  2. Switching from cloud to local sync

    in Installation and configuration

    Posted

    - Are you using the sync view? From this view, you can select the branches to sync/replicate so you don't always need to clone the full repo:

    - Also we have a feature to support no-data clones. This way,  you only get the metadata and the data is downloaded on demand from the central server.

  3. "The root item can't be reverted" message blocking all reverts

    in General

    Posted

    Hi,

    You cannot revert the root item of the workspace to a previous revision.

    Quote

    I'm trying to revert my repository to revision 4, but every time I select a changest in the history and pick "Revert to revision" I get an error dialog that says "The root item can't be reverted". How do I get my old changes back?

    In order to do that, please open the branch explorer (or changesets view) --> right-click the selected changeset --> "Switch workspace to this changeset".

    Regards,

    Carlos.

  12. Find all private, not ignored files in workspace

    in General

    Posted

    Hi,

    - If you run "cm status --private", you should get a list of the private items not the including ignored items.

    - In the "Pending Changes" view of the Plastic GUI --> Options, you can customize the changed items to be tracked. You can select "private files" and unselect the rest of the changed items so they don't appear in the list.

    Regards,

    Carlos.

  14. Merging back from a branch that has been subtracted

    in General

    I didn't perform a cherry pick, just subtractive merge. When I tried to perform a cherrypick (first time and any following time) I immediately got "The merge search has finished; merge destination already contains source changes." message. Merge Options popup never showed up. 

    "Merge options" is not a pop up but a button you need to click to change the "Ignore emrge tracking" setting:

    Also I wasn't aware that I can delete changesets. How would it behave when I have changeset 1,2 and 3 on the same branch and I delete changeset number 2? Do I have to check in the deletion or am I deleteing directly from the cloud?

    You can only delete a changeset if it's the last changeset of the branch.

  17. Frequent authentication issue with Cloud

    in General

    Posted

    We have just released the fix that should help with this issue:

    Quote

    [Bug] 8.0.16.3805
    All platforms - Plastic & Gluon: The embedded diff/content view in the Pending Changes View sometimes failed with the error "Cannot download revision XXX from server: Data cannot read/write to Plastic Cloud. There was an authentication issue...". The error appeared when you changed the selected change, which triggered the diff/content refresh. It happened if your workspace pointed to a cloud repository and you kept open the Pending Changes View for 1 day or longer.

    Regards,

    Carlos.

  19. Branch-renaming caveats

    in General

    Posted

    Hi,

    If you rename a branch and there are other developers whose workspaces are pointing to the original branch name, they will get an error if they try to checkin changes because the checkout branch name doesn't exist anymore. They will need to update the workspace selector to point to the new branch name.

    Regards,

    Carlos.
