Add Solution to Vault -- No applicable working folder

[ssloka]

I am trying to add a VS2008 C++ Solution to vault. When I do so I get the following:

"An error has occurred. The error message is:

Couldn't find repository path for C:\cticlient\include because there is no applicable working folder."

How do I set the working folder if it's not yet added to vault.

I had another project with the same error and was able to get it wired up by adding all the files to vault using the client, then binding the project, unbinding the solution, rebinding the solution which then caused Vault to prompt me to set the working folder. I then was able to unbind the project, delete from vault and add the normal way from VS.

I attempted this on my new project and couldn't get it to work so now I'm stuck.

I tried this on version 4 and just now upgraded to version 5.01 to see if that would fix.

Thanks,

There may be an issue with the structure of your project. Are all items under the directory which holds the solution file, or are items outside that folder?

One option is to set the working folder one level higher.

You can't set a working folder for a folder that you've pended for
creation, but you can set the working folder one level up.

For example, if you have:

$/trunk/<project_name> (the project that's bound but not yet added)

You need to set a working folder for $/trunk before you can add $/trunk/<project_name>. You can set the working folder for $/trunk in the GUI client.

Linda,

Thanks for the post. Actually I just figured it out.

I have a VC++ project and somehow the Solution file got placed in the "Source" folder. Which is a level under the header / resource folders.

I created a new solution a level above and then it would let me add to vault.

Appreciate the help even though I was the cause!

Thanks,
