checkin consistently fails

[brydon]

I cannot checkin a particular file in vault 3.0.5 (2833).

I've tried deleting the file and recreating it. I can checkout. When I attempt to checkin, it begins the transaction only to fail with:

Item $/Code/Trunk/src/Common/Model/ApplicationPasswordSetting.cs caused the transaction to fail: An item with the same name or object id already exists in the selected folder.
Transaction failed

Did you delete the file and recreate it within VS.NET? Are you doing the checkin from VS.NET?

Deleting a file from within VS.NET does not delete the file from the Vault database. More info here:

I deleted the file from the related csproj as well as the file system as well as the vault client. I will try doing that process again, however, that doesn't feel like a proper fix to me. In this case, this is a new file so I don't mind losing it's history but if that wasn't the case I would need a way to resolve this without losing the file's meaningful history.

I tried deleting it everywhere I can think of and then creating a new file, same result.

I was able to get past this. For some reason, an add event was showing up in the list of changes. Unchecking that event during the checkin allowed it to complete.

thanks,

You might want to go into the Vault GUI client and just remove that Add operation from the pending change set, as it will continue to be included in commits until it is removed (assuming the Add operation is not valid anymore).
