taking a quick look at BaseTask.cs it does this to attempt to get the specified version:
_item = _database.get_VSSItem(_path, false); _item = _item.get_Version(_version);
where _item is an instance of the IVSSItem and _version is the value specified in the version attribute. I see that IVSSItem also has a get_Versions method. It could be used to determine the valid version values and see if they match up to labels or not.
If someone wants to do some testing against a sourcesafe installation to work out the correct sequence of api calls to get a specified version or label then I'll happily accept patches.
as for the label attribute - the get task does not look for one. NAnts behaviour right now is to just ignore attributes that it doesn't know about. I agree that it would be nice to emit warnings or errors about non-existent attributes. I'll take a look at adding this soon.

Well Peter, I don't know why I tried it, but I did:
<project name="GetLatest">
<vssget
user="Efetzer"
localpath="D:\TestGetLatest\Development"
recursive="true"
replace="true"
writable="true"
dbpath="\\Server\Repository\srcsafe.ini <file://%5C%5CServer%5CRepository%5Csrcsafe.ini>"
path="$/Centre/Development"
label="Build 53"
/>
</project>
It didn't complain, but it just got the latest as you reported. I'm guessing it wouldn't whine about a date either... Does anyone know if this feature works in Ant?

Eric,
I have had similar problems with VSSGET. I have been labeling my
projects when they get built with a build.revision number
(9999.9999). Following that, I call VSSGET using that label. I
have not had it break on that call like you are seeing ("Version
not found") however I have since attempted to get a past version
and it indeed does not retrieve the past version, only returns the
current. I think there is a problem with the task or the VSS COM
DLL. I tried using a text label and then it totally failed. The
task docs state that it accepts a version number, date, or label
but I'm not exact sure how it would know the difference between a
version number and a label given that labels can be anything. If
you are unfortunate enough to have a label that matches a version
number, what happens? Also, given that I got total failure on
text labels, I'm not sure how to fix! the problem. Otherwise, I
have had good luck with the VSS tasks.

I'm trying to get vssget based on a label working. It works well
for me without a label. I'm using nantContrib from 6/3/2003. Here's my .build file:
<project name="GetLatest">
<vssget
user="Efetzer"
localpath="D:\TestGetLatest\Development"
recursive="true"
replace="true"
writable="true"
dbpath="\\Server\Repository\srcsafe.ini
<file://Server/Repository/srcsafe.ini>"
path="$/Development"
version="Build 53"
/>
</project>
NAnt is saying:
vssget failed
Version not found
This particular label was created at the same level as the path. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks - Eric
