TestComplete and SVN

Hi everyone 



So I tried integrating SVN into testcomplete, and followed the instructons here 

http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/29318/



 
Modifying the installation failed and give me an error which I found out is a bug. My colleague managed to get it installed and it is way too slow

S
o we came to the conclusion the way to go was through the SVN client itself. 



We have TestComplete 9 and Tortoise SVN.



I have already read all the articles on teamwork and sharing projects etc but I am still having problems. 



I tried the svn:needs-lock property which I applied to my KeywordTest folder fine. 



The KeywordTests folder is Read only now unless you obtain a lock for a KDT. 

But users can still check the KDT's out and edit them, it is not until they go to save them that they now there is a lock on the KDT. Is there anyway in TestComplete to make the tester aware that there is a lock on the KDT besides having to go in to repo-browser and check?



It seems a bit useless if the file is read-only but a user can still make changes (not commit) but they would of still wasted there time making changes as they cannot save or commit



Any advice at all is welcomed :)






  • Hi Siobhan,


     


    What TestComplete version are you using? I've heard that there is a patch for TC 9.20 that significantly improves interaction between TestComplete and SVN. Did you apply it?
