[Anthill] VSS help needed

[Marcio Marchini]

	Thanks for the tip. Now the error changed.

1)In the Tomcat log:
-------------------
The system cannot find the drive specified.


2)If I run from the command-line:
-------------------------------
C:\>cmd /x/c cd /d C:\java\anthill-1.8.0.264\work\ContinuousBuildExample 
&& v:\w
in32\ss cp $/ContinuousBuildExample -Ybuilds && v:\win32\ss get * 
-Ybuilds -R -I
-Y -O-
Current project is $/ContinuousBuildExample

But nothing under C:\java\anthill-1.8.0.264\work\ContinuousBuildExample 
(empty dir).




	So, 2 separate problems.


In #1 I thought that perhaps v:\ was not mapped for the Tomcat service 
(I run as a service). I changed the properties of the service to run 
under my user, which has the v:\ drive mapped, but I still get the 
problem above. Is it possible that mapped drives are not mounted for 
processes launched as services even if using my login? Maybe they are 
forked before the network drive is mapped? I tried using the \\foo\bar 
notation but that one also failed with the same error, so I am puzzled. 
(Note: the \\foo\bar path has spaces, so I was suspecting that the space 
might be the cause of the problem, so I tried mapping v:\ to it)

In #2 the thing seems to work but no checkout happens. I suppose I 
should have got some files? I never used VSS, so please bare with me. My 
friend tells me he added the code to the VSS repository as 
$/ContinuousBuildExample... is there a way for me to double check? Just 
to make sure he did not make a mistake.

	Thanks,

marcio
