ThingWorx Git Extension– Changes not reverting after Checkout Commit

Hi everyone,

I’m facing a small issue with ThingWorx Git extension.

 

Let’s say I have exported a project and made a small change in one of the services (but haven’t committed it yet). Then I decide that I don’t want to keep this change and want to revert back to the previous commit version of the project.

 

Even though I use “Checkout Commit” and then import the entity again, the old version of the service doesn’t appear — the change is still there.

 

Everything works fine normally when I commit and push, but in this case (uncommitted local changes that I want to discard), it seems not to revert the entity properly.

Right now, my only workaround is to commit the unwanted change with a dummy message, and then go back to the previous commit using Checkout Commit — but that’s not really ideal.

Has anyone found a better way to completely revert to a previous commit and restore entities (like services) to their exact older state without committing the unwanted change first?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi @MA8731174 

 

It's perfectly fine to post here about any extension--whether PTC supported or not.  I just wanted to confirm the extension you're using so that everyone is on the same page.

 

I'll reach out to the contributors on this extension to assist with your questions.

 

Regards.
