Ver 8 Bug with VCS plugin

[Jeff81]

After opening a VCS connection and then go and right click on a procedure name in the browser and select differences an error message pops up saying "Function not valid for a" You click OK and then it says error creating file ....

But if you already have the procedure open and then right click on the procedure name in the browser and hit differences the same error message will pop up but if you just click OK the differences will function like normal.

We'll check it out.

I have the same problem with the VCS PlugIn.

I hope that this will be fixed soon because I am using the Differences function very often.

Further investigation showed that there is a problem with the Check In function too.

Suppose that:

1. You have checked out package A, but you don't have open window with its source.
2. You have window with the source of package B and it is the active window.
3. You select Check In from the context menu of the Object Browser for package A.
4. You get an error "Function not valid for a".
5. After clicking OK, the source of package B is saved in the working copy as A.pck and you are asked for comment. If you enter something and press OK, the wrong source will be committed in the repository.

Any progress on fixing this issue?
When to expect 8.0.1 (hopefully fixing it)?

 

[Marco Kalter]

Not yet, but this is planned for 8.0.1. I do not yet have a date.

This very annoying bug is still not fixed in 8.0.1 beta (1496). What's the current status?

 

[Marco Kalter]

This has been fixed, but it requires a new VCS Plug-In version, which will be available shortly. I will upload it and will post a link here.

 

[PeterW]

Thanks Marco.

 

[Marco Kalter]

Can you try VCS Plug-In version 1.2.3 and let me know if this fixes the issue?

 

[PeterW]

Yes! It seems to work fine. Thanks a lot.
