Authorization failed: attempting svn propedit --revprop
Hi,
I am just learning SVN and am testing the usage of hook scripts. I'm trying
to get the pre-revprop-change.tmpl script working. I just renamed the
pre-revprop-change.tmpl to pre-revprop-change.pl and tried running the svn
command below on a sample repository.
C:\work\sesame>svn propedit --revprop -r 39 svn:log
svn://svn/repos/sesame/trunk/Numbers.txt
svn: Authorization failed
I get the Authorization failed error message. I'm not a PERL guy so one of
my questions is: is that template adequate or do I need to adjust it in some
way to get it working?
I am running Windows XP, SP2 + svn 1.4.3, and have Perl from ActiveState:
====================
C:\work\sesame>svn --version
svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084)

Ryan,
Thanks for your information. Very helpful. I will try writing a script of
my own and see how it goes.
Thanks again,

Two problems.
1. pre-revprop-change.tmpl is a bash script, not a perl script. Bash
exists on Unix-like operating systems but not on Windows (unless you
install cygwin) so you will have to write a script in a different
language. Perl would probably work fine, except
2. Subversion does not look for or execute a file called pre-revprop-
change.pl. It looks for a file with any of the following names:
pre-revprop-change.exe
pre-revprop-change.bat
pre-revprop-change.cmd
pre-revprop-change.vbs
pre-revprop-change.wsf
Possibly other extensions, but I don't think .pl is among them. So,
if you want to write your script in perl, then you have to write a
minimal batch file (or .exe file or whatever) that calls the perl
script with the appropriate arguments and reads back and propagates
the status code. I'm not a Windows programmer though so I can't show
you how to do that.
