Unable to add files with .vr extension to VS

Post by cwarford » Tue Nov 28, 2006 11:07 am

I am unable to add files with a .vr extension to Vault through Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. When I add the project/solution to source control it adds all other items relative to the project/solution to Vault fine, but class files with the .vr extension do not. It even adds the *.aspx.vr files ok.

Any suggestions as to why this is not working or what I can do to get them working would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Corey

Are the .vr files below where the .sln file is?

Have you checked in the Admin tool to make sure that it's not listed as an excluded file extension or that the folder it resides in isn't excluded?

What I've seen work is remove the problem files from the project temporarily, add the project or solution to source control, and then add the problem files to the project, and often they will agree to go in then.

Yes, the .vr files are below where the .sln file is located.

I have checked the Vault admin tool to make sure the .vr file extension is not included as an excluded file extension. As well I have made sure the folder that it resides in is not excluded.

I have also added *.vr to the list of Mergeable Files in the Vault Admin tool.

I have also tried adding the problem files to the project after, but it still will not allow me to add them to vault.

Any other possible suggestions?

Thanks,
Corey

I would say increase the logging level on the Vault server, try again and check the log. You can also send the log to me at support at sourcegear.com, Attn: Beth, and I can see if anything pops out at me.

By default, the Vault Server log file is located in %WINDIR%\Temp\sgvault\sgvault.log. Sometimes, it is helpful to place your Vault server in Debug logging mode. You may do this in the Vault Admin Tool, on the Server Options tab. After you change the log level, you will need to restart the IIS service by choosing Start->Run... and typing iisreset and hitting OK. Once IIS has been restarted, you will see more verbose log messages.

Client-side logging would be helpful as well. More information on how to set that up can be found here: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?p=5375

What is the size of the .vr files?
