Hi Andy,

Thank you for contacting us with this.

Currently, the Version Control functionality for SalesforceDX projects is not implemented yet - we are going to extend TWS features for DX projects in further versions of the IDE and will work on this soon.

Right now, you can use the built-in Command Line to connect your TWS Salesforce DX project to your existing repository.

As a side note, here you can find known limitations in TWS functionality for salesforce DX - we are going to implement all of them soon.

If you would have any additional questions, please let us know - we'll be happy to assist.

Regards,

Kate

Thanks for the reply.  I created a Salesforce project instead of a DX project, and a Git repository at the project folder, and after re-starting TWS and loading the project, I still see the "Version Control is not enabled for this project..." message.  So it doesn't look like Version Control is working at all in my case.

Also FWIW, if I launch Visual Studio directly with the solution name, I'm seeing the following exception in the Version Control window:

An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame.  This information is also logged in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AppEnv\12.0\ActivityLog.xml".

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your response and for all the details about the error that you got.

A reason for this issue is that there is no selected tracking branch - our developers will work to handle this case and to solve the issue.

Right now, to continue your working process in the IDE, please set up all your tracking branches using the next steps:

    1. open the command line for the folder where your local repository is located;

    2. please use the next command for each of your tracking branches:
        $git branch -u origin/{trackingBranchName}

After this, please launch the application and please let me know if the issue would be reproduced.

Thank you,

Kate

Thank you - my issue was that I only had a local repository.  I had to create a remote repository and link the two using:

git remote add origin {url to the remote repository}

git push --all -u origin

Then when I reloaded the project in Visual Studio, the Version Control window started to work.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your response with the update and for sharing with us the steps that helped you to solve the issue.

I'm happy to hear that now you can use the built-in Git-integration in The Welkin Suite IDE.

If you would have any other questions or suggestions, please let me know - I'll be happy to assist.

Regards,

Kate
