EA hangs after saving VC settings

[ebeb]

Hi!

I've been working with VC quite a while with a colleague and it seems to work quite well. But recently, I wanted to set up EA for that project for another colleague.

After opening the project (eap on a shared drive), the VC settings pop up and ask to be set up. I choose the existing VC profile (SVN), choose the XMI location and the svn exe location.

After that, I clicked on "Save". Then, EA hangs and won't respond at all. I have to kill the process. On my machine, everything still works as expected.

What could be the problem?

Thanks!

Jan,

Have you checked the permissions of that colleague to the SVN repository?
It is probably an issue with user rights or something like that.
I had a similar issue with TFS, but that was because i didn't create a separate workspace for EA alone.
That somehow resulted in EA asking TFS for a list of ALL the file in there, which took a bit too long and got stuck somewhere.

It might be that this issue is somehow similar. If I were you I would try and find out what commands are being send to SVN.

Hi!

Ok, I managed to find out the cause and worked around the problem. At the moment the save button is clicked, EA issues the following command:

Code: [Select]

svn  info --xml --incremental "https://<server>:9443/<repo url>"
This command hangs. I killed the SVN process and issued the command on command line. SVN requests and authentication by entering my the password and accepting the security certificate.

EA seems not able to handle this case - neither to ask for manual authentication nor by displaying an error message.

Once, I manually run the SVN command and entered the necessary infos, EA VC config save runs without problems.

Create an issue?

Jan,

I would definitely create an issue.
Hopefully the Sparxians come up with a solution.

Done. Let's see what happens, I still have no response on my other pending issue....
