I accidentally opened up Gluon instead of the standard interface. Now, when I go to Pending Changes, there's a banner that says

New changeset(s) have been detected in the repository, you can update-to/merge-from the latest changeset

with a button labeled View new changes. Clicking that button results in the message

The workspace is in Gluon format and needs to be converted to 'standard'. Just run an update to fix it.

How exactly would I "just run an update"?

I would think that I should be clicking the button in the Workspace tab that says Update workspace, however this process is interrupted by the same error message.

  • A temporary workaround until a proper answer is found is to delete the workspace and re-create it, manually shelving and reapplying any changes. – M-Pixel Jan 30 '17 at 22:00

It's interesting to note that the Gluon and the standard Plastic workspaces have a different structure, so if you if you are using both GUIs, please create two independenet workspaces.

Regarding the error, the workspace currently has a Gluon format so you need to run and update opeartion on it from the regular GUI in order to covert it again to a standard Plastic SCM workspace. For that purpose, you can open the branch explorer, right-click a branch and switch workspace to this branch. This way, the workspace will be converted to "standard" again.

Note that you can only run a switch (or update) operation if you don't have pending to commit changes in the workspace.
