Subversion Update command

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Subversion and on my development machine I use it together with TortoiseSVN. Now for example, when I delete a source controlled file from my windows explorer and then do TortoiseSVN -> Update, it will restore the deleted file.

However, when I use the Subversion Update action from FinalBuilder, it doesn't restore the deleted file. Instead it says something like "skipped /trunk/subfolder" and does nothing.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks,
Jeffry

Anyone? It looks like a pretty straightforward thing to do, so I must be clearly be missing something obvious.

Anyone else here working with Subversion and willing to give me some advice?

Thanks,
Jeffry

Hi Jeffry,

Thanks for your post. You mean that you’re deleting the file from your working copy, right?

I can’t see an option for “svn update” to change the behaviour for missing files. This may just be a behavioural difference between TortoiseSVN and the svn command line client. Would you be able to post the full output from the update action in FinalBuilder (removing any personal info)?

Hi Angus,

Thanks for your reply, I figured it out now. TortoiseSVN and the svn command line work the same. But when I looked at the FinalBuilder log and compared it with the svn command line client help I figured out the problem. It was the Path property. I shouldn't have filled that. Setting the working folder is already enough.

I looked at the svn documentation for "svn update" and still don't know how the PATH parameter works, but apparently I don't need it .

Thanks,
Jeffry
