Hi, Steve, Maybe one of the libsvn bindings for perl does a better service than calling the command line utility?

Mai 2011 22:54 An: Varnau, Steve (Neoview); users@subversion.apache.org Betreff: RE: SVN question 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 From: Varnau, Steve (Neoview) Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 1:33 PM To: Hahn, Christopher (SAN DIEGO); users@subversion.apache.org Subject: RE: SVN question 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. ➢ svn update foobar At revision 3158. ➢ echo $? 0 For Svn 1.6.15, anyway. Seems to hold for linux & windows. -Steve From: Hahn, Christopher (SAN DIEGO) Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 11:34 AM To: users@subversion.apache.org 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?
