Default repository when there are multiple repositories

Post by SyntaxUnknown » Tue 16 Jan 2018 19:57

We have configured a single Review Assistant project with 3 separate TFS projects. When we are in the TFS History window, select a changeset, and then "Review Changesets", this creates a new review with the revisions, author, and description populated as expected.

The problem we're running into is that it is selecting the wrong repository and the files are all relative paths from that wrong repository.

So, for example, we have 3 repositories named "Product", "Implementation", and "Testing". When I select a changeset that should match with the "Product" repository, Review Assistant is instead showing us "Changes in Testing" and then all of the paths resolve to the Product folder through relative paths from "Testing".

If we manually "Add Revisions" and select the correct repository, this all works correctly.

Is there a way for the "Review Changesets" functionality from the History window to determine the correct repository or at the very least ask the user which repository should be used?

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the problem. We have reproducet this bug. At present, we are dealing with this problem. Most likely, we will fix it in the next maintenance release 3.6, unless major changes are required. This problem will be solved for sure in the next version which is now actively developed.

Hi,

Yesterday we published new maintenance release of version 3.6 (3.6.465). We fixed searching the correct repository during the creation review from history of TFS project https://cl.ly/0h181o2q1N3b
In future we plan to improve creating review from the collection history and we will add a few review-repositories to the review if user select multiple revisions from the different projects.
