Confusing "cm find revision" output

[Oscar]

Hi,

Please check out the attached screenshot, which shows outputs of the same CLI command executed from different directories. I expect the same outputs for all, but they don't.

Thanks,

Hi Oscar,

We do print the path in "workspace format" which means:

/src/myfile.txt will be: c:\myworkspace\src\myfile.txt at c:\myworkspace wk!

hi, Pablo,

The problem is the "workspace path" makes no sense at all. If you look at the third output of my screenshot, you may find the path is shown as "d:\plasticwksps\sandbox_test1\...", but sandbox_test1 is a workspace pointing to another repository, having nothing to do with my query.

I think "server path" makes much better sense. Is there a way to force-ouput 'server path'?

Thanks,

Hi Oscar,

I understand it doesn't make sense in your scenario, but normally people use it to create scripts to even access data on their wkspaces... and then it is very, very useful.

But, anyway, we'll add a flag or something so it will return server path...

Thanks,

Hi, Pablo,

Thanks for considering adding an extra option for returning server path.

I'd like to let you know that my use case is not odd. I may have an dedicated workpsace or repository for various project management scripts. One of the things I do in those scripts is monitoring my team members' check-in. If "cm find revision" returns query results that way, it's hard for me to parse exactly what files on the server have been affected by a check-in.

Plastic is ok with regular check-out/check-in. But I feel it needs more effort in improving ease of use in project management:)

Thanks,
