CounterSoft.Gemini.SourceControl.VSS

add-ons

Hi!

We are using the Gemini Add-In for Visual Source Safe as this is a very useful extension.

I modified it in some details, which I would like to share with you:

1. In CSourceSafe::AssociateFileWithIssues() I added the lines

    if (sComment == NULL)
    {
        sComment = L"";
    }

    Reason: I found, that the (still sometimes used) Visual Studio 6 sometimes passes NULL instead of an empty string as comment
    and this would lead to an error (i.e. Checkin/Checkout fokm Visual Studio 6 would fail, when the Add-In has been registered).

2.: In CSourceSafe::AssociateFileWithIssues() I added the lines

    long lVersion;
    WCHAR sVersion[11];
    pIItem->getVersionNumber(&lVersion);
    wsprintf(sVersion, L"%li", lVersion);
    wstring sNameAndVersion(sName);
    sNameAndVersion += ';';
    sNameAndVersion += sVersion;

   and I replaced the line

    bool bRet=gi.AssociateFileWithIssues(sName,sPath,msINIFile,sComment);

    by

    bool bRet=gi.AssociateFileWithIssues(sNameAndVersion,sPath,m_sINIFile,sComment);

   In this way, not only the file name (e.g. "foo.h") but also the version number will be added to the Gemini Issue (e.g. "foo.h;12").

3.: I modified "SourceSafe.h" in the way, that "AssociateFileWithIssues()" will
     not be called for "AfterAdd", "BeforeCheckout", "BeforeCheckin" und "AfterRename"
     but only for "AfterAdd" und "AfterCheckin".

    "AfterCheckin" is better than "BeforeCheckin", as only then the NEW version number is provided.

    Associating the file already at Checkout does IMHO not make much sense,  as the Checkout can still be undone.

    And I do not understand, why after a Rename the old file name will be associated with issue -999 ???

Greetings from (currently sunny) Austria, Georg

Thanks for the feedback. We will amend this for the next release.

As for the -999 for the rename, this is a rename code as we need to update all files regardless of the issue id.
