Using PVCS with SilkTest

Naming archives

Note the following about naming archives:

Archive names must be unique in an archive directory. For example, if a
PVCS archive suffix of .??v is used, files with names of myfile.res and
myfile.rem will access the same archive (myfile.rev).

Warning Do not archive SilkTest script object files that have the
.ino extension. If you do, you will have ambiguous archive files,
because both an include file and an object file would be archived as
file.inv.

If the archive names are not unique within all the archive directories in
the list, the first archive directory in the list with an archive of that name
is the one that is used.

To ensure the correct archive is being accessed, you need to carefully
create archive directories so they relate to the various SilkTest projects.
For example, the files that make up a test suite for testing a text editor
application called TextEdit could be put in an archive directory
i:\archives\textedit\tests or i:\archives\tests\textedit or
i:\tests\textedit\archives, depending upon how your particular PVCS
system is designed.

Checking out files

To use an archived file in SilkTest, you check it out of PVCS.

Procedure To check out a file:

Select File/Check Out or press Ctrl+t.

The Check Out dialog is displayed. Only the files in the current directory
that have archives are displayed in the list of files.

Select the files you want to check out. You can check out multiple files at
once by highlighting them in the multiple-select list of files.
