Hi,
I'm a real, real newbie for FB5.0 and I'm looking to evaluate and incorporate FB for my projects. I started playing with it and the first task I wanted to do was pull my source code off our subversion repository which is not hosted on my dev machine but on a remote server accessed via https.
But when I set these params in the subversion window and I try the action, I get "Subversion location has not been set, please check tools->options". I entered whatever is required for the server options, but why does it need subversion binary path? I don't have subversion on my m/c and I can't give it access to subversion binary path (not required in my case because our repo. is located elsewhere and is accessible over the Internet with certain restrictions). I would think this is a fairly basic need..but I can't seem to get rid of the error.
What am I missing?!
Hi,
FinalBuilder doesn’t include a Subversion client (and same as all the other version control systems and other tools that are supported). FinalBuilder needs to shell out to these other tools to let them do the work - so, basically it’s a requirement that you have subversion binaries available for FinalBuilder as it uses svn.exe to actually perform the Subversion commands.
Tate,
That makes perfect sense - thank you!
