How do I make a TAG in SVN

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi

I want to make a Label in SVN - they call it a tag. I tried to use Subversion Copy as it is explained in the documentation. However I get an error   -   svn: Can't get password

I use the SVN Checkout without any problems. In both cases I put the username in the same way (wo don't use passwords at all). Has anyone tried using Subversion Copy ? and specifically for TAG?

Thanks Daphna

I am using FB 5.5.0.589

What options are you specifying? I tested here using VisualSVN Server with these options :

Source : http://yak.office.vsoft.local:8080/svn/test
Destination : http://yak.office.vsoft.local:8080/svn/test/tags/test2
Revision :

here’s the output I got :

source is :   svn://mrbuilder/STP3/trunk/STPlatform
Destination is :  svn://mrbuilder/STP3/tags/3.11.0.5_B767
Working Folder is empty
 
This is my Output:

SVN Work Folder =
SVN Command = C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe copy --force-log --message 3.11.0.5_B767 --non-interactive --username daphna  svn://mrbuilder/STP3/trunk/STPlatform svn://mrbuilder/STP3/tags/3.11.0.5_B767
svn: Can't get password

As I have mentioned before, we work without Passwords, and other SVN actions work ok.

SVN Work Folder = C:\
SVN Command = C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe checkout --non-interactive --username daphna  svn://localhost/STP3/trunk/STPlatform/MainBranch/Installation/WFWI Z:\STPlatform\MainBranch\Installation\WFWI

Hi

I am using Subversion 1.4.5 and  in some other place I got a message that it is too old, so this might be causing my problems. What version are you using?
