Subversion Ant Tasks

[David Weintraub <qa...@gmail.com>]

I'm having some difficulties with Subversion's Ant tasks.

I am on SUSE 9.0 which has the latest Subversion release of 1.3.
However, I am building with Hudson that is using svnkit which is using
a release 1.4.6 revision. The problem is I build with Hudson, it
creates a 1.4.6 compatible workspace, then I attempt to do something
in my Ant file, and I get the message that my Subverison client is too
old.

I went to subclipse and got the svnant task. This includes a
svnant.jar and a svnClientAdapter.jar. Apparently, the svnjavahl.jar I
am using is a 1.3 client version. According to the documentation,
svnClientAdapter.jar can use the svnjavahl, the svnkit, or the command
line.

I've removed the "svn" command from my path, and setup the following build.xml:

<project name="test" default="test" basedir=".">

    <!-- Subversion Setup -->
    <path id="svn.task.path">
        <pathelement location="${ant.home}/lib-svn/svnant.jar"/>
        <pathelement location="${ant.home}/lib-svn/svnClientAdapter.jar"/>
        <pathelement location="${ant.home}/lib-svn/svnkit-javahl.jar"/>
    </path>

    <taskdef resource="svntask.properties" classpathref="svn.task.path"/>

    <property file="${user.home}/.subversion/svn.properties"/> <!--
User Name & Pword -->

    <target name="test">
        <svn
            javahl="true"
            username="svnant"
            password="SNVant123">
            <cat
url="http://subversion.solbright.com/dev/modules/foundation/trunk/build.xml"
                destfile="foo.xml"/>
        </svn>
    </target>
</project>

I get the following errors:

Buildfile: build.xml

test:

BUILD FAILED
/solbright/tools/build/build.xml:18: Cannot use javahl nor command
line svn client

I have tried modifying the file to use svnjavahl.jar, but get the same
error. It only works if I put the svn command back into the PATH, so
it can execute via the svn command line. Unfortunately, that's 1.3,
and I need a 1.4.6 compatible client.

Has anyone else used the Subversion tasks in Ant? Any help in configuring them?

The Hudson people told me of a Hudson plugin that forces Hudson to use
Subversion 1.3 format in the work directory. That solved this
particular issue

I used svnant a while back, here's a bit of the build file I used

    <target name="init-svn">
        <!--property name="svnant.home" value="svnant-1.0.0"/-->
        <property name="svnant.home" value="svnant-1.1.0-RC2"/>

        <!-- path to the svnant libraries.  -->
        <path id="svn.classpath">
            <fileset dir="${svnant.home}/lib">
                <include name="*.jar"/>
            </fileset>
        </path>

        <!-- load the svn task -->
        <!--taskdef resource="svntask.properties"
classpathref="svn.classpath"/-->
        <typedef resource="org/tigris/subversion/svnant/svnantlib.xml"
classpathref="svn.classpath"/>
    </target>

The differences to your example is that I include all the jars from the
svnant lib directory which includes the javasvn.jar and use the antlib to
include the tasks. Also the version of svnant maybe important I tried using
1.0.0 but kept getting exceptions which is why I moved to 1.1.0-RC2
