SVN isn't working with url http://W.X.Y.Z/svn/company/branches/branch-name/project

[Bno93]

If I try to use this extension under SVN I always get
The SVN URL cannot be identified as a trunk or a branch: http://192.168.0.1/svn/company/branches/branch-name/project

I looked into the code and found out that in SVNInfoService.groovy in function parseBranch the Pattern
/.*\/trunk$/ and /.*\/branches\/([^\/]+)$/ in combination with match() don't work for me.

It worked when I remove the '$' in both Patterns and use find() instead of match().

Did someone else had this problem?

Hi, thanks for reporting this.

Do you configure the plugin in any way, in your build.gradle? If yes, can you post the configuration?

Thanks,
Damien

And which version of the plugin do you use?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

i'm currently using 2.7.1.
add the dependency:

buildscript {  
  repositories {  
    jcenter()  
    maven {  
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"  
    }  
  }  
  dependencies {
    classpath 'net.nemerosa:versioning:2.7.1'
  }
}
apply plugin: 'net.nemerosa.versioning'

the only thing I've done was to configure the plugin like

versioning {
   scm = 'svn'
}

then I got
> org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNAuthenticationException: svn: E170001: Authentication required for '<http://x.x.x.x:80>'

when I enter my svn credentials like

versioning {
   scm = 'svn'
   user = 'myUser'
   password = 'myPassword'
}

I got

> The SVN URL cannot be identified as a 'trunk' or a branch: http://x.x.x.x/svn/Repo/trunk/project-group/project

Hi,

By default, the versioning plugin expects your local working copy to be either:

• a trunk
• a branch (defined by branches/xxx)

In your case, it is mapped to /trunk/project-group/project hence the failure.

That's a default though, computing the current branch from the working directory. You can also pass the branch name explicitly in the branchEnv, for example:

versioning {
   branchEnv = 'BRANCH_NAME'
}

Then, set the environment locally (for Linux/MacOs):

export BRANCH_NAME=trunk

Not perfect, but as of now, this plugin does a best effort to use a default layout for Subversion, difficult to take into account all possible configurations, especially with Subversion.

Thanks for the workaround I will try it ^^

I've got the same error when I try to build from a SVN tag.
This is blocking in our company as tags are used in our pipeline to build and deliver apps to the production environment.
