.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Source Safe / March 2006VSS 2005 sometimes does not check out
I set VSS 2005 to check out automatically when editing which works in 80% of all cases. In the other 20% I can change the file, but VSS doesn't check the file out. If I check it out manually later, then Diff and CheckIn works fine. If I don't check it out, then VSS doesn't know that it have to check in and so the changes are saved locally, but not in SourceControl. I used Subversion before, and that is my first project with VSS 2005, and I have to say, VSS is very slow and (see above) buggy! Hi Rainer, Is it possible the files that don't get automatically checked out on edit are already read-write on disk? QueryEdit (the service called before an edit happens ) does not checkout a file if: - the file is already read-write on disk - the editor/project missbehave and forgot to call QueryEdit before modifying the file the first time, so the file is already dirty in memory - in-memory edits are allowed (in Tools/Options/SourceControl/Environment page), and the checkout is attempted but fails for some reason (e.g. because the file is already checkedout exclusively by another user) In the last 2 cases you should get the file automatically checked out when you save it (again, if the editor does not missbehave and forgets to call the QuerySave function)  SignatureAlin Constantin This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. >I set VSS 2005 to check out automatically when editing which works in 80% >of [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > I > have to say, VSS is very slow and (see above) buggy! > Hi Rainer, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > I > > have to say, VSS is very slow and (see above) buggy! Hi, Thanks for your help and sorry for my second reply post, I pressed too quickly send msg ;-). To my problem, you were right, that many files didn't have their Read-Only attribute set. When I set it manually, it worked again. The funny part is, that I never changed them before, so VS or VSS changed them once wrongly. Thanks again, Rainer. > Hi Rainer, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > I > > have to say, VSS is very slow and (see above) buggy! Hi Rainer, We have seen a case when VSS2005 leaves incorrectly a file read-only when it should have been read-write, so I wouldn't be surprised if VSS2005 has another bug for the reverse case (I'm assuming you haven't used the "Make file writable" option for Get... or haven't edited files outside VisualStudio with other editors that could have made the files writable without letting you know this) If you find a repro case of such bug in VSS (when it incorrectly leave a file writable instead of letting it read-only), please let us know by opening a bug at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback and telling us the scenario.
