testing robohelp versioning with SVN. querying version control seems to freeze

[peter_xxx]

We are trying to use svn as the version control system with Robohelp.

We followed this tutorial: Integrating RoboHelp projects with Subversion | Adobe Developer Connection

As long as we try it with a new project that we built it seems to work fine.

but when we import the current robohelp project and try to open it, Robohelp freezes (or at least takes a very long time) in the status Querying version control.

The project uploads, updates and commits fine when we use tortoise, but it won't open in robohelp no more.

Does anyboy have any idea what the cause could be?

The robohelp project we want to use is one that was until recent versioned in robosource,

We also updated this project to robohelp 11.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter_xxx,

Have you located the project in the local C:/ directory? Did you by chance checkout the .cpd file?

I seem to recall and issue like this when I first used SVN with and older version of Robohelp. We resolved the issue by deleting the .cpd file (locally) before attempting to open the project. Pretty sure there is a setting in project preferences to delete the .cpd each time before opeing a project.

Hope this helps

Hi Craig,

The thing with the .cpd file is something we also had with our test project. But in the project we are trying to open, we did remove the .cpd file but Robohelp still seemed to freeze on the querying version control status.

thank you

Peter
