Redmine

What version are you using?

I'm using SVN trunk, and for some time (r1163?) there's been an "Autofetch commits" option in Administration » Settings » Repositories that does exactly that.

I confirm, this option is available in 0.6.3. And it should do exactly what you're asking for (retreive the commits when you click the repository tab). See 'Autofetch commits' in application settings.

Make sure this option is checked and tell me if it doesn't work. Just one question: does the repository browsing work ?
Another option is to add a simple cron job that runs Repository.fetch_changesets.

I was hoping that the Autofetch commits option would solve my issue, but it doesn't.
I have to drop into the command line and run rake redmine:fetch_changesets every time by hand.

The remote SVN server is running Subversion 1.4.2.

I was able to find the culprit in the logfile.

It looks like the user that you use to run the app can not access the repository. That's why it works when do it manually.
Can you check that ? And are you able to browse the repository from within the app ?

I believe that you have full control over the repository but the 'svn list' command fails and I can't guess why. Can you run this command from the host where redmine runs:

svn list --xml http://XXXXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYYYY

Here is the snippet from the command svn list --xml http://XXXXX/YYYYY as requested.

[server]$ svn list --xml http://XXXXX/YYYYY

I just created a free account at http://www.unfuddle.com to see if it is just my remote Subversion server, but the Unfuddle.com Subversion behaves exactly the same. Not any different.

• Created account at unfuddle.com
• Created new project in redmine
• Created Repository section with proper username and password + Subversion's URL @ unfuddle.com
• Dropped into command line and checked out the newly created repository from unfuddle.com
• Added a file to the repository by editing test.rb
• Ran svn add test.rb
• Ran svn commit
• Commited file successfully
• Switched to Redmine and clicked on the Repository tab
• Redmine did not show the commit
• Dropped into command line on the server (at my house) and ran rake redmine:fetch_changesets
• Clicked on Repositories again and this time it would show the commit I made
• Edited the test.rb file again, commited it again as before
• Clicked on the Repository tab again and it did not fetch the new commit

I hope that helps.

I've just made a quick test with an Unfuddle repository and everything works fine.

The result you get when the command is ran by the app (only the xml first tags):

<lists>
<list
path="http://XXXXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYYYY">

means that the repository can not be accessed and I can't tell you why.

Could you try to change (in lib/redmine/scm/adapters/subversion_adapter.rb) this:

cmd = "#{SVN_BIN} list --xml #{target(path)}@#{identifier}"

to:

cmd = "#{SVN_BIN} list --xml #{target(path)}@#{identifier} 2>&1"

and see the result in the log after having restarted the app.

Jean-Phillippe,

THAT fixed it. Thank you VERY much!
Redirecting stderr to stdout was the solution to this issue.

Again, thank you very much!
