Hello,

I need a bit of refresh of subversion - svn...

 

I am using Powerbuilder 2017R2 connect to subversion.

As a new developer, I had to get a working copy of another developer since in subversion we do not have the workspace, targets, and pebbles.

I have created a new folder called "Daniel DISIS - Working"

I have copied the contents from the other developer inside my folder

Then I opened PB2017R2, open workspace and select the workspace in the "Daniel DISIS - Working" folder 

Then I went to the option : add to source control

 

Then clicked ok, 

and PB came back with the screen below to add all files to source control.

So at this point, I did not click put the comment and clicked ok.

I did not change anything, and it is prompting me as if I had made a commit.

I just need some advice.

Hi Daniel, Your version of PB is very old and it had very rudimentary support for SVN.  I recommend to you upgrade to PB 2022 R3 so you are on a supported version.  Please keep in mind some SVN operations you will need to do outside of the PB IDE using TortoiseSVN, such as branching.

Hi Armeen,



Yes exactly, that was my plan to migrate the customer to PB2022R3.

But since I just started this new project, my first task was to ensure I am able to support the current version.

My concern was that they PB2017R2 was unsupported and also running on windows 11 workstations.

Also, the customer is moving to Microsoft Devops Git soon. So another good reason to migrate to PB2022R3.



I have created the new branch within tortoise svn.



Do you see any issues with the new branch having the ws_objects folder vs the trunk which does not have ws_ojbects, and all the source objects are in the code folder?



Thanks



Daniel

When I looked at the copy received by the other developer, it was not version control as there was no .svn file

 

So I should create a branch from trunk to apply my changes

 

Finally the code got put into my branch related to my ticket

when looking inside my working folder associate to my new branch, I see this

 

But after doing my changes, I will want to merge my branch into trunk which looks like:

 

 

I think I did it the right way with a new branch and now I am seeing the ws_objects folder I am use to.

 

Can someone give me some advice.

 

Thanks

 

Daniel

Now you created some chaos :-(

It looks like the repository has an "old" structure because of the "classical" way how PowerBuilder used MSSCCI Providers - using PBGs and without a ws_objects folder.
