4.0.5b VS2005 plugin no longer deletes files from repository

Using Vault 4.0.5b.

The VS2003 compatible plug-in used in Vault 3.5.2 deleted both the local file and the corresponding file in the Vault repository and now the VS2005 plug-in does not. It only deletes the local file.

Those two plug-ins are completely different VS interfaces.
  • VS 2003 = MSSCCI (used in most Microsoft products and is still used)
    VS 2005 = VSIP (brand new, only in Visual Studio 2005)
You can read more about them here: New VS2005 client versus existing VS2003 client

I tried once with mine and it did delete the file from the repository. Are you by any chance using the beta version of 4.0.5? If so, uninstall and then install the final released version.

Yes, we were using the beta version... v4.0.5b.

I upgraded the server/clients to the final released version and I still have the same problem.

An added note:

Since it is not actually deleted in SourceGear, I get latest version of that file using the client. I then go to my Visual Studio 2005 file based web project and refresh the view. It shows up in my Solution Explorer but with a + sign, meaning it is a newly added file. Okay then, I right click and my only somewhat logical option is to checkin. SourceGear fails on that attempt because "An item with the same name or object id already exists in the selected folder."

When you upgraded from the beta, did you perform an uninstall and reinstall? It doesn't see the beta as a different version, so it won't do a straight upgrade from that.

Also, if you are using the VSIP client (VS 2005 client) then you will want to check your Pending Checkins area. That delete could still be sitting in there and just need to be committed to pull it from Vault

When moving off beta, we uninstalled the v4.0.5 beta and installed v4.0.5.
