Problem with "Show differences" and sgdm

syntax2k3 · Post by **syntax2k3** » Mon Mar 31, 2008 3:24 pm

Hello,

I get a very frustrating error message when I try to click "Show Differences" on a local file.

SGDM starts and displays the following message

Code: Select all

Any idea ? It used to work but now it's somewhat broken :-/
Thank you for your help

What are the exact steps you are going through?

Are you selecting a file inside of Vault and performing a diff, or selecting a file inside of Visual Studio, or are you running sgdm as a separate program to diff two files on disk?

In the "Pending change set" tab, I right-click on a given file and select "Show Differences".

I tried to play around with the options but without result, so I restored them to default:

Diff
Program: %VAULT_EXE_DIR%/sgdm.exe
Arguments: /ro1 /ro2 /title1:"%LEFT_LABEL%" /title2:"%RIGHT_LABEL%" "%LEFT_PATH%" "%RIGHT_PATH%"

Which version of Vault are you on?

syntax2k3 · Post by **syntax2k3** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 2:00 pm

Vault Client Version: 3.5.1.4786

From what I can tell from your original post, it looks like a quoting
problem. The title string and the individual pathnames need quotes
if they contain spaces.

The command line arg dump that you listed is essentially:
for(k=0;k<argc;k++) printf(" %s\n",argv[k]);

so it is seeing the first title as "Repository" and the first file as "version"
and so on....

Command Line Arguments Received:

c:\program files\sourcegear\vault client/sgdm.exe
/ro1
/ro2
/title1:Repository
version
($/New_features/prefs.cpp)
/title2:Working
version
(E:\lchinese_wf\New_features\prefs.cpp)
C:\Documents
and
Settings\Jérôme\Local
Settings\Application
Data\SourceGear\Vault_1\Client\A3174A1D-9D98-4065-A801-65F485D9346F\admin\_sgvault\1851965827\2883.6423
E:\lchinese_wf\New_features\prefs.cpp

It looks like you need quotes around the titles and (at least) the first
actual pathname because they have spaces in them.

For example:

/title1:"Repository version ($/New_features/prefs.cpp)"

hope this helps,
jeff

Thank you for your help Jeff,

I thought the same thing about quotes and I tried to play around with the settings, but eventually I set them back to default because quotes are in there!

Program: %VAULT_EXE_DIR%/sgdm.exe
Arguments: /ro1 /ro2 /title1:"%LEFT_LABEL%" /title2:"%RIGHT_LABEL%" "%LEFT_PATH%" "%RIGHT_PATH%"

Are you saying then you get that error with the original default settings?

syntax2k3 · Post by **syntax2k3** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 1:02 pm

YES !

c:\program files\sourcegear\vault client/sgdm.exe

Did you notice that one of your '\' is backwards in your path? Try flipping that.

jeffhostetler · Post by **jeffhostetler** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 3:50 pm

Now I'm confused. I thought you indicated that after you set
things back to the system defaults, it was working.

With the system defaults installed, what error messages are you
getting?

Sorry for the confusion.

One day this error message popped-up out of the blue.

I tried to look at the settings (I never looked at them before) and tried to change them but it didn't help so I set default values back.

Maybe I will try to upgrade to a newer version.

I changed
%VAULT_EXE_DIR%\sgdm.exe to
%VAULT_EXE_DIR%/sgdm.exe

=> Still not working

Can we get the exact error with the default settings? I'm wondering if it's exactly the same or a bit different.

I think it is the same as what I've posted earlier:
