post-commit.bat to create copy of commited file
Hi,
I need subversion to automatically create a copy of the file which was
commited in a new location on the server file system. I am aware that I
should be using the post-commit.bat hook (Server on Win 2003) but I am
unable to find the correct SVN or SVNADMIN utility to use. Moreover I do not
know how I would use the two parameters which post-commit.bat has access to,
namely: REPOS="$1" and REV="$2"
If someone could shed some light on this I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advanced
Hugh

It could be that it's asking for credentials (username/password).
These were probably already cached when you ran it from the command
line, but when the hook script is being run it's happening as a
different user so it doesn't have that information cached. You may
need to supply it using the --username and --password arguments. You
should also use the --non-interactive argument since a hook script
cannot be interactive with the svn command. You should write the
error output of svn update to a file so that you can examine its
contents and see what's actually going wrong. Like (I think this
works on Windows too):
svn update 2 > C:\[someplacethisusercanwrite]\svn.error.log

Thanks Ryan,
I sort of worked out that I should be using 'svn update'. I have written the
following post-commit.bat file:
D:
cd D:[my file path]\workingCopy\
PATH C:\Program Files\subversion\svn-win32-1.4.6\bin\;
mkdir demoDirToShowItIsBeingRunOK
svn update
This post-commit.bat file runs fine from the command line: it performs the
svn update on the required working copy. However, when I perform a commit
from a remote PC (using Tortoise) the post-commit hook runs fine (because I
can now see a newly created directory 'demoDirToShowItIsBeingRunOK') but the
crucial 'svn update' command is not being run. I am thinking this is to do
with permissions but am a loss to explain it...
any ideas?
thanks for you help,
Hugh

Did you install Subversion, available from http://
subversion.tigris.org/ ? It provides the svn and svnadmin command
line programs, among other things.

If you want to know what files were affected by the revision, you
would call "svnlook changed" and pass it the repository location and
the revision.
Now... Why do you want to copy files manually? Perhaps there's a
better way to accomplish your goal. Perhaps you can simply "svn
update" a working copy on your server after every commit. Then you
don't have to worry about what changed, and instead you let
Subversion handle it for you. Or if that doesn't suit you, maybe you
can explain your use case and we can help find a good solution.
