RoboHelp 10 - SVN Issue

Hi there,

We are having an issue with RoboHelp 10 and SVN (Subversion 1.7.5).

Say, for example, I add three new topics to an online help project, close the project and commit the changes. My colleague performs an SVN update - she can see that the new files are brought down from the server. The new files are then visible in the physical RoboHelp project folder - so SVN has done its job. However, when she opens the online help project on her machine, the three new files are appearing with the red 'X' in the table of contents - suggesting RoboHelp cannot find the files (as per the image below). The files are also not displayed in the project manager pod. However, if we perform a manual import in the project manager, the files are added to the project manager and no longer displayed with the red 'X' in the table of contents.

This has only happened since we upgraded to RH 10 from RH 9. Could it be that there is some setting that we need to configure?

I wonder if it would be worth uninstalling and reinstalling the SVN plugin. Chances are that the RH10 update has disturbed something somewhere.

Hi there,

We don't use an SVN plug-in for our version control. All our version control is using Subversion outside of RoboHelp. This has worked fine in previous versions of RoboHelp - but now it seems to have a problem seeing the added files.

Thanks a lot,

Niamh

Yes, the three topics are updated with green tick.

We already have the following files set to ignore:

cpd

hhp

pss

SSL folder and ssl files

eHlpDhtm.js

Ldb

$rhvariable$.htm


Thanks for confirming that Niamh. I just wanted to check all bases. I think the best course of action is for me to try exactly what you have done. I have access to RH10 here (home) but not SVN. I will however have access to both tomorrow. Can you give me until then and I will let you know how I get on.

In the meantime you can always import any added topics. It would also be worthwhile knowing if you get the same problem if you rename / delete topics and then commit.
