Command line client does not create '_sgvault' directories

Post by Frank.Neumann » Tue May 31, 2005 6:10 am

We use vault's command line client to get the latest version from the repository. Apparently the command line client (3.0.7) does not create the '_sgvault' directories required for baseline data. From our understanding these directories are required to obtain the correct status information in vault's GUI client. Because these directories are missing, the GUI client is not able to show the correct status information: Instead of showing the correct status it shows 'Unknown'.
As suggested by other posts we use the 'Store working folder data inside working folders' for the GUI client.

When using a combination of command line client and GUI client this problem really bothers users a lot.
Is this a known problem?
What is the target data for a possible fix?

Best regards,
Frank Neumann

The Command Line Client uses the same base libraries as the Vault GUI / VS.Net IDE clients, so baseline files will be created.

What options are you using in your GET command? For instance, using the -destpath option will do a GET to a folder on disk over-riding any working folder paths, thus not creating _sgvault sub folders.

Thank you for the hint - the - destpath option was the problem.
