Renamed file shows as needing to be checked in

Vault 3.02

I renamed a file in my repository, in the vault client. I did a glv on the file, to get the file with the new name. In VS2003, I deleted the old file from my project and hard drive, then added the new(renamed) file into the project. The project works great.

If I go to the project's parent directory in the vault client, and right click to perform a checkin, it shows the original filename as needing to be checked in. The file doesn't show up in the vault client, and is not on my hard drive. I closed the vault client, and re-opened it to see if the problem would go away, but it hasn't.

I have attached two screenshots: one shows the checkin dialog, with the phantom file, and the other is a status search of the folder where the file used to exist.

I followed your steps and tried to reproduce this, but couldn't. It's possible that something didn't refresh correctly and your client-side cache file is incorrectly reporting that this file still exists.

You might try deleting one or more of your client-side cache files. I'd suggest CacheMember_CheckOutList (if you have Vault 3.x).

Details on cache files here:

Be sure the IDE and GUI client on your machine are closed when you do this.

Deleting the CacheMember_CheckOutList did not fix the problem, so I deleted all of the other cache files except Repository, LastStructureGetTime, and WorkingFolderAssignments.

That took care of the problem.

Thanks for the help. You guys rock!
