Hello Team

Usecase : I am deleting the file from a changeset
How do i get the deleted file name from a null versionhandle ??

IConfiguration configuration = tempWSConnection.configuration(component);
                    List changesFilesList = changeSet.changes();
                    for (Object changedFileObj : changesFilesList) {
                        Change changedFile = (Change) changedFileObj;
                        versionableHandle = changedFile.afterState();
                        filesToSearch.clear();
                        System.out.println(versionableHandle);
                        if (null != versionableHandle) {
                            filesToSearch.add(versionableHandle);
                            ancestor = configuration.locateAncestors(filesToSearch, monitor);
                    }

In this above code i get the versionableHandle as null for the deleted file ,How do i get the file name from this ??

In a file deletion scenario, normally the after state is null, but the before state is non-null... you just need to fetch the state that is not null to get the name of the file. (Note: It's possible for the before state to be null as well in merge scenarios, so you may need to look at the merge states).

My best guess, you can't.
