Build Error: svn: Working copy '.' locked

["VanIngen, Erik (ESTG)" <Er...@fao.org>]

Hi continuum, 

We are using continuum 1.1-beta-3 on Windows 2000. It is working fine but
today all of the sudden there is this message:

****************************************************************************
Build Error:
****************************************************************************
Provider message: The svn command failed.
Command output: 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
svn: Working copy '.' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
Type 'svn help' for usage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Kind Regards,
Erik van Ingen

Hi,
You have to go to continuum Working Directory/${projectId} then do a svn
cleanup.
Working Directory is configured in your continuum instance.

It is a message from the svn command (invoked by continuum) to say that
the working copy it is using is locked, and so it cannot continue.

svn protects the working copy while it is working with it by locking the
working copy. If you kill svn (by stopping continuum while it is busy for
example), then the working copy stays locked, and you need to run "svn
cleanup" to fix it.

Find the directory containing your working copy inside continuum, and run
"svn cleanup", or alternatively just delete the working copy, and
continuum will check out a fresh one from scratch.

Regards,
Graham
