Impossible to export UserGroups #15

Closed TG-JC closed 3 years ago

TG-JC commented 3 years ago

How to reproduce

create a new User Group in a project
open to GitBackup Export dialog box
select this project
add the newly created User Group to the selection
click Export (dialog closes)

What's wrong

Status dialog box shows nothing: there is no XML pour the User Group we tried to export
If you push, the commit is empty

Workaround:

"Export to Source Control" User Groups manualy and download the file on your disk
git clone the repository locally
commit on your local repository
git push to BitBucket
GitBackup pull to retrieve commited User Group XML

Hi, Thanks for pointing out this issue. Indeed I tested with the latest Git extension on ThingWorx 9.1, and the User Groups didn't get exported. This is because the entities are processed by entity type and then moved to the correct folder in the repository. To address this issue quickly, you can go to "Git.Utility.ThingShape" and edit the service: "ExportProjectEntities". At line 87, modify case "UserGroup": to case "Group": and then save your the Thing Shape. Then, when you try to export user groups, they will appear in your folder. I have attached an image with my result, after this modification. 3-18-2021 4-19-36 PM
