Error description

• Sync fails on Windows Project hierarchy when Workspace is
  maintained to an Unix path.
  
  Synergy 7.1.0.2.01. Linux server, Windows client in web mode.
  
  Under some conditions subprojects that have a maintained work
  area prevent being able to do a Sync on the project hierarchy
  when running in web mode. In fact the subprojects are both
  relative to parent so the subprojects should be completely
  skipped during the sync but instead fail on the sync and, in the
  case of web mode, prevent the sync from returning results.
  
  Reproduction
  
  Prerequisite:
  Have a small project with the work area marked as relative to
  parent (but not maintained). This will be used as a later in the
  steps. The project should be local to the current db.
  
  1) Create a new project in the prep state (Standard Integration
  testing purpose works).
  2) Add a static subproject (with relative to parent WA, may not
  be necessary) to the prep project.
  3) Run Sync Work Area Members and subprojects on the prep
  project.
  *** Note this should work w/o error.
  4) Using a separate UNIX/Linux client, maintain the WA of the
  static project being used as a UNIX path. I did the maintain
  using a UNIX classic client but I don t think which UNIX client
  you use is important in this step.
  5) Now, back in your windows Java client run Sync Work Area
  Members and subprojects again. This time the sync will fail
  critically (no sync results displayed).
  
  
  
  Note that there is a similar, but not critical because sync
  results are
  still displayed, bug in the non-web mode client that I think has
  been
  there for sometime. Non web mode displays an error in the
  message view
  but still reports the result of the sync.
  
  In non-web mode the errors in the message view are:
  
  Warning: Work area path
  '/0b/home/ccm_root/ccm_wa/71/api#aud#1~current_20070928',
  not absolute. Can't sync work area for project
  'aud#1/project/api/current_20070928' to this client.

  ****************************************************************
  When a subproject has a work area path that is not absolute
  for the client (as a static Unix project used in a Windows
  hierarchy), sync of hierarchy fails, but should just give a
  warning on the subproject.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in Synergy 7.2.0.2 and planned to be fixed in upcoming 7.1
  .0.5 iFix001.
