Merge Branches - Unhandled Exception

arden_dan · Post by **arden_dan** » Wed Aug 18, 2004 3:07 am

Hi,

One of our users has an unhandled exception (Object reference not set..) during a Merge Branches operation, when 'files are being retrieved from the server".

This error occurs only for one specific user on one specific machine. Using a different machine cures the problem, as does a different user on the same machine.

It is also specific to a particular folder in the repository.

The appearance of this problem coincided with our recent upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5.

I have the debug level server log, the client log and the details from the error, but I'd rather email than attach here.

For the time being we can get around this problem by choosing higher level origin & target folders.

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to see the stacktrace.

There is one known crash bug in the merge branches code. It only happens under certain circumstances, and only when the user option "Store working folder data inside working folders" is not checked.

If you have a stacktrace or logfile or such, please mail it to me at eric@sourcegear.com

Thanks!
