,
I don't want this Website Project to be in source control.
I have tried File > Source Control > Advanced > Change Source Control ... and then clicked on the website project and then clicked Unbind. By doing this, it seems that the project was unbound. However, as soon as I close the solution it asks me
to save the .sln file and seems that it restored the Scc*** info in the file.
I also tried editing the .sln file and set the SccProjectEnlistmentChoice* = 0 (of the website project, under GlobalSection) and then set the ProjectSection of the WebsiteProject to
SccProjectName = ""
SccAuxPath = ""
SccLocalPath = ""
SccProvider = ""
instead of "SAK". This actually worked for me but everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio alerts an error saying "Unspecified error". This is the closest I got into solving this.
Is there a proper way of doing this? I think the proper way should be the "Unbind" method but it seems that it's not working as expected.
Let me know of other solutions.
Cheers!

Steps to export B2B Project and Source Control.

Hi,
I need steps to export a B2B project for source controlling it and deploying the code to higher environments.
Right now the coding is done in DEV , We want to push it to TEST.
Thanks for all the help.

What files should not be checked into Source Control?

Good afternoon.
Running RoboHelp 11, integrated with Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio 2010.
When my two colleagues recently "got" the latest project files from Source Control, they also got items that had been removed or deleted. For example, I had removed all conditional build tags from my project, but their version still included the build tags. Eventually, thanks in part to an old post from Peter Grainge, we realized that the PSS in Source Control contained a lot of that old information. We deleted the PSS and stopped checking it into Source Control. Problem solved. No more conditional build tags or unwanted Single Source Layouts, etc. (I think the PSS got checked in by our Release Engineer when he was trying to solve some other problem. Two years ago it was not being checked in.)
I vaguely remember reading something somewhere once upon a time about not checking certain RoboHelp project management files into Source Control. So far I've not found any such information in the RoboHelp Help or online.
Does anyone know where I can find a list of RoboHelp HTML project management files, such as the PSS file, that should never be checked into Source Control?
Many thanks.

Looking for Source Control suggestions

I'm a non-professional "at home" programmer and want to set up and experiment with Source Control. The available options seem to be CVS, Subversion and Perforce, although I gather that CVS is 'old technology' replaced by Subversion.
My requirements (desires)
A) Run on 10.4.11
B) integrate with XCode, but can be accessed without it when desired
C) have a GUI interface (can use command line, but prefer GUI)
D) can store non-text documents (like Word Processing and Spreadsheets - not necessarily graphics)
What are advantages/disadvantages of Subversion vs Perforce?
What are the best GUIs for Subversion?
Any suggestions / advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

There are actually quite a few more than that. Plus, Perforce is commercial software. I believe it can be used for free under some circumstances, such as yours.
It sounds like you have bought into the Subversion propaganda There is nothing wrong with CVS. It is super easy to setup and use. It is more a competitor to Subversion than being replaced by it. In fact, I would now call Subversion 'old technology' replaced by Git.
My requirements (desires)
A) Run on 10.4.11
They all do.
B) integrate with XCode, but can be accessed without it when desired
Most do.
C) have a GUI interface (can use command line, but prefer GUI)
Most do. There may be 3rd parties that have build GUIs in some cases.
D) can store non-text documents (like Word Processing and Spreadsheets - not necessarily graphics)
They all do.
I can't answer any other questions as I've never really used Subversion or Perforce. I tried to install the Subversion server but gave up because it was way too complicated. I like CVS - sweet and simple.

APEX Version/Source control

Hi,
I would like to know how other people are managing this. We have developed our own way which works 99% of the time however there are some flaws.
We require that more than one user be working on an application at a time and that these different pages can be released to production at different times.
We have some pretty large applications, some business critical.
1) We export the full application into our CVS application
2) We export each page individually and assign module numbers as we do with apps forms etc
3) Initially the full application is released to prod
4) Any subsequent page changes are done to the page export and that page only is released. The revision is increased on that page module.
5) If any changes to shared components are made then the full application is released.
All updates are stored in packages which we manage as per our normal apps packages without any problems. Our problems are with apex applications.
Let's say user A has exported page 1 of an application and is working on a large change.
User B is also working on a very small change which involves adding a new item to a list.
User B wishes to release his change but cannot do so at page level because of the shared component - he must release either full app or do a separate export for that component.
He cannot release the full app because user A is still using it.
The only thing he can do is do an export of the components and then import that. This is then not version controlled. It is not acceptable for us to have to export and manage every single component individually (I know you can do them as one whole but then if two users are modifying shared components then the issue arises again!)
There is always a mis-match between the application full export and the pages. If we ever had to recover an app, our strategy is to install the full app and then the individual pages. This isn't ideal however so long as we keep things up to date then we have to accept it.
Does anyone have any better procedures than this?? With APEX becoming more and more popular then I believe it needs to become a little more formal in this area. Or perhaps I am just missing something?
I've read the thread Source/version control with APEX? but it doesn't really relate to the issue above.

Hello Chris,
I'm not sure how you organized your project, but a typical APEX project for me has different components:
- PL/SQL where all business logic is in
- External JavaScript files to do some client side things
- External CSS files to handle the look and feel
- APEX application(s)
So for all of the above you want source control. We use Subversion. For the first three (plsql, javascript, css) I guess it's trivial how do this as they are just files.
For APEX you can export your application every night (and even split it into different components if you want). So that gives you one or more files as well which can be loaded in Subversion.
If you want to do team development in APEX; we use following features:
- Locking of Page
- Build Options
- Entering Comments
If it's a very big project you might want to split your APEX application in multiple ones which can work together (same Authentication scheme, same Theme etc. by Publish and Subscribe option).
APEX itself is also build in APEX, and they use different applications as well, but you don't see it in APEX itself, you just see it by the changing APP number in the url.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with all of the above, but this is roughly the way we do it.
Hope that helps and give you a clearer view.
Regards,
Dimitri

After upgrade from TFS 2010 users cannot view source control

I recently did a in place of upgrade of TFS 2010 to TFS 2013. All of my users permissions stayed in tact. The users (contributors) cannot view any of the source control in either in VS 2010 or 2013. Since I am the administrator I
see everything and have no issue. Is there something that did not get brought over in the upgrade?

Hi Rrenn49,
Thanks for your post.
You upgraded to TFS 2013 Update 4? There’s no any issue or warning during upgrade process?
What’s the detailed message they received when the contributors try to view source control files?
Please manually check the contributors group’s permissions on your TFS Source Control.
If you add a new user into your contributors group, this new user can access TFS Source Control correctly?
If you have any further research of this issue, please share your experience here.
