Exception checking out through command line client

[JPrime]

I'm writing some code to check out a file in vault using the command line client and I get this exception:

Code: Select all

---------------------------

---------------------------
Exception updating hidden and working file: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

<vault>

OK

Any idea why this might be happening? As a side note, the file is successfully checked out, but it's hard to check for a successful checkout when vault tells me that an exception was thrown

Does this fail in the GUI client as well? We've been seeing this error creep up recently. I'd like to know for certain what's causing this. Could you email me using the button below this post with your phone number?

JPrime was using a 3.0.1 command line client without a working folder set. Since 3.0.6, checkout and get will throw a more appropriate error when no working folder is set.

Silly me.

Thanks for the help, Jeremy
