I'm new to vault and not a huge fan so far, but I need to do something which would be easy in SVN or Mercurial but I can't figure out how to in Vault.
I need to Get a copy of the repository files as they were at a specific version. I've tried listing thei history and doing a get on a version, but that seems to only get the files that were checked in at that version.
How do I get the whole repository as it was at that version?
You can use labels on folders and files to set a "version", then in vault right-click on the folder/files, choose "show labels", and "check out" this label. For more reading, see the vault documentation on labels at http://download.sourcegear.com/misc/vaultpro/help/client/vaultprohelp.html
Within the Vault client:
Right-click on the directory you wish to have in its entirety at a given point in time
"Show History"
Select radio button "View folder history by version"
Make other settings, such as how far back you wish to go, hit "OK"
Mark "Version" you want, select "Get Tree"
The only feasible option will be to overwrite in place, so you may want to change the working directory at this point.

PhpStorm 2017.3
When right clicking on the project folder - in the Remote Host window - and selecting "Download from here" - the files then download from the server and overwrite your local project files in \PhpstormProjects.
Sometimes - in PhpStorm's "File Transfer" window - it will say "4 items excluded" or some other number.
Yet it does not give any further details about those items not downloaded.
Is there a setting to see full details of "items excluded"?
Or a log file somewhere that will provide more details?
Moving from comments, posting this as answer.
That's an expected behavior. In case of huge exclusions your upload log would get garbage'd. You can:
1) add "deployment" logging (article) - this would show excluded items in idea.log file (Help > Show log ...)
2) submit a feature request at JetBrains tracker to implement an option to show excluded items
I'm new to Mercurial and MercurialEclipse, and I think I'm not quite understanding this:
After I pull from the central repository (with Update After Pull selected), it is my understanding that all files are loaded form the central repo to my local repo. However, after I pull, I'm seeing the following:
Doesn't the star icon indicate that there are differences between my local copy and the central copy?
What am I missing here? How do I make sure that my files are the most recent copies?
Try right-clicking on your Eclipse project and select Team --> Refresh Status. I often have to do that for the status icons to be updated.
Edit: if you want to override all local changes, select the checkbox "Clean update (override local changes)" in the Pull dialog of Eclipse.
When you update it merges the local changes you have with the changes in the revision you are updating to. In the update dialog if you select the "force" checkbox it will revert any uncommitted changes. Other ways to remove your local changes are updating by right clicking on a revision in the history view and selecting "switch to", or use the "revert" dialog.
I have kind of an interesting problem...
So I'm trying to run a build every time I see a change on a directory in my SCM in Hudson. However, I don't need to pull the directory to run my script. Is there any way to check if there's a change in a directory, but don't pull it?
In addition, there is another directory which I do need to pull from Hudson at the same time. So basically I want something like:
On change of directory A or B:
pull directory B only
run script
I was told there was functionality like this in Hudson, but I can't find it. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!
In case anyone is interested, I was able to accomplish this with just Hudson and Perforce.
When using Perforce as the SCM (don't know about the others) there is a 'Use View Mask' checkbox. Checking that give you the ability to choose which directories/files in Perforce to poll without actually pulling those files. For example, I had in my view:
//depot/my_script
I didn't want my script to run automatically when I had a new version, so I put it int o the "Poll Exclude File(s) text box:
//depot/my_script
Which pulls the latest version of my script. Then I checked the Use View Mask checkbox and put:
//depot/my_code_to_compile/
into the View Mask box.
To make Perforce poll for changes, I just checked the "Poll SCM" in build triggers and then made it check every minute. (by inserting "* * * * *" into the Scheduler box)
So to sum up, with the variables set as above, my Hudson job had the following behavior:
check for changes every minute
On changes to //depot/my_code_to_compile/, the Hudson job will run
On changes to //depot/my_script, nothing will happen
The job will pull changes to my_script, but will download nothing from //depot/my_code_to_compile/.
I think you need to install the FSTrigger Plugin for this functionality. To what the wiki pages show this is supported in Jenkins, I am not sure about Hudson compatibility.
OK i want download the the following open source code: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/source/browse/calendar-v2-atom-android-sample/?repo=samples
I am lead to believe you need to use mercurial for this but have yet to find a tutorial on how. Why is there not a download zip file type thing for this?
I am using eclipse.
How do I get this example?
You can get each file individually by clicking it then right-click "View raw file" in the right column and choose "Save" (which may say something slightly different depending on your browser.)
I don't know about this project, but usually you can download the samples in the zips on the downloads tab
If you want to do it faster than that, you can find a Mercurial client for most operating systems at https://www.mercurial-scm.org/downloads.
Once you have Mercurial installed, running the command
hg clone https://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client.samples/ google-api-java-client-samples
will give you a full copy of the current version in the current directory.
Question:
How can I get a list of all checked out files per user in Sourcegear Vault?
Use of this functionality:
From time to time we have developers leaving files checked out and although this results in drastic punishment (they owe a coffee to the person who needed the checked out file) we are still left with files checked out and work held up.
We would like to display a list of all current number of files checked out by each developer. This way they can check if they have anything checked out before they go home or out the office.
In the Vault Client app, use the Search tab at the bottom of the window.
Select Search By: "Checked Out By" to see a list of all files checked out by a specific user, or by any user.
You can choose to search a specific sub-folder, or from the root, recursively or not.
To automate this, use the Vault Command-Line client (vault.exe)
vault -host myhost.mydomain -user something -password something -repository myrepo listcheckouts
Will give you a list, in XML, of all checked-out files and their users. You can transform the results, or use the command-line client's source code (provided as an example with the Vault .NET API) as a starting point to write your own version.
The various clients and APIs can be grabbed from http://sourcegear.com/vault/downloads.html - didn't want to link to a specific version that would be outdated after the next release.
