Hello,

We are updating our scripts to work with Subversion. As far as we can determine everything should be set correctly, but FinalBuilder gives the following message from any Subversion actions: "Error: The specified starting directory does not exist". This appears to be the same error as referenced in https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums.aspx?forumid=6&postid=4166&view=topic.

Subversion command line client is installed and operational.

We'd appreciate any assistance.

Hi Toni,   
  
 Thanks for your post. What do you have set as the “Work Folder” parameter in the Subversion actions? Are you using a UNC path (ie \server\share), similar to the post that you referenced?   
  
 Regards,
