Stop Vault from Checking in DLL / PDB files

[jyasgar]

Good Morning,

Is there an easy way to stop vault from checking in files in the \bin folder by default? There are times when we need to check in some files from that folder, but usually not. It seems to get doubled up and trippled up in the queue for these files then check-ins fail and I have to spend time deleteing them from the queue one by one.

Thanks,

What version of Vault are you using, and which version of VS?
What type of project is this? Is it a web project?

Good Morning,

Now using the 4.0.6.15954 client.

This is a Web project in VS 2005. When you right click on the project and check in, it is seems to randomly select DLLs and PDB files and checks them in. Then, next time you build, they get checked out. This stops others from being able to build because the files are checked out.

We can change everyone to be non-exclusive checkouts, but that is not the methodology we would prefer.

This issue should be resolved in 4.0.6. It's possible that a previous version pended the adds for those files and you're just now seeing them.

Open the Pending Changes Pane (under the View menu) and see if there are pending adds for any dll/pdb files. Delete them from the list. You should no longer see them when you check in.

This issue is occurring for me in version 4.1.3 (18336). I have a website with a class library reference, but whenever I build library in VS 2008, Vault adds the +pdb and +dll to the pending checkins. I have confirmed that the bin folder is excluded as well as *.pdb and *.dll.

What is going on?

The bad news is that a performance fix I made in 4.1.3 re-introduced this behavior.

The good news is that it's fixed in 4.1.4, which is now available.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
