Access Failure when trying to remove a project (VS2005)

Ward Bekker · Post by **Ward Bekker** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 8:33 am

Hi,

When I try to remove a project from a solution, I get the following error:

Your source control provider encountered an access error. Do you want to switch to working offline in disconnected mode? (Yes / No / Help)

-> i choose NO

The current source control operation cannot be completed. The source control plug-in returned the following error: Access Failure.

On VS2005, My Vault user account is admin for the repository.

With kind regards,

Ward Bekker

What version of Vault are you using?

What steps are you taking to remove the project? At what point do you get the error?

Client & Server both use version 3.1.6.

I try to remove the project from the solution explorer. I right click on the project node and choose remove.

We'd suggest enabling IDE logging:

Reproduce the error and email the log to Linda at SourceGear.com

Hopefully, the log will provide more information.

The log file is not displaying any kind of error.

We've tried to reproduce this here, but have not been able to. Can you provide us with the solution that is exhibiting the problem, or test solution where we can reproduce it?

One other thing to check: Do the bindings and connection info for the project and solution look correct when you view them in Source Control->Change Source Control?

Hi Dan,

Unfortunatly I'm unable to provide you with the complete solution. I cannot reproduce it in other solutions. I could provide you with the individual project and solution files, would that help?

One new thing i've noticed is that the same error also occures when i want to add a new project to the solution.

In Change Source Control all bindings look OK.

If you can get the error to occur with just the solution and project files, that might help us track it down, but usually we need the whole thing.

If you do an Open From Source Control on a different machine, does it work? If so, that would suggest a problem in the bindings on your machine, and unbinding and re-binding might help.

If the same problem exists on another machine, the problem probably has something to do with the checked in solution/project files. In that case, try a Get on various historical versions of the solution and see which change caused the problem to start happening on. (You would need to do a Get on the entire solution tree, which you can do from History by Version).

Hi Dan,

I fixed the issue by creating a blank solution file and re-adding all projects. That did the trick.

With kind regards,
