Cant connect to SVN repository using RB 1.1 alpa 2

[pk]

Hi all,

I installed Review Board 1.1 alpha 2 on Ubuntu m/c, a couple of days
back, installation went okay
but since I'm trying to add a remote svn repository to ReviewBoard
through
the admin UI.


The Path i use to enter is what i get from the "svn info" command, its
something like this

svn+ssh://pankaj@build1/svn


I have tried all combinations of with and without the username.

Error I get is: "A repository was not found at the specified path."
I have entered correct credential and I did see the trust message
coming which
i accepted but i see the above error then.

I have tried connecting to some other repositories as well (using svn
+ssh), but with no success.
I'm able to connect to the same locations from the server on the
command terminal I'm running Review Board on.

I'm stuck because after a lot of googling and and also lookin at
review board logs, there was not a lot of progress.

Can some one help me. Thanks in advance !

Regards,
Pankaj

Hi,

Is this hosted on a Windows or Linux install?

What happens if you check out that repo on the same box?

Did it ever prompt you for confirmation on the host key?

Hi Christian,

Is this hosted on a Windows or Linux install?

- Its hosted on a Ubuntu m/c.

What happens if you check out that repo on the same box?

The repository is on a remote m/c which is accessed over VPN,
I dont wont to have a local copy of the repository !

Did it ever prompt you for confirmation on the host key?

Yes, it did I accepted the confirmation but after that it lead to
Error : "A repository was not found at the specified path."

I'm able to connect to the same repository to the same path
thr' the command prompt/terminal


Also, the reviewboard logs i have configured for "Allow code
profiling" option
but there are no logs for the failure, I do see logs for the
successful authentication

I'm stuck now, we have a couple project repositories which we wanted
to use the tool
with most of them use SVN i.e. svn+ssh access !!


Appreciate your help in advance !!

Are you guys able to perform a checkout with that exact repository path on the server?

Did it prompt you for SSH host verification?

Yes, I'm able to use the exact same repository url from command line without problems.

svn co svn+ssh://svn.example.com/path/to/repo/

 

Did it prompt you for SSH host verification?

Yes, and I clicked OK to add the host, the host was added to the .ssh directory as expected.

Can you edit your reviewboard/scmtools/svn.py and, in check_repository, replace each "print ..." statement with: logging.info(...) ? Then try again and see what the log file says.

(Those prints should have been log statements originally. I'll fix that probably tonight.)

Oh, you will also need to add "import logging" to the top of the file.

Sure, I'll try this tomorrow at work.

Thanks for looking into this

I edited svn.py and got the following logs:

I also tried to run pysvn in the interactive shell to see if it works. It worked:

>>> import pysvn

>>> client = pysvn.Client()

>>> client.set_default_username('username')

>>> client.set_default_password('password')

>>> client.info2('svn+ssh://svn.example.com/path/to/trunk/', recurse=False)

[('trunk', <PysvnInfo ''>)]

I still havent been able to complete the installation... any news on
this?

[Christian Hammond]

Can you look at my previous posts in this thread and answer those questions as well? That'll help narrow this down for your setup.
