Commandline SetWorkingFolder Fails with root Working Folder

[wkrzystek]

In our vault repository, there is a repository folder ($/LOCAL) that has a working folder that is the root folder of a drive letter, in this case is "H:\".

The command line client returns an unspecified error trying to set the working folder if there is a trailing backslash in the working folder value.

• C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client>vault SETWORKINGFOLDER "$/LOCAL/" "H:\" -repository "Repository Name" -user MyUser -password MyPwd -host MyServer
  <vault>
  <error>
  usage: SETWORKINGFOLDER repository_folder local_folder
  </error>
  <result success="no" />
  </vault>

If I remove the trailing backslash, the command succeeds but now my subfolders all have invalid paths, ie. H:PROJECTS

• C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client>vault SETWORKINGFOLDER "$/LOCAL/" "H:" -repository "Repository Name" -user MyUser -password MyPwd -host MyServer
  <vault>
  <listworkingfolders>
  <workingfolder reposfolder="$/LOCAL" localfolder="H:" />
  </listworkingfolders>
  <result success="yes" />
  </vault>

I can set the working folder properly to H:\ in the GUI but I can't seem to make this work with the commandline. I'm using version 3.5.2 (5087). Thanks.

You've quoted the ending quote character, so you're trying to set your working folder to
H:" -repository

Try this:

vault SETWORKINGFOLDER "$/LOCAL/" "H:\\"

Thanks Greg. I had already tried the double slashes to no avail but your post got me thinking and I was able to make it work by simply ignoring the quotes around the working folder entirely unless there is a space in my working folder (in which case its not a root folder anyways).

I was able to get this command to work for me:

• C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client>vault SETWORKINGFOLDER "$/LOCAL/" H:\ -repository "Repository Name" -user MyUser -password MyPwd -host MyServer
  <vault>
  <listworkingfolders>
  <workingfolder reposfolder="$/LOCAL" localfolder="H:\" />
  </listworkingfolders>
  <result success="yes" />
  </vault>
