We want to see the history of the item (commits history) from within AX, this needs to be implemented.

Undoing the checkout will revert the object to a different model, check #10

This is to support #10 in case you issue command 'ADD' but file does exists in the repo.

AX will delete it and asks if file exists. If it exists, pull the latest and synchronize

Hi,

I followed all the instructions but keep getting "an Assembly containing type GTXLibGit2Sharp.GTXRepo is not referenced." error.
I have copied the whole of git bin to the client bin folder, added the gtxlibgit2sharp dll to the references in the aot etc...

Any ideas why this might not be working?

thanks

We don't want this since each developer will have a different repository folder

  <AdditionalFolders />
  <Models>
    <Model folder="" description="Gitax" aldlocation="" />
  </Models>
  <PluginSettings />

Would be nice if we knew in which branch we were by using custom status line

infolog.writeCustomStatlineItem("Branch: master");

Need to implement basic functionality for projects that are contained in a directory, example as VS projects are, as stated on #49

Repro-steps as per @weedgarden

1) VS: create VS project (Visual C# -> Windows project)
2) VS: add to AOT, build, deploy
3) AX2012: add VS project to version control
4) commit
5) AX2012: delete the VS project
I got @SYS343905 (The project cannot be deleted because %1 is checked out.) when trying the last step.
No pending objects. "Undo checkout" does not help.

   Did I understood something wrong or made a mistake? Or is this relevant to your last comment in #1 ? Thanks for your reply.

Start creating labels for the elements

Hi Rodrigo,
thanks for your work at gitax.
Anyway, as I think about using git with AX, I find using model-based versioning insufficient:

• When overloading single method of a class from another model (or lower layer? srry .. not sure), I have to move whole the class to one model to be able to use VC.
• I also can't version the changes in other layers - if update or external contractor changes behaviour of lower layer class, I won't even noticed it

Would it be useful to reimplement the file structure to reflect layer structure of AOT?
Or do you have other solution for such an issue?

To make this interface clean and simple, if we merge code using git, we supposed to issue the version control's sync from within AX. This would get all the xpo's in the repo folder and bring them back with 3 types of actions: add, update, delete.

Implement GEt feature from the history #2

After you add for the first time an item but decided to remove it, the version control should delete the file

Repro steps

1. Create new job for instance
2. Add it to source control (a file is created)
3. Undo checkout

Expected
File not to be there because since there's no history system should delete it

Actual
File still there

The implementation on #2 did not leverage the correct fields like:

• ItemPath
• FileName
• INternalFileName

Investigate those fields

History for renamed items is being tracked like the console git log

History for instance in class GTXDummyClass shows:

The same with console:

But in reality history should track to its name before:

Need to check if can be reproduced under other VCS control (like morphX or TFS)

Premises

• Both objects must be source controlled (previously added in AX source control)
• An AX object (like a class for instance) is part of projectB project node in AOT
• Project Node cannot be checked out

Steps

• Create classA under classes node
• Add classA to source control and checkin
• Create projectA under nodes
• Add classA under the projectA node
• Add projectA to source control and checkin
• Rename ClassA to ClassB
• Open projectA and verify the node got Changed

Expected

A change in the XPO: removed old object name, added new object name

Current

ProjectA will never get changed

Example expected result

When a file is in the index without any history, commit is null and will throw an exception

Creation of labels while in VCS in AX 2012 helps solving a past issue from AX 2009 - it creates a temporary label and when you checkin it will populate the ald file with the label id.

We should now investigate how we could fix this for gitax.

Need to implement DirectoryGetVersion continuing on #8

/// Gets the directory of the specific version.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="_localDirectoryPath">The local directory path.</param>
/// <param name="_item">The instance of the source control item.</param>

public FilePath directoryGetVersion(FilePath _localDirectoryPath, SysVersionControlTmpItem _item)
{
    return '';
}

Guideline on how to contribute with this project

When we initialize version control for the first time, we should be creating an initial commit after the creation of VCSDefinition.xml

When adding models to version control we should create one commit

Git brings new concepts to the tied VCS framework within AX. We might need to either disable or suppress some functionality (for instance, "checking in" in TFS against git staging and committing)

implement labels synchronization

Need to setup

user.name
user.email

After building with axbuild, I get this error and I can't figure out how to fix it:
Error \Classes\GTXPendingVCSObjects\process 53 12 Argument '_node' is incompatible with the required type.

Any ideas?

Looks like we're missing the time

Currently the model folder attribute under models is not set

<VCSParameters>
...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <Models>
    <Model folder="" description="Gitax" aldlocation="" />
  </Models>

This causes some problems like you can't guarantee all files will be source controlled and generates confusion while syncing the whole folder

Feature undo checkout in AX undo the modified file and synchronize it to it's latest version
We need then to check the last commit and issue an update command to the backend so it will resync the file
