Checking out project from SCC loads the wrong user's workspace info.

Hello, and thanks for any help you can give me.



I've searched both this site and the web in general and can't seem to find the answer to this problem.



When checking out a TestComplete project from our Perforce SCC repository, TestComplete loads the wrong user's workspace info.  Specifically, it loads the user workspace info for the person who last checked in the project.

The info is apparently placed in the '.mds' file and stored in the repository at check-in.  When the next person checks out the project, the last person's info becomes the default info for the new person.



Ex. of info from my DMServer.mds file.

.

        <Node name="scc">

            <Prp name="auxpath" type="S" value="P4SCC#perforce.our.repositoryname.com:1666##rmccomb##DMStartup-rlm"/>

            <Prp name="localpath" type="S" value=".."/>

            <Prp name="projectname" type="S" value="Perforce Project"/>

            <Prp name="providername" type="S" value="Perforce SCM"/>

        </Node>

.

I am assuming that I'm missing some option to make TestComplete use only the local user's workspace info, but I can't seem to find the option or anyone else's indication of how they got past the problem.





Again, thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello Rickie,





    We investigated this situation some time ago. The information the "auxpath" parameter stores is generated by the SCC provider, not by TestComplete. So, TestComplete can't affect the data this parameter contains.





    To use Perforce as a repository for TestComplete tests, all users will need to work in the same workspace.

    And the local path where the project suite files are located must be the same on all PCs, and it should correspond to the Root folder of the workspace.

    Hello Alex,



    Thank you for your reply.



    I was afraid you'd say something like that.



    I suppose I'll have to deal with it.



    Again, thanks for your help.

    Hi Rickie,



    Any alternate solution for the issue? What about shelving the mds and pjs files and not checking them in at all.
