Hmm, thanks again Antoine - I've just tried that (and as it happens the
ini file IS called srcsafe.ini), but now I'm getting the following
output:

...
...
property
get_top_level
vssget
No VSS database (srcsafe.ini) found.  Use the SSDIR environment variable
or run netsetup.

Any ideas?

try to change this property
<property name="serverPath"
location="\\gold\source\SourceSafe\TNT"/>
it should include the name of the ini file of source safe on your
sourcesafe
server.

so for instance be :

<property name="serverPath"
location="\\gold\source\SourceSafe\TNT\srcsafe.ini"/>
if the ini file is called srcsafe.ini

Cheers,
Antoine

Hi All,


I have defined the following task to get everything in a project from MS
Visual Sourcesafe 98:

<target name="get_top_level" depends="init" description="Gets top level
stuff like build files and libraries.">
        <vssget vsspath="/toplevel"
                localpath="C:\dev\control\java"
                login="${login}"
                ssdir="${ssdir}"
                serverpath="${serverPath}"
                recursive="true"
                autoresponse="Y"/>
    </target>

However, it's not working properly and I'm not sure why.  I've tried
fiddling with various things, particularly the autoresponse setting.
Been looking at this off and on for the past few days in between other
things but haven't had much luck with the docs or mailing list archives,
so I was wondering if anybody might know what's going wrong?  The output
is as follows:

Build completed with 3 errors and 2 warnings. Time: 3 s

Line 133 is the line with the autoresponse setting on, but as you can
see the error message isn't particularly informative, and it fails on
the previous line if I remove the autoresponse attribute.  The odd thing
is that is does seem to have done a successful get on all the files it
should have done, but it seems that the task isn't completing properly
because of something that happens after it gets the last file.
Unfortunately I've no idea what this is.

In case it helps the relevant property definitions are as follows:

<!-- SourceSafe properties -->
        <property name="login" value="Bart Read,br"/>
        <property name="ssdir" location="C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio\Common\VSS\win32\"/>
        <property name="serverPath"
location="\\gold\source\SourceSafe\TNT"/>

I'm running J2SDK 1.4.2 on Win2000 SP4, with Ant 1.5 integrated with
IntelliJ IDEA 3.0.5.

I'd be most grateful for any suggestions.


Many thanks,
Bart Read
