SVN Problems

[Dan Rasmussen]

Note: I am on EA 12.0.1214

I am trying to set up our model for CM by svn but am running into a number of issues that are confusing to me:

1. When I "add branch to version control", I get an error message stating:"An error occurred while checking the package into Version Control.  The Version Control provider reports the following error: svn:E000002: Can' open file "'c:\Users\DRASMU~1\AppData\Local\EA_C_msg.txt': No such file or directory.  I do see lots of files and directories being created in the svn folder that I point the project to.

2. If I check out a branch, the project browser twitches but I'm not sure if anything is really happening.

3.  If I change the model, the attempt to check in a branch, it says that there is nothing checked out.

So, I'm not sure if this is really working for me.  Maybe it is and I don't understand something but I was hoping that EA would prompt me to check out a branch if I try to mutate the model AND the I would see something in the project browser that indicates that the model is under CM control.  

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I can confirm that is is definitely not working for you.
When you check-in packages then they become read-only until you explicitly check them out.

Maybe better try to start with adding a single package to SVN to see what happens.
I would use that anyway instead of the "branch" operations as it allows more control on what you put into SVN and you get better filenames.

Thanks for the comments.  Knowing that it wasn't working prompted me to try to fix the error reported in number 1.  I had pointed EA to use the cygwin binary for svn (Tortoise is the standard here but not supported by EA).  The back slashes in the path made me wonder so I installed one of the apache svn binary packages for windows and that seems to have fixed things up for me.

No more errors AND I am getting expected behavior.  Thanks!

My recent usage of EA and svn has been with tortoise svn. Just click the checkbox on the install for command line tools.
