Bug: Jazz SCM ".flags" metadata directory in wrong
Hi all,
using Jazz 1.0Beta2a I observed the following bug: My Jazz workspace location is "D:\Workspaces\myjazzws". I have created a new Project Area, and added a simple project to Jazz SCM. After importing the project into SCM, any subsequent changes never marked the changed files as "dirty", therefore they never appeared in the pending changes view until I hit the "Repair Metadata" Button in the "Settings->Team->Jazz SCM" section. In effect, I was not able to deliver any changes until I manually repaired the SCM metadata :( It seems that for some strange reason the SCM metadata is managed in the wrong location: a new folder "C:\Workspaces\myjazzws\.jazz3\.flags" has been created (notice the different drive letter). I guess this folder contains the SCM metadata which should actually be on the "D:" drive. The workaround was moving my workspace to drive "C:". As far as I remember, this was not a problem in earlier releases, so I guess it is a new bug. Thanks and best regards, Torben |

Yes, this is known and fixed in the M5 development stream.
See https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Project#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=39064. Workaround for now is to keep install and workspace on the same drive. Jean-Michel Jazz Source Control Team |
