Version Control Issues

This topic provides information about the issues that you may face while working with version control systems.

Version Control Error: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.

Image Modified

This error occurs when SharpSVN is used as version control tool for the Qualitia test assets. Few SharpSVN components require Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable package.

...

Sometimes, it has been observed that Object Spy does not allow users to add new or update existing set of objects. For "Object Spy in IE" this usually happens when Enable Protected Mode is ON and Internet security is set to High or Medium High. These options are found under Internet Options in the Internet Explorer.
Though we do not recommend this, however, an alternative can be to set the Enable protected mode ON and set the Internet security options to Medium. This but can have flaky behaviors here and there.
