export command not reporting any problem with nonexistent url?
I am using SVN 1.4.2 on a Linux system. I have a script that is
attempting to check the return code from an svn export command like the
following:
svn --username username --password password export
https://this.is.the.svn.url/project_name/tags/dev/nonexistent_tag
../project_name
In this case, I _know_ that the tag directory I have named DOES NOT
EXIST in the repository, yet the "svn export" command not only returns 0
as the return code, it also does not even report that the directory
doesn't exist. I just get the output "Export complete.", and a 0 for
exit code, as though the command completed successfully.
When I first started testing my export script against this same
repository, it would report the nonexistent directory and return a
nonzero exit code. Now it doesn't. Is this a bug? A problem with my
repository? Or is is some kind of setting change made on the SVN
server that could have caused this?
Thanks,
Rich Stephens

You'll need to test with a more recent version of Subversion. 1.4.x is
no longer supported, so even if it is a bug, a fix against 1.4.2 won't
be published.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have tried it with the 1.56 client (our
server is v1.5.0) and it seems to be working correctly with that client
version.
Thanks,
Rich S.

You should upgrade your Subversion. I am unable to reproduce this
problem with svn 1.6.1 on Mac OS X:
$ svn export http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/nonexist
svn: URL 'http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/nonexist' doesn't exist
$
