Svnant does not support svn version 1.7. what to do

antsvnsvnant

I'm using tortoise svn, and recently I updated to version 1.7. Still, in our build system (ant script) we use svnant lib (to get current revision number, we use it as version number). So can no longer build the project as svnant does not support 1.7 version of svn. How can I solve this problem?

Thank you in advance!

You can use the command line version of svn.

Download and Install it on your machine
Include it in your Path (so that you can execute svn from the command line)

Change the svnsettings to

<svnSetting
    svnkit="false"
    javahl="false"
    id="svn.settings"/>

svnant will then use the command line version to do all svn things.

This will work anywhere. It uses the java system property user.name.

<property environment="env" />
<echo message="user: ${user.name}" />

R – svnant – parent dir in server is not a working copy

Please, check that you have the same version of SVN installed on server and on client (svn --version).

Also, I would like to recall you that svnant is binding to SVN 1.5 and if on server side you have 1.6 version, you can get similar behavior.

How to resolve the issue: switch your script from javahl to svnkit. I.e. add svnkit jars to your classpath and add to all svnant related commands appropriate hint:

javahl="false" svnkit="true"
