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

Did you check out the *.fpj files? And did you remove the .CPD file before opening the project again?


I changed my settings to clear the CPD when opening. But I also think I made a mistake in SVN when committing. I did not select the files to be updated when I committed. (I've only committed single files in SVN before and am not an SVN expert.)

It seems to be working now in preliminary tests. I'll post again if I still have problems.

Thanks for the prompt response!
