svn info doesn't work in pre-commit script
Hi,
Does anyone know why the "svn info " doesn't work in the pre/start-commit
script?
I was trying to find the current work location and its information while
running pre/start-commit. so I put "svn info " in the start-commit script.
but somehow it shows the error message as:
svn: warning: '.' is not a working copy
in my start-commit, I put it as:
svnurl=`/usr/bin/svn info . |grep "^URL: "`
echo "svnurl:$svnurl" >&2
can anyone tell me what I did wrong? or is there a way to find out the URL
of the current location?
thanks
Hellen

Right, and I responded in another thread yesterday that that's not
going to happen because the hook script runs on the server but the
working copy is on the client, and that I think the way to solve your
issue is to use the write-thru proxy feature in Subversion 1.5.

thanks for the help. actually, I want to get the current directory path from
"svn info " while using "svn commit". so I can write a script for auto
switch (svn switch --relocate from_URL To_URL) from the mirror side to
master side.

Correct. The hook does not know the path to the client's working copy.
Let's ask a different question: What are you trying to accomplish?
Maybe there's a different way to go about it.

yes. I have done some wrapper for the switching. but my boss doesn't accept

There is no way to get any informations about the working copy within
a hook script. Not even if working copy and repository are on the same
computer and you are using the file://... protocol.
The data transfered to the repositiory do not contain any information
about the physical location of the commit.
Have you thought about a wrapper script around svn to do the
switching?

Thanks Giulio for your help.
Actually I want to get the current directory path from "svn info " while
using "svn commit". so I can write a script for auto switch (svn switch
--relocate from_URL To_URL) from the mirror side to master side.
Do you know how to get this information to do this?
thanks very much in advance.

RE: Re: svn info doesn't work in pre-commit script

Hellen,
It seems from your email you're trying to get the URL of your repository
in the pre-commit hook. Is that correct? I presume so.
As far as I understand there is no way to do that. I personally have the
URL hard-coded as it's extremely unlikely that it will change. Even if
we move the repository since the hooks are always on the server the URL
is always something like http://localhost/<repo-name
<http://localhost/%3crepo-name> >
Maybe you want the URL so you can use other command to get more
information about the repository and the current commit transaction? In
that case you can use svnlook which provides most (if not all) of the
information you need and it works with the repository path which is
passed to the pre-commit hook, as you know.
Last but not least, remember that all hooks run in an empty environment
so the two parameters passed to the pre-commit hook (repository path and
transaction) are the only two you can use (this to say why the working
copy path is not available to the pre-commit).

Thanks for your help. But I have also tried using "svn info" without the
".", but It still doesn't work.
I changed the following in the start-commit:
--------------------------------
echo `pwd` >&2
svnurl=`/usr/bin/svn info |grep "^URL: "`
echo "svnurl:$svnurl" >&2
---------------------------------
and here is the result:
--------------------------------
/home/svn_user
svn: '.' is not a working copy
svnurl:
--------------------------------
but I run "svn commit" at:
/home/svn_user/tstchout/svn_mirror/testrepo1/trunk/Scripts.test
somehow, It just cannot recognize the location of the current directory.
does anyone have any idea on this ?
BTW: I tried those 2 arguments in pre-commit, it just gives me the
transaction number and the repository path not my current location.
thanks in advance.

I don't think "svn info" is the problem, it's the ".". Your current
directory is presumably the directory of the pre-commit script. I
doubt that's what you meant.
The pre-commit script gets 2 arguments, try using those.
