I am using Visual Studio 2005 and StarTeam 2008 (cross-platform client and VS integration). At some point, I added an ‘App.config’ to a project. I notice now that this file will not check-in.

  1. The ‘StarTeam Pending Checkins’ window in VS reports the file ‘Not in View’. Selecting it for check in and clicking ‘Check In Files’ causes a dialog to appear – ‘Any operation… requires completing the pending renames/deletes’. I click ‘Yes’ to proceed and nothing happens.

  2. The StarTeam client reports this file as ‘Modified’. If I check-in from the client, I get no ‘complete pending renames/deletes’ dialog and the file quickly appears with a ‘Current’ status.

  3. Refreshing StarTeam from VS, I still see the file as ‘Not in View’.

I have tried forcing the check-in. I completely removed my working files and pulled the solution fresh in hopes that the StarTeam status (‘Current’) would apply in VS.

  1. It appears I solved this…

    1. I had a co-worker with better credentials add the file to the same project.
    2. He checked in successfully.
    3. I blew away my working files and pulled the solution from Visual Studio.
    4. I added the content to the file, saw the modified status, and checked in.

    It appears that normal users do not have delete privileges (just regular delete, not permanent history erasing delete). And in some cases the pending delete cycle (is that managed by StarTeam?) doesn’t execute and you can’t check in files.
