SVN checkout on windows enviornment

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi All,

I am trying to checkout a certain folders from svn repository.

I am using this code snippet to checkout a folder from a chef recipe.

subversion “test” do
repository "svn://10.10.101.100/Documents/release/IRUS"
destination "D:\latest_code\IRUS"
revision "HEAD"
action "export"
svn_username "sachin"
svn_password "xxxxxxx"
end

I had also tried using checkout option instead of export but again the same
error.

Does anyone has any idea how to deal with this??

Hi All,

There is a workaround for these errors.
I installed the svn client (with command line options) and then called a
batch resource to checkout code as

execute ‘Install svn client’ do
command "msiexec ADDLOCAL=ALL /i
#{node[:tomcat][:svn_temp_dir]}\#{node[:tomcat][:svn_package_name]} /qn "
action :run
end

batch ‘latest_code’ do
code <<-EOH
set SVNURL="svn://10.10.101.100/Documents/release/IRUS"
set CheckOutLocation="D:\latest_code"
set SVNExe=“C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svn.exe”
%SVNExe% checkout %SVNURL% %CheckOutLocation% --username “sachin”
–password "xxxxxx"
EOH

It worked for me. I don’t know why subversion resource is not working for
svn.

Thanks,
Sachin
