Client 4.12 failed deleted folder and folder gone

Post by Tri » Mon Sep 08, 2008 12:22 pm

Hi,

A folder deletion failed (on of the child object was still checked out). Then this folder is no longer visible in Vault client. Fortunately other team members still see it. So I have deleted my Vault local cache and the folder is back again. Can you please test and confirm?

I was able to reproduce this. We probaby should handle this in a better way, so users don't have to delete the cache to get the folder back. I'll log a bug.

This isn't actually a bug. The folder doesn't show up for you (and only you) because it is still pending: you can see it in your pending changes. Deleting your cache effectively removed the pending change. If this happens again, you can simply delete the pending change (or resolve the other user's checkout and commit it).

Understood, then can you add the message above to the error message that appears in red in the message pane? This is a rather subtle details. A more explicit guidance would definitely help.

That's a good point. This is totally unexpected if you've only worked with auto-commit turned on. I'll log a bug to that effect.
