Hi Simon,

One way to re-create deleted object when you have its source in a .SRD file is to import the .SRD file back into the same .PBL file. This technique works no matter what kind of source control you use incl. if you use no source control but simply now and then export all objects to source files as an "immediate backup".

You have an object in GIT source control. It was accidentally deleted, but that delete has not yet been committed. This is how to revert that delete.

Solution Resolved for PB 2019 R3:

1. Right-click on the pbl containing the deleted object, and select import

2. Import some previous version of the object -- 

3. Right-click on object in PB object browser and select "Open containing folder"

4. Right-click on object file in the containing folder and select TortoiseGit

5. Select TortoiseGit->Add

6. Click OK (DO NOT COMMIT)

7. Refresh the pbl in the PB object browser.

-- Now the object should have a green check. You need to do a GIT Revert
-- If possible do a right-click and Git Revert. If this gives errors, then do the following steps.

8. If this is identical to what is in the HEAD, then you need to make a change to the object.
TortoiseGit won't allow you to a GIT Revert on an identical object. And PowerBuilder will still think it is changed.

9. Right-click on object in PB object browser and select "Open containing folder"

10. Right-click on object file marked red (if green, go to step 8) in the containing folder and select TortoiseGit

11. Select TortoiseGit->Revert

12. Click OK a couple of times

13. Refresh the pbl in the PB object browser.

Hi Curtis;

  FWIW: What I do is keep a Deleted.PBL in my PB App's workspace. Instead of deleting a class, I move it to the Deleted.PBL. Then if I need to recover something, I just Move / Copy it back to the App's appropriate working PBL. Food for thought.  HTH
