Accurev Workspace broken

Question

So I have an accurev workspace that REFUSES to sync with the stream.

I have 99.999% of the files but there are a couple that were removed/added/changed what ever that aren't pulling to my workspace.

I have tried both of these solutions

Restoring a workspace at accurev

Forcedly update workspace in Accurev

For some reason

D:MyWorkSpace\ accurev pop -O -R . D:\MyWorkSpace

Still won't pull the files I can clearly see in the stream.

Answer 1

In order to force populate the file you have to do the above command but also give the fully qualified path to the file.

D:MyWorkSpace\ accurev pop -O -R .\subdir\thefile.cs

Answer 2

The correct way to use pop is to navigate into the workspace top directory and use "accurev pop -O -R .". However, this will only load files that exist as of the workspace transaction level. If there are newer files since that transaction, they will not be populated. It's very common to confuse update and populate.

In your instance, I recommend doing the following:

1. Run pop to download files and directories for the current workspace transaction level.
2. Run update to advance your workspace to current time. This will bring down new elements and newer versions of existing elements.

Also, include/exclude rules will impact what gets loaded into your workspace and any rules created in the workspace can override the stream configuration by omitting specific files and directories.

Answer 3

What are the actual errors and exact command syntax (if using the CLI) that you are using?
