ClearCase tools

[Back]

This file, clearcase.nm, contains macros for performing check-in, check-out, and uncheck-out.

You'll need to add entries to the macro menu. Use
Preferences -> Default Settings -> Customize Menus -> Macro menu...
and add calls to the macro functions the standard way. After saving the defaults, my .nedit file contains the following lines:

   ClearCase>checkin:Shift+Alt+Grave::: {\n\
      CC_Checkin()\n\
   }\n\
   ClearCase>checkout:Alt+Grave::: {\n\
      CC_Checkout()\n\
   }\n\
   ClearCase>uncheckout:::: {\n\
      CC_Uncheckout()\n\
   }\n\

The system has one problem. At check-out one normally enters a check-out comment. At check-in one wants to reuse it, but change it slightly. My macros extract the check-out comment, and present it at check-in, but you must either accept it as is or enter a totally new comment.

A string_dialog() where one can supply default text would be nice. I have tried using an xterm for the check-in, but it slows down the process quite a lot, so I settled with the present approach.

Alternatively, here's a few shell commands for ClearCase, add this to .nedit:

   ClearCase Tools>Checkout File::C:DL:\n\
       cleartool co -unr -nc %\n\
   ClearCase Tools>Checkin File (No Comment)::i:DSL:\n\
       cleartool ci -nc %\n\
   ClearCase Tools>Revert Changes::R:DL:\n\
       cleartool unco -rm %\n\
   ClearCase Tools>Show Changes:::W:\n\
       cleartool diff -ser -pred %\n\
   ClearCase Tools>Show Changes Graphically:Ctrl+Alt+D:G:D:\n\
       (cleartool diff -g -pred % &) >& /dev/null\n\
   ClearCase Tools>List Checkedout Files:::D:\n\
       cleartool lsco | grep $USER | gawk '{ print $5 " " $6 " " $7 " " $8}'\n\
   ClearCase Tools>List All Checkedout Files:Ctrl+Alt+L:L:D:\n\
       cleartool lsco -cview -avobs | gawk '{ print $5 " " $6 " " $7 " " $8}'\n\
   ClearCase Tools>Show Version Tree:Ctrl+Alt+T:T:D:\n\
       (cleartool xlsvtree % &) >& /dev/null\n\
   ClearCase Tools>Show File History:Ctrl+Alt+H:H:W:\n\
       cleartool lshistory %\n\
   ClearCase Tools>Show View:Ctrl+Alt+V:V:D:\n\
       cleartool pwv\n

And this will run find on a specified directory:

directory = string_dialog("Search from what directory?","Ok","Cancel")

if ( $string_dialog_button == 2 || $string_dialog_button == 2 ||
directory == "" )
    return

string = string_dialog("Search For...","FixID","PR","Cancel")

if ( $string_dialog_button == 1 )
    answer = shell_command("/usr/atria/bin/cleartool find " directory " -element 'attr_sub(FixID,==,\"" string "\")' -print", "")
else if ( $string_dialog_button == 2 )
    answer = shell_command("/usr/atria/bin/cleartool find " directory " -element 'attr_sub(PR,==,\"" string "\")' -print", "")
else
    return

if ( $shell_cmd_status != 0 )
{
    dialog("Error executing: " answer,"Ok")
    return
}

dialog("/usr/atria/bin/cleartool " "find " directory " -element 'attr_sub(FixID,==,\"" string "\")' -print\n\n" answer,"Ok")

To show the output in a new window see this macro, Show result of shell command in a new window.
