Hello guru

I'm playing with the branches.
From what I understand, whenever I change the branch I have to do a 'refresh'.
is it right?

but .....

I noticed that the exported files on the  folders do not match. In particular there are many more files than objects in the corresponding pbl.
Is this a mistake?

A question arises as follows:
when do I refresh (after a branch change) as a powerbuilder?
a) all objects located in 'ws_objects \ *. pbl.src' are imported into the respective library
b) the library objects are imported again.

As you can imagine if there is no correspondence between files and objects in the * .pbl the result is different.

Thanks in advance for the answers.

I know it.
I have been using branches for a year correctly ....

I hypothesize a bug that is difficult to identify because the underlying cause is not clear to me.

I wanted to know if it happens to someone else too.

For the moment I have made a program that compares the contents of the directory with the contents of the pbl.
This allows me to identify problems.

PowerBuilder IDE provides no direct option for creating or switching to a branch, but you can create and switch to the branch using the feature of a Git client (such as TortoiseGit). The process of switching to the branch is as below (Take TortoiseGit as an example):

  1. Create a branch in TortoiseGit.

  2. Switch to the branch in TortoiseGit.

  3. (Important) Restart PowerBuilder IDE so PowerBuilder IDE can automatically switch to the branch.

  4. (Important) Right-click the workspace and select Refresh to synchronize the object and the PBL file.

  5. Get/Commit objects to the branch using the same options as before (as the master) in PowerBuilder IDE.

Hope it helps, Regards!
