value cannot be null parameter name string
I get this error message when using the Vault Client.
The message occurs after I have selected a reposotory.
I can then check in or check out as normal.

When I use Visual Studio I get the same error message but it prevents me from connecting to Vault.

I am using Vault client 4.1.4(18402)

Since the problem isn't specific to VS, let's focus first on the GUI client. Could you look inside your Vault Server Log to see if there are any errors at the same time as your client errors?

Does the repository name you are selecting have any special characters in it or is it entirely alpha-numeric?

Does anyone else receive an error when connecting with the GUI client?
