Bug deleting files in Web Site project.

[VaultUser6022]

Hi,

We are using SourceGear Vault Standard 5.1.1 with Visual Studio 2008. The Source Control client used is "SourceGear Vault Standard Visual Studio Enhanced Client".

The previous client we had installed did not have this bug. 5.0.2.

I have web site projects that are local file system based. When I delete files under source control Visual Studio will delete the files from my work space but Vault will not put the change into Vault Pending Changes nor delete the file in source control. If I look into source control with the Vault client it will indicate that my workspace is missing the file that I deleted. When I select Get Latest from Vault the files deleted will be restored to my workspace because they were never deleted in the source repository.

If I manually delete the files using the Vault client the client will correctly add the delete as a pending change and allow me to commit it at a later time. Although the file change made in the Vault client do not show up in the Visual Studio Vault Pending Changes window for the Solution.

The type of web site I have added to my solution is created/added by the following instructions.

1. In the Solution Explorer right click on the solution.
2. Select Add then Add New Web Site
3. Select Empty Web Site
4. Set Location to "File System"
5. Specify the file system path where the new web site will be saved.
6. Select C# for Language.

If the solution was already under source control the new project will be pending as an add. After the initial commit attempt to delete a file in the web site. The file will delete from the local workspace but Vault will not delete the file from the source repository or even mark it as a pending change.

With the enhanced client I am expecting a delete action to be marked as a pending change. It is not doing this nor deleting the file. When I select commit changes the Vault client reports no changes detected even though Visual Studio did delete and remove the files from the project.

Is there a setting to get this working or is this a bug with this client?

I was able to reproduce this, but need to do some further testing to see if it is a bug or configuration issue.

This appears to be a bug and was introduced in Vault 5.0.3 when we made some changes to the IDE integration.

I've logged bug 15886 in our bug tracking database. It will be evaluated for an upcoming release of Vault.

Thanks for the report.

In the meantime, a workaround would be to delete the files in the repository with the Vault GUI Client, or revert back to the Vault 5.0.2 client for the time being.

Any news if 15886 will be addressed?

This bug is currently scheduled to be fixed in Vault 6, due out later this year.
