Items Missing From Pending Change Set

[Tom.Wells]

I'm using Vault in CVS mode and I have some files that will not appear in the pending change set even though they are edited. They will not add if I select Check-In. If I close and restart the Vault client then they appear. I'm using the 2.0.6 client. Here's the list of steps that I think will repeat the problem.

1) Open Vault and get all files in a folder
2) Close Vault
3) Open VB6 IDE
4) Open Vault
5) Share a new file with the folder
6) Get latest version of that file
7) Finish work in VB6 and close
8) Return to Vault, only 1 of three edited files appear in the pending change set
9) Select missing file and pick "Check-In" from right click context menu, screen blinks but file is not added
11) Close and reopen Vault and all files appear in pending change set list

Any ideas on what causes this or how to fix it?

Vault relies on the .Net framework to tells us when a file system file has been changed, and it sometimes doesn't send us events when it should. We scan all working folders on startup, which is why it shows up after re-invoking Vault.

We made a modification in 3.0 to scan just the folder that is currently selected, so we can ensure that the currently selected folder and the pending change set is always in sync, so you might consider upgrading to get that added functionality.

Ok Thanks. BTW the list of files does recognize that the file is edited. Its the pending change set that misses it. That makes me think that it's picking up the file changes from the OS through the framework. I can't get the pending change set to add the items even if I say "Check-In".

Thanks

I am getting this exact same problem in Vault 3.0.7. Except I've tried restarting vault and restarting my machine and the files aren't added. I've tried switching to VSS mode and they turn to renegade, then I switch back CVS - they are still reported as editted but don't appear in the "Pending change set" list. Arrrgh!

I've just been able to get them into the pending change set by checking them out - even tho I'm in CVS mode this seems to work. *sigh* Hopefully this is the end of my Vault problems.
