Unable to run the command line extension with 6.x RTC

[ruhullahshah]

Hello,

I ran the steps mentioned at https://github.com/rtcTo/rtc2gitcli/wiki/Setup but I get the following error while running the launch configuration rtc2git

Error:
Problem running 'help':
Unknown subcommand "migrate-to-git". Try 'scm help' for more information.

Any pointers for me to proceed?

Hi

Could you provide details to your used rtc-version and the libs you used?
Does your workspace contain any errors?

You could also try to run the provided docker image: https://github.com/rtcTo/rtc2git-docker

Hi,

• We are using RTC version : 6.0.4
• The workspace has no errors. FYR, I attached a snapshot.
  
  In case it doesn't work, I will try to workout with a docker image. I am still using Windows 7 and docker is a bit rusty on this platform, that's why I am avoiding this route for now.

#41 had the same issue and I also were able to reproduce it. Somehow I guided @ycon that it worked for him... But I cant find my tipps.

[ruhullahshah]

No problem. I have patched https://github.com/rtcTo/rtc2git to suit my use cases for now and in case there is a need to switch to the Java variant, I will end up using the Docker Image probably.

I am facing the same issue now that after cloning and while running the launch configuration rtc2git

Error:
Problem running 'help':
Unknown subcommand "migrate-to-git". Try 'scm help' for more information.
I checked all issues and looks like am not able to find the solution to fix this. Please help here.

[WtfJoke]

There is currently no solution. It seems rtc2gitcli not compatible with the rtc 6.x libs.

I dont know if the docker image is facing the same problem.

Maybe you can make it with rtc2git, investigate the issue here yourself or wait.

We use RTC 5.0.2. so it is not the case with 6.x libs right?

[himmakam]

sorry, I used scmtools 6.x before. but now am using 5.0.2 and now getting the below error - How can I get rid of this one.

Please create a separate issue for that.

Also please include if you workspace has any errors.

[himmakam]

ok, logged #46

Ran into the same issue (despite it building fine, no errors, no issues with the target platform as per the Wiki, all Maven dependencies downloading locally just fine.)

There is a workaround you can do (I've verified this is working on my RTC 6.0.4 instance) to get this working outside of the Eclipse run configuration.

Once you have everything building/compiling fine in Eclipse, right-click on the cli.extension project from Eclipse Navigator (or whatever project you called it during import), select Export, expand Plug-in Development and select Deployable plug-ins and fragments, hit Next. Choose a directory destination to export this plug-in jar to (I used the target directory within the project), and hit Finish.

That will export this jar, go to the directory and copy it (was named, by default, to.rtc.cli.migrate_1.0.1.jar in my instance) to the plugins directory in your SCMTools directory (.../path/to/jazz/scmtools/eclipse/plugins).

Once you drop the plug-in .jar in that directory, open a command-line and go to the eclipse directory in that same SCMTools instance where scm.exe exists.
Run:

• scm -clean
• scm help

You should see the command migrate-to-git

@solzun thanks. I am upgrading from RTC v5.0.2 to RTC 6.0.6. I am able to run the migration tool following your steps.

[WtfJoke]

Thanks a lot solzun for giving this workaround. This will help a lot of people :)
I verified this and linked to your comment in the readme (I didnt need to run scm -clean)

[wtsiamruk]

seems that the above solution not working on 6.0.5
