We have a project (OSSMETER) with both a SVN repo and a Git repo. From the project page, if you click the 'Code' link from the left-hand menu, it takes us to the Git repository. If you browse to the project Admin page and click "View source", you are directed to the SVN repository. Without going through the admin view, I am unable to determine how to get to the SVN repo.

Can this distinction be made more clear in the menu? E.g. have sub components of 'Code' for each repo?

    Cheers, thanks for reporting this.

    I took a look at the OSSMETER project. I can confirm there is a bug with the sidebar menu (at least with the code tool but possibly with others).

    What seems to have happened in the sidebar menu was that both repositories had the same label Code, this caused one of the entries to be concealed. I have updated the label for your SVN repository to be Code2, it should now be visible in the sidebar.

    For reference until this bug is fixed, you can alter the label that appears in the sidebar by going to the Admint->Tools page, pressing the Label option inside each tool and renaming the label.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Rui, thanks for addressing this so quickly. The two repositories were created when we created the project, so it sounds like other projects may experience this as well? I've renamed the repositories now - thanks for the tip!

    We have merged a fix for this into production. Testing so far seems to solve the issue, with no adverse effects or changes in expected behaviour.

    • Entries with the same label should now show up in the menu (although with the repeated label).
    • The issue was sometimes masked by the menu grouping feature, making it hard to spot for tools of the same type
    • There is an example test case in the osp-playground project.

    I'll leave this issue open for a while longer while we test further.
