Unable to freeze:edge

Rails

Hi,

Whenever I try to rake rails:freeze:edge it fails.

Here is the trace:

(in D:/work/radrails/rdepot)
** Invoke rails:freeze:edge (first_time)
** Execute rails:freeze:edge
d:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/core_ext/k
ernel/agnostics.rb:7: [BUG] rb_sys_fail(svn --version) - errno == 0
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]

abnormal program termination

This is on Windows 2000.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi James,

have you got the svn command line client installed? Search for
subversion on
google and you will find it.

Cheers,

Hi Jan,

I have installed TortoiseSVN but that has not made a difference.

Thanks

Thanks, Jan - I have now installed the svn binaries as well.
svn help gives the usage info correctly.

However my problem has changed - trace below:

Yes, this is because you don’t need tortoise but the command line
libraries:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91

What does ‘svn help’ on the command line give you. Unless there’s
something
happing but ‘command unknown’ you’ve got installation and or path
problems.

Hi James,

the configuration is working fine for me. I’ve just tried it over my
connection and all went well.

Your problem seems to be that on your connection you don’t even come
that
far to read the svn-properties. The connection seems to get closed
immediatly. You need to find out why this is happening. It might be only
a
temporary problem by dev.rubyonrails.org but if it persists you need to
do
some research…

Are you able to check out rails from the command line without using the
rake
tasks by using ‘svn co
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk’?http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Jan,

If I try to checkout from the command line I get:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on ‘/svn/rails/trunk’
svn: PROPFIND of ‘/svn/rails/trunk’: Could not read status line:
connection was
closed by server. (http://dev.rubyonrails.org)

As you say, it seems to be an issue with the connection.
If anyone has any ideas, I’d be interested to hear them.

Thanks for your help.
James

I had a similar problem to this a while ago. I can’t be sure if it’s the
same problem because it was a good while ago!

I was behind a proxy and had to set an env variable. I can’t remember
exactly which one now, I don’t have my computer at work. A google or
even
rake rails:freeze:edge --help may give you a clue.

If this isn’t the issue, one other thing to try is make sure there are
no
spaces in your path to the rails project.

If it’s neither of these two, I can’t help. Sorri

Thanks Daniel

  1. I don’t connect with a proxy. (I expect the env variable you mention
    is http_proxy)
  2. There are no spaces in my project’s path.

Could my router or ISP be interfering somehow?
