(Just seen late posting but may help others if not already solved) I have also experienced hours of pain using VSS and getting [Version not found] when getting individual labels. The problem is a 100% bug with VSS. However Microsoft kindly wrote a small .exe for me which will recursively get files with specific labels - yes I was also shocked. This works every time. I use the following target to call it from Ant:
<target name="fetch_labelled_VSSfiles"> <exec executable="d:\SSGet.exe"> <arg line="SSget -p'${vss_path}' -r -uuser,password -l${vss_label} \\builddv1\PolVSS" /> </exec> </target> The combined source code and .exe zipped are 60kb. I will post as an attachment to the list if requested.. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Close [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 20:22 To: Ant Users List Subject: VSSGET and labeling... hello all i'm attempting to get my ant script to check out labeled files from VSS and i'm having a couple of problems. :) if i label individual files in my project '2.0' and then try to get '2.0' from VSS i get the following error: extract_label: [echo] Extracting Label: 2.0 from VSS... [vssget] Set D:\Development\Build\Marketing as the default folder for project $/MKTG?(Y/N)N [vssget] Version not found BUILD FAILED D:\DEVELO~1\MARKET~1\build.xml:43: Failed executing: "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\\win32\ss" Get $/MKTG -GLD:\Development\Build\Marketing -I- - R -VL2.0 "-YLocalBuild, LocalBuild" at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.vss.MSVSSGET.execute(MSVSSGET. java:185) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform but if i label the project root '2.0' and thus label each file(the latest version of the file) in the project '2.0', my ant script works fine. however, i don't want the latest version of each file to be labeled '2.0'. we have added files, made changes, etc. and want to release things that work(no runtime errors) from a couple of days ago. the VSS help is pretty sparse on checking out labeled files from the command line and how to label them. attached is the ant script we're attempting to use. thanks for any help. andy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
