Vault with CC.NET - get latest/version history exception

[code]

Hi,

I have spotted this error recently in our CC.NET logs for a specific project. When CC.NET checks for any changes in the repository code base, Vault continually throws the following errors so the latest version history cannot be obtained.

Code: Select all

Starting process [C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client\vault.exe] in working directory [D:\[PATH SNIPPED]] with arguments [versionhistory "$/[REPO SNIPPED]/" -rowlimit 1 -host src.dev -user web.dev -password [PASSWORD SNIPPED] -repository "[REPO NAME SNIPPED]"]

Attempt 2 of 5: ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.CruiseControlException: Source control operation failed: . Process command: C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client\vault.exe versionhistory "$/[REPO SNIPPED]/" -rowlimit 1 -host src.dev -user web.dev -password [PASSWORD SNIPPED] -repository "[REPO NAME SNIPPED]"
   at ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.Sourcecontrol.ProcessSourceControl.Execute(ProcessInfo processInfo)
   at ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.Sourcecontrol.Vault3.ExecuteWithRetries(ProcessInfo processInfo)

CC.NET retries 5 times and then sleeps, which then continues all the time. Hence, the build never runs.

I cannot seem to get any other information from the logs that could lead to a solution so I was wondering what I should try next?

The repository appears to work fine with the GUI, including change history queries etc, so again this adds to the confusion.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Is there a corresponding message in the Vault server log?

Vault server log is in the %windir%/temp/sgvault directory on the server machine.

[code]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to your response.

There is nothing in the log file at the time of error. All we have is log in/out entries and the occasional "Exception in plugin thread : The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." exceptions on Vault requests.

Were you expecting to see an exception stack trace?

Where can I set debug logging for the Vault server so I can track the operation in more detail?

Many thanks

You can enable debug logging in the Vault Admin Client under Server settings-> logging.

[code]

Having enabled debugging and analysed what was going on it highlighted us having a config error so this is why it could not download the source from Vault.

Sorry for taking up your time.

No problem -- two heads are better than one. Glad you were able to figure it out.
