Hi, This is my first time posting here. Hopefully I'm posting to the right list with the right formatting and such. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes.
I am not subscribed to the list and would appreciate being CC:ed in any responses. I have already posted a description of my issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33789148/svn-e165001-commit-blocked-by-pre-commit-hook-exit-code-255-with-no-output I'm not sure if I should replicate that post entirely here or try to provide the parts that I feel may be more useful and try to avoid what may be useless detail. For now I will attempt the latter, but it may be useful to view the link as well. I can also copy the post if that is desired. I'm configuring Phabricator to host a repository and almost everything seems to be working. The only issue that I'm currently aware of is that commits are never successful. Instead the client always gives a message "svn: E165001: Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 255) with no output". This error seems to occur independent of the actual script. It happens when using the default hook installed by Phabricator and also occurs with very simple hooks like the following: #!/bin/sh echo "testing" >&2 exit 1 I would expect this script to fail due to the error code and provide the error message "testing". Instead I receive the previously mentioned error message. If I change the exit code to 0, it still fails with the same message. Basically, this happens with any pre-commit script, regardless of the script's contents. Based on a discussion in the #svn IRC channel, I tried the following: sudo svn mkdir file:///var/repo/SVN/TestFolder -m "Add test folder" with the following output: svn: E165001: Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output: testing So this implies that the hook can work and may not be at fault at all. Normally changes to the repository are made like so: svn mkdir svn+ssh://v...@phabricator.example.com/diffusion/SVN/TestFolder -m "Testing" This seems to cause the vcs user to sudo to the phd user and run: svnserve -t --tunnel-user=foven I really have no idea what is causing this issue at this point. It could be some sort of permissions or ownership issue, but I've tested the hook like this: [phd@phabricator ~]$ env -i /var/repo/SVN/hooks/pre-commit testing and this: [phd@phabricator ~]$ env - /var/repo/SVN/hooks/pre-commit testing (which I think should be identical) and both ways work. I can even run the script this way as the tunneled user. I'm not sure if this is actually necessary or advised (is it?), but seems to indicate that if the script is run as the tunneled user, it shouldn't be causing this issue. I have seen where SELinux has caused this problem for others in the past, but SELinux is disabled. Any help is greatly appreciated.
