Resuming a merge

[LoganBarnettASU]

While trying to check in my files I had to do a merge. I performed the merge and saved the conflicted file. When I closed the merge tool, the merge window still showed the file as needing a merge. I made the mistake of closing the merge window at that point. I'm not sure what to do to get back into that merge window. I can't check-in anymore because it says I'm in the middle of the merge. I've tried double-clicking on the merge-link shown at the bottom of Pending Changes as well as right clicking, but that doesn't do anything.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks!

Try retrying the merge from the same changeset. The items already processed are not going to be included in the new merge.

If I already have pending changes (for example due to a half-completed merge) nothing happens when I press "Process all merges" (as seen in attached screen-cast).

Is this normal?

And if so, how do I continue with the merge?

I tried to undo all changes to reset the merge operation. I then tried to merge again and pressed "Process all merges". This auto-merged some stuff and presented me with a manual merge dialog which I completed and saved.

After that I still had 15 items to merge with changes in source only, but when I pressed Process all merges nothing happened as shown in the video.

The merge contains xlink changes and I suspect it could be a bug related to that

Ummm nop! that's not a right behavior. Tell me if you are able to reproduce consistently the case and I will ask you for some data to fix the case.

It is reproducible. I have not been able to merge the branch yet.

Hello Soho,

if you undo the changes and you start in a clean environment do you get the same behavior?

[Soho]

Yes. It is even repeatable on a different machine using a different server.

I have not tried merging the other way, but I would rather not, since that would require a merge of +20.000 test files added to /main since the unmergable branch was created.

When I try committing the merge I get this error:

Item 37 is the source folder of the project:

C:\Projects\PS.Vision\PS.Vision_Test>cm ls --format="{itemid} {path}"

2 c:\Projects\PS.Vision\PS.Vision_Test

201 c:\Projects\PS.Vision\PS.Vision_Test\Configurations

2 c:\Projects\PS.Vision\PS.Vision_Test\Data Sets

36 c:\Projects\PS.Vision\PS.Vision_Test\ignore.conf

37 c:\Projects\PS.Vision\PS.Vision_Test\Source

Needless to say, this is not some random file I could live without.

Here is the bottom of the log:

I would really like to merge this branch to /main so please help.
