Get objects from Git – PB Docs 2017

To get objects from the Git source control system:

• Right-click the workspace (that contains the object to be
  downloaded) in the System Tree and select Git Pull from the pop-up
  menu.

  Git Pull menu is only available at the workspace level, and
  is not available at the target or library levels.

  PowerBuilder starts downloading the new objects or changed
  objects from the Git source control system to the local workspace.
  After the object is downloaded successfully, the object will be
  marked with a green dot () in front of it, indicating that the object
  on the local computer is in sync with the object on the
  server.

  If conflicts are detected, you will be prompted in the
  output view and will have to resolve the conflict using a Git
  client. See the section called “Resolve conflicts” for details.

  When “Compile failure” error occurs

  When “Compile failure” error occurs during the download
  process, clicking OK will still download and import the object
  with the error (and you will need to fix the error later), or
  clicking Cancel will terminate the download process of all
  objects and revert back to the object on the local
  computer.

  When to do a full build

  When the following problems happen, a full build may help
  to fix them:

  • If both the parent object and the child object have
    been changed on the source control server, the parent object
    or the child object may not display correctly after
    downloaded from the server to the local computer.

  • After the object is downloaded from the server to the
    local computer, PowerBuilder IDE crashed when trying to open
    the object.

  • After the object is downloaded from the server to the
    local computer, the application crashed when running from
    the PowerBuilder IDE.
