Deleted files and folders showing during checkin

Post by Cullen Waters » Wed Apr 26, 2006 11:39 am

This Vault client is version 3.1.8.3771
Your Vault server is version 3.1.8.3771

I have deleted several files and folders from my repository (just deleted, not destroyed permanently). Whenever I do a checkin on a folder that contains one of these deleted records, the checkin fails, because the deleted folder or item does not exist.

How do I get rid of these items?

Here is the error message I am receiving:
[4/26/2006 1:38:07 PM] Beginning transaction
[4/26/2006 1:38:07 PM] Item $/SpaceRocks/SpaceRocksUI/SourceImages caused the transaction to fail: The object could not be found. It may have been deleted, moved or renamed.
[4/26/2006 1:38:07 PM] Transaction failed

The folder in question does not show in the source control tree. When I go to the checkin dialog, the deleted folders are the last items in the list.

Also, this happens on renamed files. I renamed a class from Globals.cs to Constants.cs, and Globals.cs shows in my pending change set tab, and causes the checkin to fail, with the same error message

Try highlighting the orphaned item in the pending change set, right click and undo the action.

If that doesn't work, you might need to delete your client-side cache,

http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?p=24177, specifically:

CacheMember_ChangeSetItems - These are the items in the Pending Change Set that are not modifications to existing files in working folders (those changes are re-discovered whenever Vault examines a working folder). Kinds of pending changes that would be in this file are things like Branch, Share, Delete, Add File, Create Folder, and Rename operations. Deleting this file will cause Vault to forget about all change items stored in this file.

Thanks, undoing the actions on the pending change set tab worked.
