GetBestWorkingFolder and Get latest file

both fullPaths and diskPaths contain 0 items.

Somehow you aren't connecting to the gui client and within your code as the same user. Working folders are stored per user and per machine.

How would I go about determining if this is the case? I do not think that I am connecting to my client but rather the server, which probably explains why I am not getting a working folder. This is the code that I use to login, where path is the path to our vault server. I believe I am using the same credentials, but I will double check.

public static bool Login( string path, string repository, string username, string password )
{
if( m_isConnected )
return true;

try
{
m_client = new ClientInstance();
m_client.Init(VaultClientNetLib.VaultConnection.AccessLevelType.Client );

if( !string.IsNullOrEmpty( path ) )
m_path = path;

if( !string.IsNullOrEmpty( repository ) )
m_repository = repository;

if( string.IsNullOrEmpty( username ) || string.IsNullOrEmpty( password ) )
throw new ArgumentNullException( "username or password is null or empty" );

m_client.Login( m_path, username, password );

// set the active repository
VaultLib.VaultRepositoryInfo[] repositories = null;
m_client.ListRepositories( ref repositories );

foreach( VaultLib.VaultRepositoryInfo repositoryInfo in repositories )
{
if( repositoryInfo.RepName.ToUpper() == m_repository.ToUpper() )
{
m_client.SetActiveRepositoryID( repositoryInfo.RepID, username, repositoryInfo.RepName, true, false );
break;
}
}

m_path = path;
m_repository = repository;
m_isConnected = true;
return true;
}
catch
{
}

return false;

I have confirmed that I am using the same username and password in both the GUI client and API calls.

try setting the working folder from your code before listing the working folder assignments.

Setting the working folder through code does work; however, I was hoping that I could use the working folders defined in Vault GUI client.

Is there a possible workaround?

Compare the value of ClientInstance.LocalStoreBasePath with the value the gui client is using for the cache location (Options->Local Files->Cache Location). If your app is running as a different windows user, these paths will be different.

The paths are the same.

Is the code for this app running on a different machine than the gui client you are using?

Both the GUI client and the application that uses the API are running on the same machine.

Can you give me a screenshot of the Cache location page of the options dialog from your gui client please?

From the API call:

m_client.LocalStoreBasePath
"D:\\Program Files\\SourceGear\\Vault_1\\Client"

GUI Client options

I don't think I can figure this out without more detailed information about your application and setup. Please email support at sourcegear.com ATTN: shannon with a link to this thread and your phone number.

I have sent you an email with a repro application. Thank you for assistance, it is greatly appreciated.
