Setting CVS_PASSFILE does not work
Hello,
I'm using IDEA 3.0, Build 666 and keep getting the error that I had to run "cvs login".
I was able to work around this problem by cutting and pasting the value from my .cvspass file into the IDEA file "xxxx_iprdaeaa0f9.cvspass". After doing this, I was able to add and commit files to the CVS repository.
Before the cut and paste effort, I had set my CVS_PASSFILE in the idea.lax file like this:
CVS_PASSFILE=C:\.cvspass
It didn't seem to work though.
Please sign in to leave a comment.
idea doesn't use the CVS_PASSFILE any more. It uses its own passfiles so it can maintain different ones for each project.
Are you running a cywin environment under windows ?
The documentation still references the CVS_PASSFILE...
I'm not using cygwin, just plain Windows 2000, sp2.
