No hooks triggered!

[Stromek <st...@realtime.sk>]

Hi all,

I am desperate about svn hooks. Subversion is claiming that it
automatically calls hooks if they are in place (repos/hooks). Take for
example post-commit. I copied post-commit.tmpl to post-commit, set and
checked permissions for executing the hook and tried simple test. Here
is the hook:

#!/bin/sh

/bin/echo "whatever" > "post-commit.log"

I'm using svn protocol and if I perform commit post-commit is not triggered. I
don't know where to check whether svn is really triggering this hook. Is
it possible to turn on some verbose log? Or something else where I can
see why this hook is not called? Or is there anybody with any idea that
I can try? Thanks!

On Windows, the path is set to something weird, and so files you  
create with relative paths do get created, but probably not where you  
wanted them. On Unix/Linux/Mac OS X, the path is empty, so files you  
try to create with relative paths do not get created anywhere. In  
both cases, you should use absolute paths.

That is correct; it cannot work if you just call the script without  
specifying the path to it, unless you first define the path  
correctly. The example hook script doesn't attempt to do either,  
which is confusing. Perhaps the example hook script should be improved.

It probably is triggered, you just haven't told it where to put the  
file. Use only absolute paths in hook scripts, or else set $PATH at  
the beginning to what you want it to be.


#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo "whatever" > "/tmp/post-commit.log"

	The script may not have execute permission for the particular user,  
or group
that svnserve (svn and http urls) and svn (file urls) runs as.
Check group flags on the script, and to which owner and group it  
belongs.
In particular, when running the cp command, the owner and group of the
file is set to the owner and default group of the administration  
account from which cp
is run.
