Subversion - Issue with EA

[bjsarma]

Hi All,

The error i am receiving is a bit wierd. We have the SubVersion deployed on internet and we have teams working in multiple locations. The user authentication is using AD and the Apache is used as a channel for SubVersion.

Some people are able to configure the EA models with SubVersion and they are working fine. For some of them they werre able to create the local copy and perform CHECKOUT using SVN commands. We tried using Tortoise SVN also and we were able to work with that. When these folks are trying to configure SubVersion in EA they are seeing the following Error

"svn:REPORT REQUEST failed on "http://........."
svn: REPORT of "http://.........." Could not read the status line. An existing connection was forcibly closed by remote host (<host name>).

What could be the issue?

There are no proxy configurations required at the client side. The version of EA is 6.1 where it is faiing. Is this any thing to do with EA Version

Please look into this issue. It is a bit critical for me at this moment. EA folks can you comment on this

Hi!

Have you put a request into Sparx Support here?  If you're a registered user, there is a priority support page as well.

The Sparxians do monitor this board, but it's best to ask them more directly.

No help from Sparx.

What i noticed is i could lock, get latest, release lock from the working copy folder using TortoiseSVN. But when i use EA to setup Version Control Settings i am getting the error. After the error dialog closes i  get another message saying that "Error Initializing Version Control Provider".

Please, please everybody look into the issue and help me.

If your a registered user then Sparx should provide you with support. If not then do a search of the forums for Subversion Problems, and you should get plenty of hits...

I'd recommend updating to the latest release. Doing a "subversion" search in the release notes reveals a lot substantial changes (handling status messages etc.).

I'm using the latest release and I also get this problem when trying to configure EA with subversion. The svn repository is accessible with Tortoise, though.

When i spoke to my Network Admin, he said probaly because of DNS name of the server. It did not made much sense to me becuase normal check-out process works but when you perform locks it fails.

Not more than 2 cents...
Not really sure what the error say, one thing to make sure is a "problem" with the apache webDav module which is "Case-sensitive". Make sure u have set the trunk name in correct upper/lower.

Hi,

at my project we do not have your problem, however we had different ones and this is what we have found out (maybe it will help you):

* Do not use cygwin svn, EA behaves strangely with this version.

* Use svn found at
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91.

* The working copy of cygwin svn is not compatible with win svn. The same might hold true for svn and tortoise (with version mismatch, i.e. Subversion 1.4.2 and Tortoise 1.2.x might not work together).

* The safest bet is to checkout the project with command line svn as this will be used by EA itself.

* Use EA 6.5 (builds known to work: 799, 800, known to not work is EA 5.0).

I've had this issue a couple of times. The solution is to simply Update the folders that EA is complaining about.

No idea why it's trying to lock these folders.
