I know this question has been asked in some form or another several times. I have read them all and can’t get a clear understanding of whether or not this issue is resolvable by users or if we have to wait for a patch.
I created a repo on our company’s assembla account. I created a new Unreal Project (with blueprint first person, just so I’d have something simple to commit).
I first tried connecting the editor to source control, which succeeded, but then found that it could not submit to source control because it believed it was “not a working copy”. So I closed the editor and instead committed the blueprint relevant files through the windows file browser.
Then, after opening the project and reconnecting to source control, I was able to checkout, edit, save, and submit files to the repo from the editor just fine. I was so excited!
Next, I had a team member pull down the repo and open the uproject. It complained about .ini files so I commited the config folder (I didn’t at first, because I remembered avoiding doing this for UDK projects). Once he pulled those down, he was able to open the project, and connect to source control. But when he tried to check out files, they were not working copies. These are the errors he received:
svn: warning W155007: ‘C:\Program’ is not a working copy
svn: warning: W155007 : ‘C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.0\Engine\Binaries\Win64\Files\Unreal’ is not a working copy.
svn: warning: W155007 : ‘C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.0\Engine\Binaries\Win64\Engine\4.0’ is not a working copy.
So I have the ability to work in the engine and submit to source control, but he does not. Are we missing a step or is there a real issue here?
Again, I apologize. I know this is being asked frequently, but I have tried the proposed solutions and they do not work here.
Are we able to safely work, just using the windows file browser for updates and commits? Can we do this while the engine is open? I remember when using UDK or UE3, using SVN from the file browser while the engine was running meant crashy fun time.
Thank you for any assistance.
