TSVN integration with LV and Hackystat

[0_o]

Hi,

At the moment I'm running TSVN on the server and commit/update/checkout every day manually through windows explorer.

My goals are to make my work more efficient by:

1. Making TSVN accessible from the tools menu like JKI TSVN is.

2. Adding Hackystat telemetries into TSVN.

3. Adding TSVN to LabVIEW's source control providers.

4. Making TSVN work with LabVIEW blocks from the pallet Connectivity->Source Control like SCC Open SCC Project vi.

5. Adding a Bug Tracking capability to TSVN.

The way I thought to implement it is:

1. Since I can run TSVN from the command prompt and since I can add vis into LV tools menu I thought I can add update/commit to the current vi/project I'm using.

2. Hackystat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackystat is supposed to integrate with TSVN. I don't yet know how. Did anyone here try it before? Do you guys use any kind of a metric system both to collect data about the work being done and for the way users are using your code like time efficiency parameters and so on?

3. I have no clue. Help someone?

4. I guess it would be possible only after I complete stage 3 since I got an error trying to detect with those block if I'm using TSVN. Am I right?

5. I created a structure that allows me to handle bugs by each user to each project with permissions and all. Now I only have to write a GUI that allows users to report a bug that will save not only the description but also the programs state and a video by Jing. Then, I would like to load the report folder that contains LVM file of the configuration and the video to TSVN. Once I update the bug folder I will run Data Finder on it to display the list and apply blocks like Merge Queries to find whatever I like. However, I don't know if it is the smart way to do it mainly because I didn't do such things in the past and I wonder what will happen if two people commit with conflicts.

I'd love to hear any comments and advice.

Thanks in advance,

Dror.

You mix up a few things:

• TSVN is not SVN, TSVN is a Windows GUI front end of a SVN client, your server is running SVN
  
• To integrate SVN with the LabVIEW project SCC-provider I would advise you to use the PushOK SVN provider. It worked pretty good for me
  
• I wouldn't try to reinvent the wheel on bug-tracking. There are numerous bug-tracking solutions that work with SVN.
