Managing Dynamics 365 Finance source code branches: Merge not putting files in correct folders

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 197
Hello,
 
A quick question about a weird merging behaviour I have not encountered before:
 
I have a Dev branch created from my Main branch.
 
In dev I'm adding two .dll's for an ISV package. These .dll's live in a //bin subfolder.
 
I am attempting to merge from Dev to Main and have the dll's and up in the same folders as they are in the dev branch.
 
In Dev the dll's in the source branch are in:
//Metadata//CCH_SureAddress//bin//SureAddressWrapper.dll
and
//Metadata//CCH_SureAddress//bin//SureTaxWrapper.dll
 
But... in the VM mapped to the Main branch, I select the merge from Dev, and even though Organize projects by element type option is on, after I select merge by change set the result was this:
I expected the new //bin folders to be in the CCH_* folders off the main Metadata folder, and not have a new //Metadata//Metadata//CCH_* set of folders created.
 
What am I doing wrong?
I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
     
    The problem is the "Metadata" in your mapping. The Metadata folder mapping should be to the packagesLocalDirectory folder. So without Metadata in the local path folder.

    Hello Anton,
     
    I think I have it set up correctly, does this look right to you?

    I've come back to this work.
     
    Maybe I'm doing things differently this time around but I'm having a different result.
     
    Here's what's happening:
    Merge command I used
     
    Then I set up the merge dialogue as follows:
    Merge Command Setup for Metadata folder from source to target
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    This is the result I'm receiving:
    Result, 1 of the 2 files is giving access to path is denied errors
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    I figure I'm not noticing some simple mistake I'm making.
     
    Anyone have any advice or ideas?
     
    Thanks so much.

    I found that SureTaxWrapper.dll already existed on the target.  I think this closes the case.
