This source-control plug-in test area covers delete actions.

Source control responds to delete actions in Solution Explorer.

Following is a list of items that can be deleted:

  • Files

  • Folders

  • Project

    Depending on the project type, you might have the option to Remove the project (leaves the files on disk) or Delete the project (removes the files on disk). Either action removes the project or item from Solution Explorer.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior for the test cases in the delete test area is:

  • Deleted item is no longer visible within Solution Explorer.

  • The parent of the deleted project or item is checked out as needed (possibly with a prompt.)

  • After you delete a checked out or added item, it does NOT appear in the Pending Checkins window.

  • The item still exists within the source control store, even after the deletion, and must be manually purged.
