Steve, This is useful. I will keep an open mind.
Thank you,

svn does not always return success. For instance:
> svn ls
svn: '.' is not a working copy
> echo $?
1
I think this is the more normal mode that I script against. I'm not sure why
the update sub-command is so forgiving.

Steve,
Thank you for taking the time.
I also saw this....I was wondering what users do to get something similar
working.
The same thing happens under Perforce. The command "p4" always returns a
successful exit code. The way around that is the odd "-s" switch which causes
the
tool to emit a string like "exit: #" where the underlying commands success or
failure
was specified. Is there perhaps some similar technique for SVN?
I checked the svn Global Options and did not see anything similar.
I suppose that I can just use a pipe and watch for strings that I expect.....
Take care,
Christopher

Christopher,
The problem is not with your perl code. Apparently, update returns success if
you give it a path that does not exist in the current working directory.
Ø svn update foobar
At revision 3158.
Ø echo $?
0
For Svn 1.6.15, anyway. Seems to hold for linux & windows.

Subject: SVN question
Hello,
I have been wondering how best to capture errors from
the SVN command line.
I wanted to show you how a basic test is failing.
Consider the simple code snippet:
==========================================
use strict;
my $options=" --username builduser --password XXXX";
chdir("C:\\source");
my $output = `svn update --depth=infinity mang $options`;
die "svn failed with errorcode $?" if $?;
print "We survived!\n";
==========================================
This command works if the "mang" above is changed to "main"
(which does exist at c:\source).
However, both code have this result:
==========================================
C:\source\cm\script>perl svntest.pl
We survived!
C:\source\cm\script>perl svntest.pl
We survived!
==========================================
What am I doing wrong?
Chris
