Error parsing svn output: #<REXML::ParseException: No close tag for /lists/list>
Added by Sergey Kolodyazhnyy about 13 years ago
Hi, everyone
Today I have tried to setup Redmine to work with SVN server trough HTTPS protocol but it's not working. In production.log I have found this exception:
No close tag for /lists/list Line:. Position:. Last 80 unconsumed characters: Output was: <?xml version="1.0"?> <lists> <list path="https://mysvnrepository/svn/project1">
It look like invalid XML format in SVN output and Redmine can't parse it. Also I have found issue #3929 which discribe same problem and it's closed (but I didn't saw working solution).
Server configuration:
- VirtualSVN server (on the separate server, I have no access to it configuration)
- SVN client 1.6
- Redmine (1.2 stable, up-to-date from svn repository)
- Apache 2.2 + mod_passanger

Is the SVN repo and Redmine instance on the same or separate servers?

Hi.
I took me lots of time to understand (i'm not a coder) but I think it's a bug due to the recent introduction of "salt" passwords in Redmine 1.2
I suppose that the Redmine.pm perl script doesn't support it.
Basically every new installation of redmine can't use the SVN integration!
I will open e bug soon because it's a big issue.
p.s.
To verifiy you can chande the hashed_passord for your user with a pure sha-1 hash of the password and it will work.

I don't think so... I got this error in redmine 1.1, so I have updated it to 1.2 because I thought that it fixed in newest version.
I think (i'm a PHP developer) it's related to Ruby XML parser, which very demanding to XML format (for example PHP xml parser works OK with \n in tags).

But, of course, "No close tag for /lists/list" may means that ">" symbol is not exists, or that tag <list> is not closed (by </list> tag), so may be it's related to some output buffering mistake...

This error can be a symptoms of various problems (also related to files permissions). It's very generic (google for it) but I don't think is related to the parser.
Can be also related to the certificate for https svn repo (google for it).
I proposed a solution to verify my theory, have you tried if it fix for you?

Yep, I have tried to get certificate (by adding --trust-certificate option to svn auth string) and fix file permissions. Both of this solutions was discribed in issue #3929, but it's not help ( And now, I seeking for solution here.

About your solution,
I can't understand exactly what I should todo. I found few entries in code, but my Ruby knowledge is not well

Hi Sergey.
I resolved my issue. I was using and old version :( of Redmine.pm without the support of salt password as I said before.
If you upgraded in the right way (copy the new script in the usr/lib/perl5/apache2/ dir, and you restarting apache) you are not in my situation.
So, I was wrong, the current Redmine.pm for SVN supports salt password:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/diff/trunk/extra/svn/Redmine.pm?rev=4936&rev_to=4309
If you checked file permissions and the cert stuff, I finished my suggestion for your problem.
If you login from command line it works?
svn ls https://mysvnrepository/svn/project1
Good luck!

First of all, thank you very much for answers
I'm using Redmine through mod_passanger, so it do not using Redmine.pm at all (it's Perl Module for Apache as I understand). But, anyway, I have checked my version of this file, it's with salt.

svn ls https://mysvnrepository/svn/project1
Works correctly. So, I still, think that it's strict standards of REXML.

Redmine.pm is a perl script used to integrate and log in the SVN repo with your redmine credential.
See:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Repositories_access_control_with_apache_mod_dav_svn_and_mod_perl

You can not use svn and Redmine without configure it.

Hi,
The SVN server located at the separate server (Windows by the way) and I have no access to it configuration. All that I have it's a URL, login and password :) and it should be enough.

I have couple of projects in Redmine and most of them use SVN via file protocol (it's my SVN server) but one of them use external SVN via HTТPS protocol. And everything works except this one :(

Why not just change the line
str << " --no-auth-cache --non-interactive"
to:
str << " --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --trust-server-cert"

I had the same problem on windows with redmine 2.3 , subversion 1.8.3 (VisualSVN) and self signed certificate.
1. run from windows command line
svn list --xml "https://<url>"@HEAD --non-interactive --username "some" --password "some_pass" --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --trust-server-cert
Accept certificate permanently if you asked for.
2. Use some
and some_pass
when you connect from redmine

I forgot to mention that you have also to add --trust-server-cert
in subversion_adapter.rb
along as with --no-auth-cache --non-interactive
Also restart web server after this change on subversion_adapter.rb

Obviously if your copy of redmine runs as a user other than www-data you should sudo using that user instead. Make sure the user you sudo to has the necessary permissions to create an /svn directory inside the redmine directory - otherwise you may not be given the option to (p)ermanently accept the certificate when you run the svn client.

Solved! I had same problem for Redmine 3.1.1 and solved it by adding "--trust-server-cert" into the subversion_adapter.rb file:

Today i found another remedy for the problem:
I removed the hidden ".subversion" directory at my user path i.e. "/home/user/.subversion"
Then clicked on "Repository" button of the project page in my redmine to re-read the repository data from svn. It worked without any problem!!!

Eventually it worked for me for expired certificate once I did svn co in temp folder, as user under which Redmine runs...
