Cap: deploy with "svn info" that doesn't know --username?

Rails Deployment

Hi all

Sadly my hoster uses an old version of Subversion whose “info” command
doesn’t know the --username argument:

[email protected] [~/railsapps/shop]# cap deploy:update

  • executing `deploy:update’
    ** transaction: start
  • executing `deploy:update_code’
    Subcommand ‘info’ doesn’t accept option ‘–username arg’
    Type ‘svn help info’ for usage.
    *** [deploy:update_code] rolling back
  • executing “rm -rf
    /home/incensec/railsapps/cap/shop/releases/20081016194121; true”

I tried it using an explicit revision number (I’ve read that should work
somewhere on google), but still I’m having problems:

[email protected] [~/railsapps/shop]# cap deploy:update -s revision=10

anyone got an idea? Thanks, Josh

Hey Josh,

Think your problem is 2 fold:

First,

Subcommand ‘info’ doesn’t accept option ‘–username arg’
Type ‘svn help info’ for usage.
*** [deploy:update_code] rolling back

Think your version of the client doesn’t support passing the username
arg for the “info” command. If you run “svn --version” it should tell
you the version.

–password --no-auth-cache -rHEAD’ and got unexpected result “”
(RuntimeError)

The problem here is the log line " stdin: is not a tty". If you look
at the svn command, its will end up expecting a Password to be input.
Don’t think you’ve added that.

BTW, be careful posting logs on public forums - don’t really want to
accidentally divulge sensitive info (like passwords!)

HTH! :slight_smile:

Roopinder.
