Question

I have the following configured in Kiln:

Project: Apps / Group: Platform / repo: Platform / subrepo: Domain

My local directory stucture is the same, with the Platform directory (with .hg, .hgsub, .hgsubstate) and a sub-directory, Domain, containing a bunch of .cs files.

I created a repository for Domain (hg init | hg add * | hg commit), then created a repo for Platform and added the subrepo config (hg init | echo Domain = Domain > .hgsub | hg add .hgsub | hg commit).

Then I pushed the Platform repo (to be sure I got the .hgsub file), but the files that were commited to Domain never appeared in Kiln.

Here is my log, with some of the output:

C:\Code\Hg\Platform>hg init Domain
C:\Code\Hg\Platform>cd Domain
C:\Code\Hg\Platform\Domain>hg add *.cs  [adds one file, User.cs]
C:\Code\Hg\Platform\Domain>hg commit -m "domain commit"

[added a default-push entry for Domain to https://willow.kilnhg.com/Repo/Apps/Platform/Domain]

C:\Code\Hg\Platform>hg init
C:\Code\Hg\Platform>echo Domain = Domain > .hgsub
C:\Code\Hg\Platform>hg add .hgsub
C:\Code\Hg\Platform>hg commit -m "commit from toplevel"

committing subrepository Domain

C:\Code\Hg\Platform>hg push https://willow.kilnhg.com/Repo/Apps/Platform/Platform
pushing to https://willow.kilnhg.com/Repo/Apps/Platform/Platform

Domain is still empty in Kiln (no User.cs). What did I do wrong that caused my subrepo to not be pushed correctly?

Answer 1

I setup my .hgsub a bit differently. Something like,

Domain = https://willow.kilnhg.com/Repo/Apps/Platform/Domain

When I commit from the main repo, it automatically commits the subrepo. Pushing the main repo causes the subrepo to be pushed also.

Answer 2

From what I understand, you need to commit from the subrepo (the lowest level subrepo where the change was made if you have more than one level of hierarchy) for this to work correctly.
