Failure putting EA-package under SVN version ctrl

[kodo65]

Hi!

I'm struggling in putting a EA-package under SVN version control. I've configured the "root package", thus creating an XMI-file. After that I invoked the version control menu command and entered the path to the working directory having the above XMI-file and entered the path to the Tortoise executable. When trying to save the version control configuration I get the following error:

Error while initializing Version Control Provider:

A time-out occurred while waiting on the SVN command:

"<.... path to the tortoise executable goes here...> --xml --incremental"

You may be able to gain more information about the cause of the error by opening a Windows command prompt, navigating to the folder

"<... path to folder mentioned above goes here...>"

then executing the command line shown above.
........

When I do the above tortoise displays a dialog box stating the version etc so I get the impression that I've provided the wrong tortoise client to be used by EA. I assume I need to use a command line client or something similar. The executable I'm trying to use is: tortoiseproc.exe.

I'd very much appreciate if you could help med out here...

Many thanks!

You can't use the tortoise executable with EA.
I think last time I used it I used something from CollabNet.

Hi Gert!

I tried another command tool (SlikSVN) which seems to be OK. However, I'm not sure what I need to do in orde to have this work. What is supposed to go into the working path setting and what do I need to configure in SVN in order to have this working?

Thanks!

The working path is supposed to contain the local folder on your machine, which contains your copy of the "source code".
That is where EA is going to store the xmi files it exports (under the hood) and downloads from the SVN repository when doing a "getlatest".
