Can't add file to baggage files folder

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a javascript file I'm trying to add to the baggage files folder. However, for some reason, I can't add it. I'm using robohelp 6 and roboosource control 3.0. When I try to add the file, nothing is added to the folder. I was able to add the same JS file to another project that was created in X5. So I'm unsure what the prolem is.
I manually added the javascript file to the rhbag.apj file but it still doesn't seem to recognize that this file is added to the baggage files folder or project. I'm still getting a javascript error as if the file is not in the project.

Strangely enough, when I tried to add the javascript file from the other project's folder, it asked me if I wanted to overwrite the js file. But it still doesn't appear in the baggage files folder or in source control.

Any help is appreciated.
thanks

Hi Rick,
I did see this snippet as well and tried replacing the apj file. The js file is still not appearing in the folder and therefore not in the project.
I asked one of the other writers if they could do it. Maybe they can add it and that will resolve the problem.
Anyway, thanks.

Hi again bjman_001

Something about your reply sounds a bit “off”. You said: I did see this snippet as well and tried replacing the apj file.

Uhh, you don't replace the .APJ. Instead, you edit the existing .APJ.

You also said: The js file is still not appearing in the folder and therefore not in the project.

Simply adding the reference to the .APJ won't magickally copy the file to the folder. You would need to first ensure you physically copy the .JS file to the folder. The .APJ edit simply advises RoboHelp where to find it.

Hi Rick
Sorry--I guess my previous response wasn’t clear. I did physically copy the JS file to the local project folder first. I didn’t think it would magically appear. In terms of the .apj file, I edited it—adding the code for the script from another project’s apj where the same script is working—and saved it. But it’s still not adding the js file to the baggage files folder or to source control. When I view the apj file that’s in source control, it has the js code in there.

I then tried overwriting the apj with the apj from a project where the script is working (that’s what I meant by replacing), but that didn’t work either. To add another twist, the script runs without errors in preview mode, but not in the compiled html help.

I’m unsure what’s wrong with this project as this script is successfully working in other projects and visibly appears in the other projects’ baggage files folders. I hope this was a little clearer.

I’m open to any other suggestions.
Any questions, let me know.

Thanks
Brad
