Values of variables in project wiped after checkout from SVN?

Hi All



It is not an SVN problem. I am using the persistent variables grid to store variables.



I beliveve these variables are stored in the .mds but when I edit the persistent variables the OS details shows the file was edited but inside the file using an editor I can see that the values are not updated.



Also which file looks after these variables is it;



1) .mds

OR

2) .mds.tcLS

Hi Tanya



I figured out that I was ignoring the .tcCfgExtender file because I thought this did not need to be committed to the repository.



Once I committed this with my project variables were present after checkouts.



Thanks

I believe this should be logged as a bug. If you use the SCM control in TC, it doesn't include the tcCfgExtender. So, now you have to manually add it to your source control and update it accordingly. You should either have it added or this variable value should be saved in the mds file.

That file is included in a list of files NOT included in SCM:

.tcCFGExtender - This file holds tester-specific settings for the project suite (such as the workspace layout).





The tcLS is also exluded and it contains:

• 
  .tcLS - This file contains tester-specific settings for the project suite or project (such as local paths to tested applications, local values of project and project suite variables).
