command line get specific file with specific changeset

[Gerald]

Hi,

 

I've got two questions regarding the command line:

 

1) Is there any possibility to get all changes (files: added, changed, deleted, moved) for a specific changeset (best way without any local explicit workspace needed)?

 

I want to run a script on a central repo server (after-chekin) which send some change information to our Project management tool (Info: repo, changeset, branch, date, user, commit message, and affected files). Until now I found repo, changeset, branch, date, user, and commit message in the environment variables.

But I did not find any command to find the files that are changed. 

 

2) Is there any possibility to get a specific file with a specific changeset? 

 

like cm cat file.txt#/br:/main#cs:32@rep:Repository@repserver:localhost:8087

 

the cs parameter is currently not implemented, right?

Hi,

 

1) You will find very useful "cm diff" command:

 

cm diff cs:3@repository@localhost:8084    ( maybe you like more adding "--format={path}" )  More info: "cm diff --help"

 

2) "cm cat --help" command seems that is not updated but you are able to specify a changeset:

 

 cm cat foo.txt#cs:2@rep:default@repserver:localhost:8084

 

Best regards,

Carlos

1) You will find very useful "cm diff" command:

 

cm diff cs:3@repository@localhost:8084    ( maybe you like more adding "--format={path}" )  More info: "cm diff --help"

 

OK, when I run the command I get the error "Error: There has been an unexpected error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". For more information check the server log.

 

I had a look at the server.log

2) "cm cat --help" command seems that is not updated but you are able to specify a changeset:

 

 cm cat foo.txt#cs:2@rep:default@repserver:localhost:8084

 

 

This works finem thanks. However, if the file wasn't changed in a specific changeset I get an error "The specified revision was not found". But I can handle it.

[calbzam]

On the first question, are you adding some format options or only the basic command? Try only the basic command and tell me if it works(changing repository, repository server and port by yours)

 

cm diff cs:1@rep:default@repserver:localhost:8087

 

Regards,

Carlos

[Gerald]

I just use the basic command. Same error.

[manu]

Can you execute the cm diff ... command with the --stack parameter?

 

Please send us the output and the plastic scm version you are using. Thanks.

Strange: the command works now ...

Well, I did some server restarts in the meantime. 

 

Thanks

[manu]

Ummmm, ok if you have the error again I'll be happy to connect with you.

I am having some trouble with "cm cat" also.

 

Seems specifying the repository on the end of it has no effect unless the command is run within the workspace and matches the workspace repository

 

EG

 

cm cat /maturity/extranet/modules/area/transfer/act_transfer.cfm#cs:7963@default@192.168.16.5:8087

 

"The specified revision was not found /maturity/extranet/modules/area/transfer/act_transfer.cfm#cs:7963@rep:default@192.168.16.5:8087"

 

Eg if I am in the workspace for "default" repository this command works, outside of it it doesn't.

 

Can you please confirm this is a bug in 4.1.10.404 or otherwise show me the error of my ways

 

Cheers,

 

TiM

Hi,

 

I´ve tested the same version and its working fine on both Windows and Linux. Are you indicating the complete path of the file when you are not in the workspace?

 

eg (Windows): cm cat c:\tmp\wks5\foo.txt#cs:2@repo5@localhost:8084

eg (Linux): cm cat /home/tester/Documents/foo.txt#cs:11@default@localhost:8087

 

Regards,

Carlos

[manu]

Is the file under an xlink? In that case you have to upgrade your installation to 4.2.31.435/4.1.10.434 or higher.

 

Best regards.

Hi:

 

I'm having trouble with Plastic manual get of files (cat), and every time I do a test, at some point it fails, specially when the test project end in a real project and it get me nervous, because I need to trust in this tool.

 

My version is 5.0.44.505 (client and server)

I'm working on an Interface for Diff and Merge of Visual FoxPro binary files, so lately am doing a bunch of testing and cat command is indispensable for it to work

 

I'm able to do everything with the Plastic IDE, but when it comes to using cat, things doesn't seems to work as expected.

 

 

As you can see in the image, I've marked 3 changesets: 100, 107 and 110

 

This is the history of the binary file I'm interested (foxbin2prg.pjx), and marked in red the same changesets:

When I try to get this file with cm cat it throw an error:

 

C:\DESA\foxbin2prg>cm cat "c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjt#cs:100" --file="C:\Temp\test.pjt"
The specified revision was not found c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjt#cs:100

 

The same is with the other two changesets (107 and 110), even writing full repo information it fails. The problem is with Diff and Merge. Even if you can't test Diff and Merge with this binarym you can try to obtain the file with cat, that is what the script tries to do for later conversion to TEXT, but the important thing here is retrieving the files with the information that Diff and Merge configuration have for external tools.

 

This is a small example of Diff LOG for the 3 changesets of the test file:

operacion="DIFF"
sourcefile="C:\Temp\\d2fc2ae4-be23-4773-8f2c-b07c47f4c1c0.pjx"
destinationfile="c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx"
sourcesymbolic="cs:110@br:/main fernando"
destinationsymbolic="cs:110@br:/main fernando Workspace Revision"
-----------------------------------------------
operacion="DIFF"
sourcefile="C:\Temp\\f7e32c56-a04e-4458-9061-362df9a3193f.pjx"
destinationfile="C:\Temp\\ba27eb71-7a10-456f-a465-ca62bdf42434.pjx"
sourcesymbolic="rev:c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx#cs:107"
destinationsymbolic="rev:c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx#cs:110"
-----------------------------------------------
operacion="DIFF"
sourcefile="C:\Temp\\919bfabd-593b-4239-bf54-8c25a2aeb1f2.pjx"
destinationfile="C:\Temp\\dd000115-adac-480e-b3a2-3460ae7d386e.pjx"
sourcesymbolic="rev:c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx#cs:97"
destinationsymbolic="rev:c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx#cs:100"

And this info is obtained for the Merge:

operacion="MERGE"
sourcefile="C:\Temp\\e8b6b430-15e1-4b8c-99a4-991549e73f39.pjx"
basefile="c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx"
destinationfile="c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx#/main/Soporte_MNX#cs:107"
sourcesymbolic="c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx#/main#cs:110"
basesymbolic="C:\Temp\\b3894431-a073-4ada-8eb9-2f0e80a760b4.pjx"
destinationsymbolic="c:\DESA\foxbin2prg\foxbin2prg.pjx#/main/v1.15p1#cs:100"
output="C:\Temp\\9b139b4b-f99b-443a-9f09-46881abb6be5.pjx"
operacion="DIFF"

So the question is: Why is it failing? Why doesn't work the same way as de IDE?

 

I hope I can resolve this in the next days, because from january 2014 I have to explain to my team how are we going to work with this new SCM and I need to have the tools for Diff and Merge working without error. Cat command must work as expected.

 

 

I've attached my repo with a real (small) project.

 

 

Thanks.

Hi @fdbozzo,

 

I´ve just sent you an email.

Hi Carlos:

 

I don't know what could be wrong yesterday, but today all is working as expected. May be some error condition between the various tests let my PC KO, so for now I'm going to close this post.

 

Very thanks for your attention! =D
