Teamcity Clearcase Plugin tries to run update on a dynamic view and bombs...

Question

I'm setting up Teamcity 5 to point to a dynamic view. For whatever reason it has decided that my view is a snapshot (apparently without asking).

[09:27:38]: Nothing more to be cleaned. Build will be started as is.
[09:27:43]: update_clearcase_view
[09:27:43]: [update_clearcase_view] ccupdate
[09:27:43]: [ccupdate] cleartool: Error: 'M:\dynViewName\vobName' is not a valid snapshot view path.
[09:27:43]: [ccupdate] Failed executing: cleartool update -overwrite -ctime M:\dynViewName\vobName\build\..\..\vobName

How do I force Teamcity to know that this is a dynamic view?

Answer 1

As mentioned here, the root for the VCS view must be

 M:\dynViewName

not

 M:\dynViewName\vobName

---

In other words, do you have in your

Settings from the Administration > Edit Build Configuration > Edit VCS Root Page:

the following:

Type of VCS: ClearCase
ClearCase View Path: M:\myView
Relative path within the view: MyVob\MyProject
Use ClearCase: BASE
No Checkout Rules

?

If yes, it should interpret that as a dynamic view and act accordingly.

Make also sure the Vob is mounted in the server, for TeamCity to find the path.
