"URI has an authority component" error

Folks,

We set up a new 2.0.0.1 server to test LDAP integration. We have a user who has JazzUsers and JazzProjectAdmins roles. He has a Developer license assigned, and on a sample project, he is a Team Member.

When he starts RTC, his "Work Items" pane at the bottom of Eclipse says "Could not create the view: URI has an authority component." Then there's a nice long stack trace (which I've included below). Any idea what this could be?

Thanks,
Mike

OK, problem fixed! The user's problem was that his Eclipse workspace was a UNC path to a network share (ie, \\somecomputer\share\myworkspace)... Apparently that messes up a bunch of RTC client stuff. For example, it also told him when he tried to create a defect that he didn't have "modify process specification" permission, and only the header of the defect would show up. Very strange! I suggest maybe you check for a UNC path on the Eclipse workspace when starting up and inform the user that it's not supported in RTC, instead of this vague error :)

Thanks,
Mike

+1. I've been seeing this for a few weeks now but couldn't track down the source. A more meaningful error message would be much appreciated.

Hi,

please don't hesitate to write a work item against RTC. This way development will be able to see it, assign it and track the issue down.

Thanks,

Ralph
