CLC checkout command error

Hi,

I'm getting the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when trying to check-out a file that does not exist. Prior to installing 3.06 of the client and the server this command would return an expected exception "xxx does not exist."

The command in question is as follows:

checkout -user "someuser" -password "******" -host "somehost" -repository "somerepository" -exclusive -merge later -setfiletime modification "$/Mainline/Build/Databases/GenIns_DBRefs/CreateLatest.sql"

I've been able to reproduce this error on multiple client machines.

Can you confirm that this is a bug in vault that needs fixing. Can you also let me know when a fix is likely to be forthcoming.

Thanks in advance
Christian

We'll try to confirm this. Can you tell me which version you upgraded from?

Hi Dan,
We upgraded from version 3x (not suite sure what revision number).

OK, I've reproduced this - it looks like it was introduced in 3.0.6

The fix will be included in the 3.1 beta, due out this month.
