There is no working folder specified

Using Vault v3.1.5 (3546)

I have been creating a batch file to add new VB6 projects to Vault. All seems to be working ok, except 1 thing. I have shared a folder using the command line:

Code: Select all

vault.exe -host "myserver" -user "myuser" -password "" -repository "MYREPOSITORY" SHARE -commit "$/Main Folder/Build Files" "$/Main Folder Copy"

I then try to do a get of this folder using:

Code: Select all

vault.exe -host "myserver" -user "myuser" -password "" -repository "MYREPOSITORY" GET -makereadonly -merge later -verbose "$/Main Folder Copy/Build Files"

And I get the error:

I have set a working folder in the vault client at the $ level and all my other folders inherit from this. The newly shared folder shows the correct inherited working folder in the vault client, and I can get from the vault client.

What is happening?

If you run the LISTWORKINGFOLDERS command, does it show the proper working folder for $/Main Folder Copy/Build Files?

LISTWORKINGFOLDERS simply returns:

<vault>
<listworkingfolders />
<result success="yes" />
</vault>

<vault>
<listworkingfolders />
<result success="yes" />
</vault>

This means the Command Line Client isn't seeing any working directories.

A couple of possibilities --

--Are you logging in to the Command Line Client as the same user that's logged into the Vault GUI Client where the working folders are set? Working folders/cache files are specific to each Vault user. You could try setting the working folder from the Command Line Client with SETWORKINGFOLDER.

--I couldn't reproduce the Get problem with Vault 3.1.8. We've fixed a number of CLC bugs since 3.1.5, so perhaps you've encountered a bug.

That makes perfect sense. I was using a user that we use for command line tasks only in the command line and a different user in the GUI. Therefore the command line user doesn't have a working folder set.

Thanks for your help
