Automate Checkin Comments into Code

[rajofchennai]

Hi,
I'm new here. I checked the documentation but could not find it.
I'm looking for a functionality or plugin that would add the version number and checkin comments into the code Automatically.
E.g.,
When User1 checks in the code MyCode.cs into the valut with comments "Bug 1 has been fixed", the comment

/*********
*Version 1.2 by User1 - Bug 1 has been fixed*
**********/
using system;
......

should be added automatically to the code.

Does any one know if this could be done as an automated process ....?
If so can you please tell me how.

Any help or comment would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raj.

You're referring Keyword Expansion, which Vault supports.

To configure keyword expansion in Vault, see Admin Tool Help:
http://download.sourcegear.com/misc/vau ... efault.htm

Details are in Admin Tool->Repository Options->Enable Keyword Expansion.

I think the keyword you want to use for comments, etc. is $Log

I tried doing just that , but it didn't work. I enabled keyword expansion in the admin tool and put in $Author: $ and $History: $ and
$Log: $ but nothing expanded in the Vault. Didn't expand when I retrieved it, either.

I think it gets expanded at checkin. So keywords in files already in Vault will not be expanded until they are modified and checked in AFTER keyword expansion has been enabled for files of that type.

Mike is correct.

Keyword Expansion is not executed until the file is committed. In the file you mentioned, make a change, and then commit the change to the repository.

If you view the file in the repository (or get it), it will now have the expanded information.
