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 Alexis Theriault ---

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 ---

Can you tell me when this build will be done? Thanks a lot. Alexis Theriault ---

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.
