cvs tools integration

[sebab]

Hi all,

Has anybody tried/succeeded integrating UE with cvs client? The best would be with TortoiseCVS
I'd like to able to at least diff, commit and update from UE, on currently edited file.
regards,
Sebastian

I created Tools to call Perforce. You should be able to do the same with CVS. For example to open a file for edit my Tool command is p4 edit "%f".

Hi Sebastian,

I'd also love to see CVS integration in UltraEdit, especially with the UltraCompare integration for diff's.

I agree with you that diff, commit, and update are essential.

Have you had any luck integrating TortoiseCVS ?

Thanks.

Hi toddm,

Have you created any Shortcuts to call a Perforce-Submit ? I'am not able to do that , because there is no plugin to raise the perforce-edit window.
Have you solved this problem, or any workarounds ??

I haven't created a P4 Submit tool. I guess because I usually submit more than one file at a time so I just use the GUI in that case if I'm working in Windows. I created edit, revert, sync, and diff tools. I have diff setup to use a graphical tool called tkdiff and it gets loaded properly so I'm not sure why submit would cause a problem.

I use WINCVS and TORTOISE in my Windows2000 OS.
I use UE as file editor
And In the UE tools bar I add severals icon for mys tools, like CVS command...

Check that the cvs.exe is in your path and creates tools like this that works fine:

example : PATH : ... ; D:\Outils\WINCVS~1.3\CVSNT; ...

VIEW STATUS OF SELECTED FILE
Command Line : cvs status -q %N%E
Working directory : %P
check output capture
In advanced parameters, set the icon image file

UPDATE SELECTED FILE
Command Line : cvs update %N%E
Working directory : %P
check output capture
In advanced parameters, set the icon image file

COMMIT SELECTED FILE
Command Line : cvs commit -m "no message" %N%E
Working directory : %P
check output capture
In advanced parameters, set the icon image file

With adding %modify% to the commit command you can edit the commit message when executing the command.

PS: Check that your CVSROOT path variable is set !
