Keyword Expansion Not working.

[Mike Jervis]

Hi,

We're using Visual Studio 6, with Visual Basic and Visual Interdev to
develop a big site.

We're using Windows 2003 server for the web servers, with FP
Extensions 2002 for the source safe integration.

We have two servers for two sites, one server doubles as the SS
server, one uses the database remotely. We have the same problem with
each server, and that is that keywords aren't expanded from within
Visual Interdev on Checkin.

Check a file out with Visual Sourcesafe Explorer, edit it, check it
in:
Keywords updated.

Check a file out with Visual Interdev, edit it, check it in:
Keywords not updated.

The srcsafe.ini on the SS server has the following:
; Allow keyword expansion for the following files... The
Expand_Keywords_Locally
; option means that when a file is checked in/updated by a user, then
the users
; copy in his/her working directory is also has its keywords updated.
Keyword_Masks = *.cls, *.vbs, *.asp, *.sql, *.PRC, *.TBL, *.xsl,
*.xslt, *.xml, *.html, *.htm,*.UDF,*.RUL,*.TRG,*.UDT,*.htc,*.cpp,*.h
Expand_Keywords_Locally = Yes

; Details of this section in MSDN KB article Q141504
[Keyword Comments]
*.cls = "'"
*.vbs = "'"
*.asp = "'"
*.sql = "-- "
*.PRC = "-- "
*.TBL = "-- "
*.UDF = "-- "
*.RUL = "-- "
*.TRG = "-- "
*.UDT = "-- "
*.xsl = " "
*.xslt = " "
*.xml = " "
*.html = " "
*.htm = " "
*.htc = " "
*.h = "// "
*.cpp = "// "

The srcsafe.ini also has this configuration, plus references the main
srcsafe with the data=\\server\share\vss\data etc.

When I CHECK OUT a file via visual interdev the keywords are expanded,
if I undo the checkout and do a get latest they remain expanded. If I
just do a get latest, then the keywords aren't expanded.

Could anyone shed any light?

Cheers,

I'm not sure, but this might be a known issue, that VInterDev/server
extension checkins don't expand keywords. Maybe someone from Microsoft will
chime in. If not, it might be worth a call to Product Support. Looks pretty
cut and dried from your testing results that it doesn't work, though.

Hmm, I can't check, because I don't work there any more, but I'm sure
at my last company everything was working fine.

I've changed jobs recently, and at the new place they've never worked
with interdev "correctly" everyone was checking in and out in VSE,
which seemed so clunky after working with interdev integration before.
(They were using VI, just not the SS Integeration)

Thanks though,

Mike
