Question

Hello,

I would like to check if a Project exists within a specific devPath vie Java-Api (or cmd-line).

for Example:

Create A project on Mainline:

     * rootA

          * subB

               *subC

create a Devpath "myAwesomeDevPath" on subB

drop subC on devPath.

If i try to get

si projectinfo -P /rootA/subB/subC --devPath=myAwesomeDevPath

i get a valid Project from within the response. Is there any Information in the Response about the droped sub-Project

      I also found this behaviour strange and experimented myself.

      My explanation would be that -P /rootA/subB/subC --devPath=myAwesomeDevPath really exists

      (it was created when creating the devpath on subB) but it is not used anymore.

      The only solution I found till now is

        si locate --depth=current -P /rootA/subB/subC

      and then check (parse?) whether your devpath is listed in the response.

      (I would also be interrested in a more elegant solution.)


      Other options of 'si locate' might also be interresting for you.

        Meanwhile I use another method to see what is happening in variants/devpaths

        The command

          si projectinfo -P /rootA/subB --devPath=myAwesomeDevPath

        should produce 2 line looking like this

          Attributes:

              mksVariant=1.2

        whith

        si mods -P /rootA/subB -r 1.2 --devpath=myAwesomeDevPath

        you should be able to find out if your subC is currently dropped in your devpath.
