"Couldn't find folder to delete: $/Foo/Bar"

Jon Sagara · Post by **Jon Sagara** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 5:20 pm

Hello,

I just upgraded from 3.5.x to 4.0.2. I can open the client on my dev machine without problems, but when I try to open the client on my server, I get the following error message:

Couldn't find folder to delete: $/Foo/Bar

After I dismiss the dialog, all three panes are blank. If I right-click in the left-hand tree nav pane, I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error message.

Any idea of what the initial error message ("Couldn't find folder to delete") means, and how to fix whatever the problem is?

Thank you,

Jon Sagara

Jon,

Thanks for the report. Would you be willing to send me a log from startup? There were some upgrade scenarios that produced this error, but I thought we had eliminated them all. Your log will help determine what we missed. You can email it to ian at sourcegear dot com.

More importantly, to get you up and running again, you need to reset your pending changes list. Make sure any clients are closed. In your client cache directory delete the CacheMember_ChangeSetItems file. Restart the client. It should open normally. Note that any pending moves/renames/deletes you had will be gone, and you'll have to re-pend them.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Done, and thank you for the quick reply!
