Title: SVN: access rights on all subfolders needed
Post by: Frank Horn on May 20, 2008, 07:54:42 pm

We just experienced an unexpected phenomenon with EA's SVN integration (build 7.1.829):

Check out a folder from the SVN repository which has subfolders you don't see, i.e. you have a sturcture like

rootfolder
---subfolder1
---subfolder2
---subfolder3

and svnaccess.conf looks like this

Code: [Select]

[rootfolder:/]
user = rw
[rootfolder:/subfolder3]
user =

So your working copy will look like this:

rootfolder
---subfolder1
---subfolder2

Now when you create a version control ID in EA which points to "rootfolder" and call the get package menu, EA will talk to svn.exe for a while, and then show - nothing at all. You need to have access rights for subfolder3, or you won't see the packages in subfolder1 and subfolder2 either.

Don't know whether this will be regarded as a bug, but it's an issue for sure, cause it means you have to create version controls IDs for folders low enough in the repository hierarchy that everybody can have full access.
