Asset Server Merger Cutting off scripts

Hi, I have a really big, and really strange problem.

I am working with Asset Server and the default merger tool. When I merge a script it comes up in the merger looking fine, but when I select merge and continue the update the resulting script is cut off, seemingly at a random point (sometimes in the middle of a line halfway through the script).

What could be causing this?

I have Visual Studio running at the time… could this be locking some of the lines of code for editing?

The cutoff is not related to parts of the file that need to be merged, sometimes it is in a totally unaffected part of the code. Sometimes it is cut off half way, sometimes near the end.

Please help! I would very much like to be able to use the Asset Server script merge function.

I would recommend killing the default merge tool and install WinMerge to use. (you can change what tool to use in the editor preferences)

It seems like the Unity and the FileMerger are not talking to each other sometimes.

After some more testing one time Unity allowed the update to merger without opening the FileMerger, FileMerger turned out to have received only a partial file (the left hand side was simply missing loads of text) and it assumed the apparent deletion of half the file was part of the update.

This is stupid (so I guess I’ll be searching for a better file merger tool)

never seen that at least on U2 … have to say that I’ve not used the AS client anymore on U3 although I upgraded, poisonous consequence of investing into smartSVN and smartGIT

A bug report has recently been filed for this problem and it is under investigation.

We’re using Unity and having the same issue, but it seems to be only on the Mac. Where can i check the status of the bug?
