HTTP 400, Error 206: The repository path specified is not in the list of known repositories.

[angel.c...@googlemail.com]

Hi all,

Having a recurring problem with rbt post - whenever I try to post a diff to our RB server I get

The repository path specified is not in the list of known repositories. (HTTP 400, API Error 206)

as a response.

I've configured the repo in RB to point to the root of the SVN repository we're using, and my .reviewboardrc file reads as follows:

REVIEWBOARD_URL = "http://reviewboard.{company_name}.co.uk"

REPOSITORY = "{project_name}"

REPOSITORY_TYPE = "svn"

The repository in RB is set up as follows:

Name: {project_name}

Hosting Service: (None - Custom Repository)

Repository Type: Subversion

Path: http://visualsvn.//company_name//.co.uk/svn/{project_name}

Username: {username}

Password: {password}

svn info on the directory I'm trying to diff reads as follows:

Path: .

Working Copy Root Path: C:\eclipse_workspace

URL: http://visualsvn.{company_name}.co.uk/svn/{project_name}/trunk

Relative URL: ^/trunk

Repository Root: http://visualsvn.{company_name}.co.uk/svn/{project_name}

Repository UUID: {uuid}

Revision: 9394

Node Kind: directory

Schedule: normal

Last Changed Author: {person}

Last Changed Rev: 9391

Last Changed Date: 2018-06-25 14:59:01 +0100 (Mon, 25 Jun 2018)

Finally, rbt post -o --debug outputs:

Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this?

Should mention - I'm running 3.0.7 on the server

[angel.c...@googlemail.com]

Hi all,

I'm still struggling to get this to work - is there anything I should try? 

I know that the perennial cause for this problem is that the repository on RB is not pointing at the root of the SVN repository, but in my case it is!

I'm just quite stuck and not sure what has been misconfigured.

Kind regards,

Angel Cascarino

Hi Angel,

It's not able to match the configured repository name (or path -- but in this case the name -- the error needs to be updated) from .reviewboardrc with what's on the server. This is case-sensitive. Is there any chance there's a casing difference between the two?

It's also possible that you have some access controls set for the repository (making it private) but your user isn't on the access list (or in a group on the access list).

Hi Christian,

So the repository name is entirely numeric (It's just "280") so no casing issues there. That... shouldn't be causing an issue, but I'll try creating a non-numeric repository name and test that in any case.

The repository is set to publicly accessible so that's not the issue either - indeed if I use the Python API to post a review request that works, but then that's to be expected since by getting the repository via root we already have a reference to it.

UPDATE: Deleting the 280 repository and creating a repository called "Test" appears to have worked.

Can you replicate issues with entirely numeric repository names on your end?

Thanks for your help, 

Kind regards.

Angel

[Christian Hammond]

That's the problem. If it's numeric, it'll look for it based on the in-database numeric ID, for legacy reasons. There must be non-numeric characters in the name.

Ah that makes perfect sense!

Thanks again for the help, much appreciated,

Kind regards,

Angel
