SVN

I decided to install the subversive svn plugins for eclipse and set up an svn erver (Following Paul Bakker’s excellent presentation on Wednesday)

Having found the subversive download locations
you need both the ‘Subversive Plugin’
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ … date-site/
and the ‘subversive connectors’
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subver … date-site/

I tried to add them to the Eclipse environment and get the following error message

That seems to suggest I need to find another plug in first (org.eclipse.dltk.javascript.core) ? is that correct and who or what is Mylyn ? do I need or want it ?

Many thanks to anyone who has any pointers here.

Hi Harry,

Have a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11670

There is an issue in the 4.1 installer, you need to replace a file in your installation with the one given by Johan in the above mentioned thread.

Also, when on Mac, deselect the Subversive connectors with “Win” in their name (after adding the remote site, you get a listing of the available “add-ons” for Eclipse, and there you need to deselect them).

Hope this gets you started,

Paul

Hi Paul

Thanks for the rapid response. I saw that post earlier and thought it was Mac specific.
replacing the feature.xml fixes the error.
Some optional components still produce and error but these can be left unchecked ( I have no idea what they do anyway!)
For anyone wondering
I have set up the ‘VisualSVN’ server on a local Win 2003 server - it takes about 2 minutes
it’s free and can be found here http://www.visualsvn.com/server/

Multiple Servoy desktops seems very happy to update from and commit to it without issues (so far !)

Many thanks

Hi Harry - and any other interested party

Have downloaded svn server and installed on a win server in office and now trying to prep my 4.1 version on my local machine (MBP using OS X 10.5.6)

Used the links in your first post and I am getting blank web pages and even if I go to those pages manually then the downloads still show a blank page and no auto download activity

Anybody else seen this and can advise ?

Cheers
Harry

Those links are auto update sites for Eclipse: You need to enter them in Eclipse, not browse there to download something.

Note: When running SVn server on windows: Windows is case insensitive when it comes to file and directory names. When you start renaming forms/elements/relation etc. and just change the casing, this is known to screw up the SVN Server, so be very carefull, or install the Servoy on Linux.

Paul

Thanks Paul

Just being green on 4.x which I am now using in ernest :?

We have a collaborative dev project where 3 developers are working remotely and we need to get the remotes configured and synced with SVN Server

Cheers

Hi,

How do you connect Serclips to the VisualSvn repositor ?

By seting the repository in Eclipse to https://host:8443/svn/Project ?? or ??

Hans

Hans,

I think so, have you tried it? did it work?

Rob

Hi rob,

I tried that, but that does not work, it can not open a repository with that syntax.

I did the following to get it working :

  • setup VisualSvn
    – url = https://:8443/svn/ServoySvn
    – directory =
    – create a user

  • Start the Servoy Repository “Team” server

  • Start the Servoy Eclipse developer

  • Set the workspace to the directory that is used in the VisualSvn repository

  • checkout the solutions from the Servoy team server

  • stop Servoy teamserver

  • in Servoy Developer remove the default created share from each solution

  • share each solution using Svn

  • set the workspace to the local workspace defined when developer was installed

  • checkout the solutions from the Svn Repsoitory the the local workspace

Now all Svn functionallity is available

I do not know if this is the best way to do it, but it works and it only has to be done once.

Regards,

Hans

Hans,

Best way is to work from an svn client only (like Servoy Developer) and not mess with the directory structure of the svn server directly.

  1. check the solutions out from a Servoy Team Server
  2. unshare the solutions and the resource project
  3. share the solutions and the resource project to the svn repository
  4. commit the first version

From then on other developers can checkout the solutions and the resource project and start making changes.

Rob

Hi Rob,

Did it all over again following your method.

And it works, Thanks !!

B.t.w. the commit was not nescessarry

Realy love to work with 4.1.1 and Svn. It is a BIG step forward for Servoy.

Hans

Well then it is time to update your forum signature

Sorry, did not know about that law !!

Please do not tell anyone :D

hmmm just did a fresh install on mac of servoy 4.1.3
I need to install the subversive plugin, but run into missing components a shown in the attachment
on windows machines I didn’t have the problems…

Anyone out there with the same - already solved - issues?
Or other ideas to get this solved?

[attachment=0]Picture 2.png[/attachment]

don’t ask me why, but today I did a reinstall again, this time using imported bookmarks from another machine. It works…

Probably the weather :wink:

Sorry if this is a duplicate. I didn’t see the post once I thought I submitted it…

Anyway, I am trying to get Servoy up and running on Mac OS X. I am having trouble getting the SVN repository to work.

Here is what I have done.
I have installed Servoy 4.1.3 build 672
Added these sources
download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/e3.3
download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subver … date-site/
Updated mylyn to the current version (I found a forum post about this—it is required for the latest version of the SVN plug-ins)
Installed the latest version of the SVN plug-ins and connectors
Added the SVN repository

The repository will add just fine, but it is totally inactive. You cannot click on it, right-click on it, expand it, nothing. I am not sure where to go from here. Without this, I cannot check out our solutions.

Please help!

Hi J.T.,

You didn’t get any errors when you added the SVN repository connection? Normally it will say “can’t connect” or something and still let you keep the connection (although not working).
Also did you added the (latest versions of the) plugins I mentioned in this thread?
Are you using your own SVN server (what version?) or some service ?

Hi, Rob. I found that I did miss two options:

  • Subversive SVN JDT Ignore Extensions
  • Subversive SVN Team Provider (Incubation)
    I added these, and restarted Servoy. I even re-added the SVN server, but it did not change anything. I still cannot “touch” the SVN servers in any way. We are using out own SVN server. It is hosted on Windows Server 2003. We connect to this server just fine from Servoy on Windows. The SVN server version is “This is Subversion for Win32, version 1.3.2.” from the buildnotes.txt file in the Subversion folder.

Hi J.T.,

Not sure if it makes a difference but your SVN version is very old. Subversion is at version 1.6.3 at this point of time.
You can download the latest Windows (or any platform actually) binary at http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/

Also don’t you get any error message when you connect to the SVN server ?

Rob, that is what baffles me…not a single error. When I add the repository server, it saves quickly and easily, shows right up in the SVN Repositories pane, but I can do nothing with it–including selecting it, right-clicking on it to remove it, expand it, nothing. This is our active SVN repository server that we connect to every day, so I can’t imagine the verison is much of a problem, but I guess it could be. I’m really at a loss as to what to do here. It’s very frustrating.
