VSS History range by Label
 

Everytime we do a build we label the entire project before we do GETting of the latest source. As part of a build I would like to check to see if a project has been changed since the last build, in this case the last label. I added a simple script to store the previous label so it can be used to specify a range.

Under the Database tap of the Step Properties window I added the following to the "Version to Operatate..." field:

L%Install_Version%~%Previous_Version%

When the Step is executed, the command line option thus becomes...

-V"LUST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.86~UST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.80"

However, the result did not retrieve the history between UST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.86 and UST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.80, instead it retrieves between UST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.70 and UST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.79.

I have also tried range of dates and the result is still the same.


Help!!!

That functionality works as expected here. It's actually SourceSafe (ss.exe) that's returning the output, so you'll need to open a support incident with MS to investigate the problem.

You have to put an L before both labels...

-V"LUST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.86~LUST Phase5 Build 5.0.4.80"
