Unfortunately, I can not test it myself, because we currently do not have ClearCase license, since ClearCase is not officially supported. I did not find any help on cleardlg.exe. Does it popup it's own dialog for command options? Do you know the difference from cleartool? If you send me the desired execution string which will work, I can integrate it. cleardlg /? gives a dialog box containing: /addtosrc [/nocheckin] [/comment <string>] [/noprogress] /checkin [/identical] [/comment <string>] [/noprogress] /checkout [/reserved] [/unreserved] [/comment <string>] [/noprogress] /uncheckout [/keep | /remove] [/noprogress] /reserve [/noprogress] /unreserve [/noprogress] /mount /unmount /startview /stopview /viewprop /removeview /diffother /diffpred /options which would be followed by the filename, I guess. clearvtree has usage instructions: clearvtree [-all] [-nmerge] [-nco] [-skeletal] pname ... alternatively, there's cleartool lsvtree -graphical [-all] [-nmerge] [-nco] pname ... which also calls up clearvtree.exe I see the profile's Compare with Previous Version command is already using the -g option, which I assume is equivalent to -graphical, but the Version Tree and History commands don't. Unfortunately, the checkin, checkout, uncheckout & mkelem commands in cleartool don't have a -graphical option, so I guess cleardlg.exe would have to be called directly for those. If it would be useful, I could upload the 'cleartool help' output and/or the IDEA configuration file I mentioned (so you can see what commands it's using). Is it necessary to change all commands to use cleardlg.exe? Why don't we change just the Add command? It's still not clear to me in what cleardlg differs from cleartool for commands like checkin, checkout, etc. I can see the help for cleartool, but if you can attach the IDEA configuration file, I'll be glad to see how they do it. Thanks. Created attachment 4772 [details]

Actually, I can't see any difference either for the other commands,
except that if they fail cleartool gives a better error message while
cleardlg just returns a statuscode of 1. So it's probably best to
leave checkin etc. as they are (apart from history & version tree, of
which I think the -graphical form is better).
Set target milestone to TBD Thanks for the IDEA configuration file. cleardlg /addtosrc ... is used to add files. Also lshistory is executed with -graphical by default and clearvtree is used instead of lsvtree. This is fixed in the new clearcase-profile.nbm uploaded on the additional profiles web page at http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/index.html And could you verify also this one, if you would be so glad ? Thanks Andy ! Well, the Version Tree and History options open up their graphical viewers okay, but also leave an empty "Output of VCS Commands" window open on the screen; since there never will be any output (it would be displayed in its own window), I reckon the "Display Output" settings should be switched to false for these commands. Using Add To Source Control on a new folder, I got the popup dialog to enter some comments, but when I clicked the Okay button, in Netbeans I got the message "Command Add To Source Control failed. Check the full output of the command on the Runtime tab in Explorer. The error output follows: " in the Output Window. The runtime tab showed No Output Available, and the folder still displayed Local status. However, when I did a Clearcase->Refresh on its parent folder, the status changed to "\main\CHECKEDOUT from \main\0", which was what I had been expecting (I'd left the "Keep checked out" checkbox selected in the dialog). It looks like it had worked just fine, but Netbeans had mistakenly thought there had been an error. I assume if there *had* been a genuine error, cleardlg would have told me in a popup window anyway, so I guess it's safe enough to just set the Do Not Warn of Failure setting to True. I think the Refresh settings need changing too, as when I tried that myself and added another folder, its status still showed "Local" even after the Add had finished. Refresh Current Folder is fine when it's files that are being added, but when adding (sub)folders it seems to need the Refresh Parent Folder option (plus, since it still thinks it's failed even if we're ignoring that, Refresh Even If Failed needs setting to 1). Martin, can you comment on this ? Well, since Andy didn't reopen the bug, I assume that he is satisfied with current resolution. Verified in development build #200211140100 of NetBeans 4.0 instead of him. |
