System.NullReferenceException with Vault Client 3.0.6

mark.brown · Post by **mark.brown** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 10:55 pm

I may have something more deeply wrong with my machine environment.

Here's what I'm getting when I try to add new files to my source project using the Vault client.

Here's the stack trace...

See the end of this message, instead of this dialog box, for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Had Vault worked before on this machine, or is this a fresh install? Also, are there other machines in your environment for which it works?

Take a look at Help->Technical Support for what is reported to Vault for the configuration of the machine.

This is definitely not a "fresh install"

Vault + VS Whidbey integration was indeed working at one point. I recently updated to the Beta 2 Gold bits and it no longer works.

We have also tried upgrading to the 3.x Vault client in hopes that something was fixed in more recent builds.

The client does work on other machines in our environment with similar client workstation config.

Here's the "Technical Support" information reported by the Vault client:

Vault doesn't quite support VS 2005 yet - it will work intermittently. We will be releasing a Vault 3.1 Beta later this month that should be compatible with VS 2005 Beta 2.
