CVS Versions problem [message #48633] Mon, 26 May 2003 22:53 Go to next message

I have a number of projects hosted at Sourceforge and previously created
in Eclipse 2.0. In Eclipse 2.0 I can browse the Versions in the CVS
Repositories view and can see my version tags, e.g. RELEASE_2_0_0,
RELEASE_0_9_0 etc.

However in Eclipse 2.1 when I browse the version tags for the same project
no version tags are displayed, i.e. when I expand repository_location >
Versions > my_project in the CVS Repositories view.

I have studied the Eclispe 2.1 CVS FAQ and searched the Eclipse site, is
this a bug or have I just not configured something new in Eclipse 2.1.

I am using Windows 2000 with Eclipse version 2.1.0 build 200303272130.

Regards,

Joss

The problem is that Eclipse needs to use a file to find out the tags of
a project (referred to as the auto-refresh file). By default, it uses
the .project file. You can configure Eclipse to use a different file by
selecting the project in the CVS Repositories view and choosing
Configure Branches and Versions.

Also, there is a bug in 2.1 (which is fixed in 2.1.1 maintenance builds)
which causes the tags to be forgotten when the version category is
expanded for projects without a valid auto-refresh file. The workaround
is to select a valid auto-refresh file for that project.

Mchael,

Thanks for your prompt reply. One further question, what would be a valid
auto-refresh file for my project? It was only ever created by Eclipse 2.0
and the tags were created by Eclipse 2.0, when I select Configure Version
and tags for my repositry, the .vcm-meta file and .project file are both
listed in the configure tags window.

Thanks,

Joss

Does the .project file exist in the repository? Typically, projects
created with Eclipse and committed as is work fine in the CVS
repositories view. The only problems have occured for remote projects
that do not contain the .project file. In these cases, the auto-refresh
file can be changed to any file that does exist remotely (e.g.
..classpath if there is one).

Michael,

All my projects have .project files in CVS, I have viewed the files
directly (using a web browser) and the .project file has been tagged with
a 3 tag versions, but these are not displayed by Eclipse 2.1.

Regards,

Joss

To see what's happening under the hood, you could follow the directions
at the following URL:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-vcm-home/docs/online/cvs_features2.0/cvs-faq.html#misc_ 0

If you look at the output after you expand the empty version, you may
see a reason why it failed. If it loks like an Eclipse problem, open a
bug report and attach the output.

Michael,

I have tested this issue with a new workspace and the version tags are
correctly displayed by the CVS Repository view. The project causing the
problem is in a workspace that was upgraded from an Eclipse 2.0 workspace,
this may be the cause of the problem.

I shall try and look at the CVS log file as suggested, I will also try
deleting and checking out a new version of the project from CVS to see if
this is a workaround.

Regards,

Joss
