"Add Solution to Fortress" Hangs on large solution

Ryan:

Adding with the MSSCCI client and then trying to use the VSIP client from then on won't work.

More importantly, though, I'd like to understand why it's failing to add in either client. Can you turn on logging for the 2005 client and do the add, and send me the log? You can post it here or email it to ian at sourcegear dot com.

Your link to "turn off logging" is incorrect. It links to THIS same post. How can I turn on logging?

Sorry about that. Here's the link you want: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?p=5375

Can't seem to get logging to work. Here is my devenv.exe.config app settings section:
<appSettings>
<add key="enableLogging" value="true" />
<add key="classesToLog" value="all" />
<add key="includeLoggingStackTraces" value="false" />
<add key="includeThreadInfo" value="true" />
</appSettings>

I searched for Vault*.txt on my hard drive and nothing pops up. Any ideas?

I turned on logging and did not get a log file. However, I let the "add to vault" dialog churn for hours (basically all day). It finished and gave me a commit dialog with all my files ready to be checked in!! I click commit and a while later I got the following error message:

Updating the working folder failed for the following files:

Ryan,

It sounds to me like you're actually using the MSSCCI (2003-compatible) client. This is fine, it just means somebody more knowledgeable than me on that client will need to get involved.

To confirm this, can you tell me what menus/commands you're clicking on to add this solution to Vault?

I'm definitely using the 2005 client. I right-click on the solution and "Add to Vault".

Okay, my mistake. You're on the 2005 client.

Make sure your devenv.exe.config is in the same folder as devenv.exe for VS2005, usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE.

Make sure the appSettings section you've added is a child of the configuration node. It should look something like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <startup>
    	...
    </startup>
    <runtime>
    	...
    </runtime>
    <system.net>
    	...
    </system.net>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="enableLogging" value="true" />
        <add key="classesToLog" value="all" />
        <add key="includeLoggingStackTraces" value="false" />
        <add key="includeThreadInfo" value="true" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

The appSettings you posted look fine.

Also note that you should change the devenv.exe.config file while Visual Studio is closed. After the change, upon starting Visual Studio, if you have the 2005 selected as the default, you should immediately see a file at %TEMP%\VaultVsipClient.txt
