Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Post by joao.carlos » Tue Nov 11, 2008 1:52 pm

I'm having a very strange error when trying to open a Fortress Repository.

1) I open Fortress Client - Version 1.1.0 (16216) - enter my username and password and hit OK.
2) When the Choose Repository window appears I select the one I want and hit OK. Then the error message:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Now, some interesting considerations:

1) I'm able to open all the other repositories, but the one I want it.
2) A friend of mine, logging in my machine with his credentials, is able to connect to the repository that I can't.
3) If I go to my friends machine and enter my user name and password, I'm able to connect to the repository that I can't on my machine.

Someone has already passed for that? Any hint?

This sounds like a Clear Client Side issue. You could try renaming CacheMember_ChangeSetItems. First, close Fortress. Then go to the cache mentioned in the link I just posted and rename that file. If you have been accessing multiple repositories, which means there are multiple GUIDs in your cache, and you don't know which to go into, just send me an email through support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth) with a link to this forum thread and I can provide you a way to figure out which GUID to go into.

Let me know if that works.

The way to prevent this in the future would be to upgrade to Fortress 1.1.3.

The problem was solved by doing what you said Beth. I renamed the file and I was able to access the repository that I wanted.

Thank you.
