Error downloading file from Vault via web interface

bsihsv · Post by **bsihsv** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 12:43 pm

I am using version 4.0.5.15922 of the Vault Server and I am trying to download some files via the web browser (web sourcecode control area) and I am getting an error when doing so. I go to the file and see the revision history and when I click on the version number of the file to download it I get the message "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: String". Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks and let me know if you need more info!

Are you trying to download the latest version, or a version from history?

Was the file branched at some point? Are you trying to get a version prior to the branch?

Are there any errors in the Vault server log file the correspond to the download error?

The Vault log is sgvault.log and is in %windir%\temp\sgvault on the server machine.

I am trying to download the latest version (in fact on most things that I was attempting to get, there was only one (1) version)

No. We do not use branched files that I am aware of...we just simply check-in and check-out files.

This is what I get in the log:

Any thoughts?

Can you post ( or send mail to support at sourcegear dot com ) the URL that Vault is generating on the link that would get the file?

Email has been sent.

bsihsv:

I received the email. Unfortunately, one of the characters in your repository path has a hash ( '#' ). This is causing problems with the parser. We'll provide a fix in a later version of Vault ( and Fortress ), but unfortunately the only work around at this time is to remove the hash sign.

Sorry I cannot offer a better solution.

No problem as long as it gets fixed. Almost all the paths in our 50+ GB repository have '#' symbols in them, so I will unfortunately have to wait for a fix rather than change them all.

Thanks

Vault 4.1.2 contains a fix for this bug.
