[Subclipse-users] RE: Small issue with Subversion?

Hi, Bill.
 
This appears to be a minor defect in Subclipse. If you cancel or 'X' out
of the Lock dialog box that pops up when you first try to edit a file
which has the property svn:needs-lock, the lock pop-up feature does not
work on subsequent attempts to type information into the file.
 
I found two other workarounds to this problem in addition to the one
that you discovered (restarting RFT):
1) After you cancel out of the Lock dialog box you can invoke the Lock
dialog box again by right-clicking on the affected file and selecting
Team > Lock. You can then lock the file and work on it.
2) After you cancel out of the Lock dialog box you can invoke the Lock
dialog box again by closing the file, reopening it, and then trying to
type in it again. This will bring up the Lock dialog box.
 
I did not see this problem listed in the Subclipse defect reporting
system and thus have Cc'ed the Subclipse user community on this email to
see they want this submitted as a new issue or if they have any
questions on the problem. [We are using Subclipse 1.03 running on IBM
Rational Functional Tester. I attached an environment details file to
this email.]

Subject: Small issue with Subversion?

All,
 
I ran into a small issue just now.
 
I was in the process of editing an existing file. I got the prompt to
enter a comment as to reason for lock as soon as I tried to edit it. I
started to type and realized I needed some information for my comment so
I canceled out of it. I got the information and went to edit the file
again. I did not get prompted anymore and could not edit it. I checked
the properties and it was not locked. I then exited RFT, started it up
again and then I was able to get the lock prompt again and continue the
edit normally.
 
I then tried the cancel again with a different file with the same
results but if I then did a manual lock I could edit it without needing
to exit RFT.
 
Bill
