[Anthill] No VSS database (srcsafe.ini) found

[Eric Minick]

Hi,

I believe that the issue is that your repository.vss.root setting in the VSS
driver is wrong. Mine points right at the directory which houses that file.
If that looks ok, let me know and I'll try to be more creative.

Regards,

Eric

Hi,

I am trying to get Anthill OS to work with VSS and I am getting following
exception.

I found a few other posts regarding this:

http://lists.urbancode.com/pipermail/anthill/2003-July/001675.html
http://lists.urbancode.com/pipermail/anthill/2003-June/001581.html
http://lists.urbancode.com/pipermail/anthill/2003-March/001152.html

Based on suggestions I am using Network path (UNC) e.v.
\\Network-server\GUI\Data\vss as my "repository.vss.root". Still no success
...
I tried executing the same command from the commane line and it fails when
SSDIR is defined as part of multiple command.

cmd /x/c cd /d C:\apps\anthill170\work\Active\soft && set
SSDIR=\\Network-server\GUI\Data\vss && C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VSS\win32\ss cp $/Active/soft -Ybuild,bbb && C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss get * -Ybuild,bbb -R -I-Y -O-

However when I take out "set SSDIR=/...", it work fine (as follows).

set SSDIR=\\Network-server\GUI\Data\vss
cmd /x/c cd /d C:\apps\anthill170\work\Active\soft && C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss cp $/Active/soft -Ybuild,bbb &&
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss get
* -Ybuild,bbb -R -I-Y -O-

I am trying this on Win2000.

The only difference I see between my command and the ones posted by other
users is that their commands are
included in double-quotes and my version of anthill (1.7.1_162) does not put
quotes around ss commands...

I dont know what else could be wrong.
I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks,
-sharad
