We would like to do a get from VSS with labels.
This is already possible in FB5.5, which is good.
But when you delete in VSS files who have been labeled in the past, and
you want to get in FB5.5 that label for *.sql only objects of all subfolders included
you don't get them.
You you test this please?
Hi Christophe,
Thanks for your post. I'm afraid that I don't quite follow what you mean, could you please explain in detail for me? Perhaps walking me through a simple example case would help. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It does sound like a bug report, though, so I've moved it to the Bug Reports forum. I hope that's the right move. :-).
Regards,
Angus
OK, In detail:
You create in VSS 10 .sql files who you label after you checked them in.
Those 10 files, get updates, new labels, blabla,
You delete 2 of those files (not permanent, just delete).
When you do a GET from VSS without setting the first label you created and specific filetype (ex: *.sql), you will get 8 files.
If you do a GET with that first label and the filetype specification, you also get those 2 files who have been deleted, but were present at the time you set that label. This is normal VSS behaviour.
In FB5.5, you can also do a GET with label and type specification, but there, we only get 8 files, not those who were deleted.
remark: you only get the difference in behaviour with those file specification. not when no are defined.
Thanks for filling us in.
This is a peculiarity of the VSS command line. Doing a Get without a filespec operates on the repository folder, but with a filespec (even *.*) will scan for files to operate on. For whatever reason, deleted files aren't included in the latter operation. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.
