How do I get Srcsrv with SVNindex.cmd to index extern files ?

Question

I have recently made use of the SrcSrv feature in the Debugging Tools For Windows, but have noticed that when I index the pdb with SVNIndex.cmd it does not pick up any of the files that are from an external link.

Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

Have you found an solution for this problem?

I try to set up source indexing and a private symbol server right now, and i also have a lot of externals in my subversion projects. So when theres no way that the externals also are checked out automatically, there's not much sense in indexing the symbols for me.

Btw: i still dont got the indexing working right now, cause i always get the message

SSIndex.cmd [INFO ] : ... zero source files found ...

If you have found a solution (or can give me a hint, where my problem could lie) it would be nice!

Answer 2

Finally i got some time again to figure everything out:

To also get the files included with svn:externals property indexed, you just have to add the directories of them to /source= switch! easier than i thought! so if you have an external in "Ext1" dir under your Projectdir, just call ssindex.cmd with /source=Projectdir;Ext1 and you get all files in Ext1 also indexed.

I wrote a simple perl script, that handles the creation of the commandline for me, so you dont have to add any new external entry.

HTH, Stefan!
