Build #1159a on Windows 2000/NT, Solaris 5.8, Red Hat Linux 6.2 (all JDK 1.3) Description: ============ If user deletes arbitrary folder that has already been added into the repository there should be deleted as well appropriate entry from cache and "Entries" file. Now if folder is deleted it disappears from the explorer for delay of 15 seconds and then is shown again although in fact it doesn't exist but user can create another folder with the same name next to "cached" one. This may be a little bit confusing. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Mount already existing CVS filesystem with at least one [Up-to-date] file but not directly under the CVS FS's root node. 2. Delete parent directory of this file and you will see that deleted folder disappears for 15 seconds and then is shown again. 3. Now create "New Package" with the same name as deleted folder has. There will be two exactly the same folders in the explorer next to each other.
BUG also appears in version : FFJ20
Hmm, probably the best solution would be to attach a special command with the delete action, that could provide some further cleanup i.e. "cvs release".
The deleted folder is not shown any more in the Explorer. However the item in Entries still exist, this will be fixed in the future.
Martin, could you please specify more exactly in so far future it will be fixed? Will it be ready to the NB 3.2 release or 3.3?
I would like to fix it for 3.2 release.
Copied the solution proposal from bug #9663: I think, that there are two ways, how to solve this bug: 1) remove the whole folder and remove its entry in parent's CVS/Entries 2) remove only the folder content, but keep all CVS/* intact. This will result in the folder's files being shown in the Explorer with [Needs Checkout] status. IMHO the solution might be: ask the user which way of folder delete s/he want to do and then perform either 1) or 2). Is this solution acceptable ? Any comments ?
*** Issue 9663 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
There has to be a way how to show a dialog for all deleted files at once. The appropriate support needs to be done in openide.
Resolved as wontfix. This bug is fixed in vcsgeneric module, which is used instead of vcscvs in NetBeans and Forte4Java builds. vcscvs module is not a part of builds any more.
OK
