get FilePath of changes from Server-side WorkItem Save pre.
We have a procedure that requires a certain checklist be attached to reviews of certain types of files. I would like to check the full path of the changes that are associated to a work item going out for review. My thought is to create a workItem save precondition to make the check when a work item is resolved and creates an approval.
I can get the changeSets that are linked to the work item just fine, but I can't figure out how to get a configuration so I can locate the ancestors of the FileItems. Is this possible to do from a server-side work item save precondition?
If this is not possible, would it work to hook into the delivery operation to make the check and set some sort of flag (custom attrib?) on the work item that I could then check for on the work item save operation?
Thanks!

Hi,
you have to use IScmService.configurationLocateAncestors method and then navigate the returned INameItemPair list. You can obtain a configuration using ServiceConfigurationProvider but you must have an IWorkspaceHandle (which could be a stream or a repository workspace) in order to get a configuration. Without a stream you could not have any configuration.
Best regards,
Michele.

Notice that if you use IScmService#configurationLocateAncestors() on a deleted file, the IAncestorReport#getNameItemPairs() will return an empty array.
instead, if you use IScmService#configurationDetermineAncestorsInHistory(), the IAncestorReport#getNameItemPairs() will return the proper segments.
