Hi,
I'm a new FinalBuilder user I'm currently evaluating before buy.
I'm trying to "Finalbuilderize" my build process, my code is stored in a Subversion Repository. At the very top of my FinalBuilder script, I want to get the revision number of my branch HEAD. So I use the task "Subversion Info"
Parameters: info --non-interactive --password [not suppressed !] --revision HEAD --username pierre svn://[repository]/[project]/branches/[branch]
(Note that the password is not suppressed in the log.)

Révision : 588

Subversion info failed with return code 0
Do you know what's happening ? Maybe the problem is that my Subversion returns localized information ?
Regards,

Ok, I found what happens. It's due to subversion localization, the solution is straighforward : either delete the share/locale folder of your subversion installation, or define a LC\_MESSAGE variable in your FinalBuilder projet with the value "en\_US".
Hope this helps

Got almost the same problem. But mine lie in the fact that I have to set none-unicode applications to an asian locale, for all else we the en\_US set. The LC\_MESSAGE did unfortunately not work. I have worked around tis problem before in Perl. To me it seems tha parsing/regexp of the svn info output is going on the specific english field names. A slit combined with a regexp could instead enumerate over the entries, line-by-line, since the order of the fields do not change we know which is what.
Anyone else had this problem? Or is the solution to write our own svn info action?

按照Pierre Yager的方法，在Project中添加了个变量之后重启电脑还是报出Return code 0 的错误，
不过发现在C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\Languages目录中除了en\_US，还有en\_GB把这en\_GB重命名掉重启电脑之后就解决了。。。

Umm… ok… according to [translate.google.com](http://translate.google.com) (for the benifit of most users who don’t speak/read chinese)
“According to Pierre Yager’s method, added in the Project after the restart the computer or the variables quoted Return code 0 error
But found in C: \ Program Files \ TortoiseSVN \ Languages directory in addition to en\_US, there en\_GB en\_GB rename this out after restarting the computer solved. . .”
