ClearCase Find checkouts

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

Hello,

I am using clearcase, and before doing a build i’m checking if some files are checked out.
But, in the Clearcase find checkouts actions we must specify a view. I specified it but it’s not working.

I got this error :

Starting Directory: C:\Projets\FinalBuilderTest_view
Command Line: lscheckout -short
cleartool: Error: Not an object in a vob: “.”.
Action Failed
C:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\bin\cleartool.exe returned : 1


And when i specified a vob it’s not working too. I must specify an object in the vob

For example if my view’s name is test_view and my vob is test

test_view
test
Project1
Projetct2

Too check if there is checked out files in the view i must do an iterator with the path of the project1 and the project 2. And check for the checked out files in each iteration.

Is there a better way to do what i want to accomplish?

thank you

Hi Alexis,

Thanks for your post. I’ve added a “Recurse into subdirectories” option to the Find Checkout action (which wraps the cleartool lscheckout command.) I think this will give you the functionality that you need.

A test build with the new feature will be available shortly, if you’d like to try it out.

Regards,


Angus

Hi Elad,

The command arguments look correct according to the command line reference that I’ve found, unfortunately though, I cannot test this as our ClearCase testing machine was lost and we haven’t had a chance to set one up. Could you check whether the directory ‘R:’ is a valid object in a VOB?

Regards,
Paul.

Hi

In this case R:\ is subst to clearcase snapshot view and not a vob
And from what I have checked
if I enter the view root directory (i.e. C:\snapshot\view-snapshot-v9) I will get this error and if I add the VOB (i.e. C:\snapshot\view-snapshot-v9\COMMON) it will work OK.
