Existing environment:

- PB2019R2 (build 2353)

- SVN Server 1.10.6 (r1863367)

- TortoiseSVN 1.9.7.27907 (64-bit) client used on developer boxes

Recently migrated from PVCS to SVN. Initially, we ran into some issues/confusion with PB objects residing in both the ws_objects folder and also outside of this folder (remnants of old PVCS). Since, we've cleaned up our objects and recreated our source control repository.

Current Issue:

If I Open PB IDE, and do a Connect to Workspace (to create local repository with latest/greatest from SVN), my local repository is created and when I view the workspace in PB IDE, everything has a green dot beside it. When I open up an object (that I know was changed), I don't see the latest/greatest rendered in the IDE. If I view the object within the ws_objects folder in notepad, it is correct.

I then have to do a right-mouse button click on the target and choose 'SVN Update'. This will spawn a bunch of warning messages: 'An explicit update tried to update the path [xxxxx] that doesn't live in the repository and cannot be brought in.'. I then see Importing/Compiling/Regenerating/Successful get message for the object(s) I expected to get the 1st time. 

Why do I have to do an SVN Update immediately after doing the Connect to Workspace? Shouldn't I have already been given all the latest/greatest (HEAD revision from SVN)? We only achieve a successful get by doing an 'SVN Update' at the target level. If I do it at the workspace, .pbl, or individual object, I get a false success message (expected change not there). BTW, the PB Help implies that all of these actions yield the same result (which doesn't seem to be the case).

Aside from the 'SVN Update', we also tried Refresh with no noticeable improvement. But, I think Refresh is just for identifying changes made outside the PB IDE. We are strictly trying to utilize IDE only (trying to keep things straightforward for our developers with using SVN Commit and SVN Update).

Sorry for the frustration, but this PB/SVN integration has been squirrelly at best and hasn't given us much confidence in our source control system. Just seems like still a disconnect between PB/SVN. I really hope it's user error or configuration preventing us from feeling better about this. Any pointers or advice? Please let me know.

I also understand that upgrading to PB2019R3 may be helpful in some ways, but unaware of the specific SVN upgrades in that version.  

Again, any help is appreciated.

Thank You,

Jason Schultz
