svn problems

Post by FindYodaWinCash »

Hi Folks,

So I've encountered some issues with the SVN. I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing these issues.

1) This is a minor issue, but it might be related to the more serious issue below. SVN will no longer commit if there are spaces in file names. It "cannot find these files" because it is looking for the first word of the file only. Now I never normally have spaces in my file names, but these were assets in misc folder, along with a "filename copy.php" which I was just using to preserve some code while I did stuff.

2) When I used the "overwrite working copy" button from a previous revision, I was getting an incomplete overwrite. The files in my "modules/js" folder were not being overwritten. They remained. The log output from svn says they were being overwritten, but they were not.

To further test this, I deleted everything in my working directory and brought in the revision from svn. Both the modules/js and modules/php folders were empty!

This was the same version I packaged up and deployed to alpha production, which clearly has js and php files in the modules/js and modules/php folders. It is fortunate that I use github to backup my code, because that version still has all my files from this version.

My thinking at this time is that the files are still in SVN, but for some reason (Only looking at the top level of files?) it is not restoring these directories. The other possibility is that this version has filenames with spaces stored in SVN and for some reason they are messing with the overwrite from svn.

Project name is linenumberone if that is helpful.

I am not going to release my next version as I am concerned that my code will deploy without these files and will be non-functional.

Thanks,
Dave

Also had some svn issues with another project.
Thoun looked at it as fixed it. I think it was general problem which he fixed.
Just try to rebuild and push that. That helped.

I did a new build and created a new release. This did nothing. My problem is getting a correct copy of earlier version of my code.

I am having the same problem. I cannot successfully build a new version of my game. SVN complains about errors but doesn't specify the error. I did have some files with spaces, as you noted. Those are removed now but still SVN is having trouble, I think because they were there in a previous version.

So my question is: How to get SVN to ignore the old files with spaces, which no longer exist in the new version.
