Getting SVN error "not working copy" during release:prepare
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-199
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-199
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-4, 2.0-beta-5
Environment: PC XP Pro
Reporter: Brian Ely
Priority: Critical
Attachments: testc.txt
I've search around the web finding problems similar but not exactly like mine.
Hopefully someone out there can help me. I'm trying to build a tagged release
and code versioning using maven (2.0.4 & 2.0.5) with subversion (win32-1.4.2).
According to documentation, all I would need to do is do the release:prepare
dryrun first and the full prepare second using the files from the dryrun. This
succeeds in a successful build but no tags.
The next step, release:perform, complains of no tag release during checkout.
I saw a bulletin board conversation indicating that a "release:clean" was
required between the dryrun and full prepare in order to get the tags. This
results in the error "not a working copy" from SVN - see attachment (from the
run of the full prepare with -e -X options). Any run of the release:perform
results in the complaint that the tags does not exist. The exact commands are
as follows:
mvn -DdryRun=true release:prepare
mvn release:clean
mvn -e -X release:prepare
It appears the "working copy" directory was not built out correctly (from the
error log in attachment):
svn: 'C:\Builds\multipgm\Latest\src' is not a working copy
svn: Can't open file 'C:\Builds\multipgm\Latest\src\.svn\entries': The system
cannot find the path specified.
I believe the path is not built out correctly and is missing paths between the
src and .svn.
I appreciate any help here, since this is a showstopper and from what I can
tell should work according to Maven documentation.
