Hi Tuvia:

For what I can see, FoxBin2Prg is working properly, and the problem is that, somehow, it is not called from your SCM.

I just ask this for cheking:

In VFP's Options / Projects tab, have you selected the "Test generation" option using the right button for selecting FoxBin2Prg.prg?

Have you tried using the EXE?

I've tested it with SourceSafe, and is called normally. I've attached 3 screenshots, one for the VFP config with SourceSafe and 2 for use example. The 3rd capture is with the form opened and viewing differences (a new command button added)

About the config (foxbin2prg.cfg file) I have copied it into VFP installation directory with foxbin2prg.exe
The config have this inside:

extension: pj2=pja
extension: vc2=vca
extension: sc2=sca
extension: fr2=fra
extension: lb2=lba
extension: mn2=mna
extension: db2=dba
extension: dc2=dca

(is the included content, but uncommented)


Compare it with your config and try the same.


>1. I set debugging on.

>4. From VFP project I checked out the class library. No log or action from foxbin2prg.
>5. I made a change to the class library.
>6. I checked it back in.
>7. Foxbin2prg did not do anything - no recreation of the .vca, and no log file updated.
>8. This is the original log file from step 3, the only log file I got:
