#384 Plugin blocks when cleartool encounters an error

[Alexandre Alvarez]

When trying to check in a file into clearcase, if cleartool responds with a prompt
i.e. "cleartool error", the plugin blocks eclipse and it is unable to proceed.

Hi,

Has file been changed?
Can you attach the log file from eclipse?

Hi,

yes, the file has changed, and the error log is clean, its not so much an error but it looks like its waiting for input from the user.

When i run cleartool with the same commands, i get the following prompt:

Loading "project\file.xml" (2853 bytes).
cleartool: Error: Label type not found: "DEV_LABEL".
Label 'XYZ' stored in N:\trigger_label_vieww6.txt is not valid. Not using it.

Do you want to apply a label? [y=apply, n=no label, c=create new label]

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Do you have a trigger in clearcase that tries to label file at checkin? To me it gives an error message when you try to checkin a file since it connot find the DEV_LABEL.

Hi Mikael,

i think the issue is the prompt, i found a similar issue for the netbeans plugin:

Thanks,

Hi,

I see the problem. It might be possible to open up a window with the information and the problem I see is more providing the input to the process expecting it. I will look into it for you.

I need to find a was to get a hold of the executing cleartool process for the ci command. It is a bit tricky so I hope that you can wait....
