Vault History Viewer - full path to file

brewer531 · Post by **brewer531** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 3:20 pm

When viewing history for an entire project and all of it's sub-projects, we'd often like to know where in the hierarchy a file is located. The name column just shows the file name. For example, we have several files with the same name (Manager.java) that exist in different sub projects and we'd like to know which one changes have been made to. I can't figure out a way to do this. Am I missing something or is this a feature request?

We are using Vault 2.0.3.

Thanks,

Which type of folder history query are you doing - by "item" or by "version"? The by Item should already have the path. However, the Fodler Versions dialog from the "by version" query doesn't display the full path, which is a feature request that we do plan to do. I'd like to verify that this is what you are referring to though, in case it is something else.

I am doing by item history on a parent project and I don't see the full path to the sub project for each file. I attached a screen shot so you could see what I was talking about.

This looks like a bug. One other person reported the files coming back with just the name when the query issued was date based. Try doing the query without a date to see if that works, and we'll investigate to see what the issue is.

Ah, mystery solved. Without the date filter, it shows the paths with the date filter, no paths just the filename. Does everyone see this or is there some configuration we can change to work around it? We can always use no date filter for the time being, but that is a little slower.

We are using 2.0.3.

We are investigating it now, and will post back what we find when we know why this happens.

FYI, it seems to also happen when you filter by user. It may happen if you filter by anything.

I have also experienced this problem, but in a worse form.

If the path is missing (i.e. when filtering) then "Diff..." (etc.) does not work. Because "Diff..." concatenates the "Top.." and the "Name", and then something inbetween is missing.

Vauls says:

The requested version (140) of $/_sources/Compiler/typeConstraint.pro can not be found in the current repository. If this object has been deleted, you will need to undelete it and then try again.

In this case the file name should have been:

$/_sources/Compiler/typeAnalysis/typeConstraint.pro

OK, we've found this problem, and it will be addressed in the 2.1 release. Sorry for the inconvenience until then...
