SVN 1.2-rc4 over the hurdle...

[NormW <no...@bocnet.com.au>]

Good evening All,
A build for NetWare shows a clean output for 1.2-rc4 so that's the first 
hurdle for Netware done....

What I haven't done up to this point is actually get time to test the 
resulting nlm's. I suspect svnserve will be a major headache (on the 
NetWare platform), so would like to try some testing from a remote 
client through the apache/webDAV interface. Are there any 'generic' 
scripts that I can run on a Win2K box that will exercise the NetWare 
modules running on another machine?

Thanks again,
Norm

Norm,

We faced a similar challenge in our port of subversion to the IBM iSeries, 
namely that we run the test scripts from a Windows client (XP pro SP2 in 
our case) against our iSeries server.  Unfortunately I haven't gotten 
around to making any generic scripts to do this, but what follows is how 
I've made this work and if you change the path names to protect the 
innocent perhaps it will be useful to you.

1) Map a drive 'Z:' on your Win box to the root of your remote NetWare 
server (I know nothing about NetWare and am assuming you can do this...if 
not this probably won't help you).

2) Create two identical test paths on your Win box and the NetWare server:
 
   Z:\home\BURBA\REPOS\SVNTESTAREA
   C:\home\BURBA\REPOS\SVNTESTAREA

3) Place the appropriate location directives in your httpd.conf file:

   <Location 
/home/BURBA/REPOS/SVNTESTAREA/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/repositories>
       DAV svn  
       SVNParentPath 
/home/BURBA/REPOS/SVNTESTAREA/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/repositories
   </Location>  
   <Location 
/home/BURBA/REPOS/SVNTESTAREA/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/local_tmp/repos> 
 
       DAV svn  
       SVNPath 
/home/BURBA/REPOS/SVNTESTAREA/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/local_tmp/repos 
 
   </Location>  

4) Apply the attached patch to 
subversion\tests\clients\cmdline\svntest\main.py:



5) Start your Apache server 

6) Run the tests from your client:

   C:\SVN\src-trunk>win-tests.py -r -f fsfs -u http://Zeus:8099 
C:\home\BURBA\REPOS\SVNTESTAREA

7) Bathe in the glory of all those "*.py...success" messages :-)

Hope that helps.
