Hi,

I am trying to pull out a specifically labelled version of code from Vault using v3.5.2 of the Vault NAnt tasks.

Let's say I have a structure a bit like:
Folder 1-->
Folder 2-->
Folder 3

Label 'label1' was applied to Folder 1. Thus when I select 'Show Labels...' on Folder 2 in the Vault client, the icon shows an up arrow to indicate that the 'label1' cascades down from a higher level.

However, at a certain point in my build script, I only want the source that is rippling down from folder2. (Let's say that folder1 simply contains stuff I'm not presently interested in).

My NAnt script is something like this:
<vaultgetbylabel url="http://server/vaultservice"
labelstring="label1"
username="*"
password="*"
repository="repo"
path="$/Development/folder1/folder2"
destination="C:/folder2"/>

This scriptlet fails (with a 'GetLatestVersionFailedException', which seems a bit inappropriate). If I change the path to '$/Development/folder1' it works. Ergo it seems that if you do a getbylabel you have to specifically do so on the folder from which the label is cascading down.

Can someone confirm that this is by design?

The result you want can be produced by the 4.0.x nant tasks. These nant tasks are based off the clc implementation. I would suggest trying to shell out to the clc for this one command to see if it performs the way you're expecting.
