[Anthill] VSS Problems in Anthill OS

[Rooney.Dave]

Hello all,

I'm an Anthill newbie, and I certainly like what I see.  I'm having a
bit of trouble, though, getting it to work properly with VSS.

Things work fine except for retrieving the revisions from VSS based on
the dates of the previous build and the current date.  I took the VSS
command from the log file and played with it, and there seems to be some
issues with VSS itself (big surprise).  Basically what happens is that I
get a 'Version not found' message from VSS, even though changes have
been made and checked in.

I tried hacking the getRevisionsSince.pgl file, and removed the 'To'
date from the VSS command, which didn't help.  I was able to get it to
work by throwing dates a VSS until I hit something that brought back
results.  I then hacked the main .anthill file for the build, and set
the date there.  It worked fine, but then crapped out the next time I
tried a build.

This also happened when I told Anthill to force a build.  My
interpretation of 'force' is that the build should be performed
regardless of whether there have been any updates in the repository.  It
appears that Anthill is still looking for revisions when 'force' is
selected.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
