Environment. Latest and greatest version of PowerBuilder 2022 R2

GIT Client Installed

TortoiseGit Installed.

I'm uncertain if this is a how-to or an actual issue.

We have been setting up some new repositories in Bonobo. I'm working with one of the developers trying to show him the ropes on how to use GIT. How it works with PowerBuilder, etc.

Everything got committed and pushed into a repository. I was able to connect to workspace and pull the repository down to a second machine.

We started trading commits back and forth. So, he would apply a change to an NVO.  Commit.  Then Push.

I would pull that change to my machine locally. I would make another change. Commit.  Then Push.

You get the gist. We were just trading commits off the master branch so he could see how that part works.

 

My next step was to show how the ws_objects folder with all the objects residing in PBL folders worked.  So, I made a change to the same user object outside of PowerBuilder.

After saving that object change that I made outside of PB, the object showed that it had been modified in the Windows Explorer environment, but it was not updated in PowerBuilder. (I fully expected this)

Right click on the workspace and performed a Refresh.

Now the object shows that it has been modified in PowerBuilder as well. AWESOME!!

Commit the change in PowerBuilder.

Push the change to the repository.

Success! The object change that started outside of PowerBuilder made it successfully to the repository. 

 

Now comes my problem. The commit and push occurred inside PowerBuilder.  I expected when I went back and looked in Windows Explorer, the overlay icon would show "Green". That the commit had occurred.  

It didn't. It still showed red that it had been modified. 

I tried to commit from TortiseGit. Couldn't do it. Even thought it was showing red, it showed that the object was fully up to date when I looked at what was currently committed, etc.

I ended up meeting with one of our other developers that is coming over to PowerBuilder from the .NET environment. But he has an EXTENSIVE amount of Git experience.

After doing some digging, he asked me to try a Fetch on the folder containing the objects.  

BINGO!!  Object status fixed in the ws_objects folder.

 

This led to a deeper conversation where he mentioned that you should always do a Fetch first against the repository before you do any pull.

Do any of the PowerBuilder Git hooks that are native to PowerBuilder handle a Fetch? Or would a fetch need to be triggered manually outside of the PowerBuilder environment. 

 

I dug through the help docs and didn't find many detailed references to the Fetch command.

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank You Everyone!
