Problem in integrating TC 7 with VSS

Hi,

     I tride integrating TC7 with VisualSourceSafe. I placed source from my local into VSS and Configured to Source Control from TestComplete7 IDE.I have done it Successfully .But My Problem is eventhough i was not in checked out state , if i close tc and open the same project it is showing the projectsuite in Checkout state and when i go to context menu on the Project suite all items are disabled except addtosourececontrol , refresh menu etc.. can anyone help me how to over come this problem.



2. I noticed some points.

       a) when i write a new test case (keyword test) keyword test folder will be in checkout state.

       b)when i wish to run the test it prompts to checkout the Project.mds file and projectsuite.Pjs file

If our solution file is in checkout state by me. how can rest of the people works.



Please tell me one this does TC7 Projectsuite file allows any no of people to work asynchronously. if so tell me how?

feel glad if anyone replies me





Thankyou In Advance

Gita

    Hello Gita,





    1. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem. Please make sure that you added the TestComplete project suite from within the TestComplete GUI. I the problem still persists, can you provide us with the exact Visual SourceSafe version and steps to reproduce the problem?





    2. 

          a) when i write a new test case (keyword test) keyword test folder will be in checkout state.


    When you create a new keyword test, TestComplete needs to add the information about the new item in the KeywordTests node, so it prompts you to check out this item. 

          b)when i wish to run the test it prompts to checkout the Project.mds file and projectsuite.Pjs file


    As far as I understand, you created a new keyword test, but did not check out the project file. So, TestComplete did not make corresponding changes in the project file. In this case, every time you run the test, TestComplete tries to save the changes. To do this, it prompts you to check out the project file. The only solution is to check out the project file before recording a new test and to check it in after recording.

    If our solution file is in checkout state by me. how can rest of the people works.


    Currently, TestComplete always adds information about newly added items into the .mds file. So, the only thing I recommend is that you check in the project file just after adding a new test item, but leave the new test item checked out. In this case, other people will be able to work with the project while you are editing the newly created test item. I also recommend that you review the How to Organize Simultaneous Work With Shared Projects help topic.
