This is in M3 I recently ran an update on my code and compiled. The compiled failed because update failed to grab a set of folders. The cvs console reported no errors. I went into the cvs repository view selected the missing folders - one by one - right clicked and said check out into and selected the appropriate hiearchy. There were four folders that were not retreived, checking out the last three worked but attempting the operation on the last folder resulted in this error "Can not add remote folder '1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10' to project 'projectx' as '1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10' because local folder '10' is already mapped to that folder. I closed eclipse and tried again, same thing. If this error happens during update I would expect the cvs console to report some kind of error. I have tried refreshing, deleteing the folder and getting it again. Nothing seems to work. I guess I have to check out somewhere and manually move the files into the correct spot using a file manager. cvs version Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server) ok (took 0:00.270) Error: Host 'hostx.com' is running unsupported CVS version 1.11. Although most functionality works, use version 1.11.1p1 or later for full support.
The only way that I could get it to work was to create the folder and add it to version control and then select update. There also seemed to be another folder which didn't get added and wasn't giving this error.
So apparently the problem is that cvs is issuing this command: cvs update -P "sourcecode" where as it should be doing cvs update -D -P "sourcecode" Any idea how I instruct it to do that? There doesn't seem to be options for this.
There is an option in the CVS project properties to enable/disable "fetch absent directories". Make sure this option is checked. There seems to be a bug somewhere that toggles this setting. I happened to me when I changed the sharing of a project. Did you change the sharing for your project?
Thanks, it was unchecked! I know I didn't toggle that option box. I haven't changed the sharing on my project the only thing that I can think of is maybe installing solar eclipse. Hmmm... I had someone else install solar eclipse but no repro.
