Serve and SVN

[Christian Schimanski]

Hi,

i am using Serve with svn and having problems when it comes to export. After checking out an serve svn project i work on it and serve runs fine. After i want to use serve export it runs only if there is no data in the html folder. If there is data i get this eror message 

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/fileutils.rb:1375:in `initialize': Permission denied - html/ubs/fonts/.svn/all-wcprops (Errno::EACCES)

It looks like serve is try to copy/compile files from the.svn folder that is generated automaticaly on checkout. 

I really hope someone know what dto do because at this time everytime i need a new export i need to delete the html folder from svn and commit it new and thats really bad.

Thanks

Unfortunately, there isn’t anything like a .serve-ignore file to ignore files like this.

You are probably on your own to create an export task. What I’d recommend:

1. Use a tool like rake to create your own `rake export` task. Have the task do the following...

2. Copy the appropriate project files into a temporary directory

3. Run `serve export` in that directory

4. Copy the exported files wherever you want

Another option would be to fork serve and add functionality to ignore subversion directories, then send me a pull request.

Rake is a ruby build tool. If you are more of a Javascript guy, you could use Gulp or something similar, too. You just need a script to follow the steps below.

Here’s the link to Rake: https://github.com/jimweirich/rake

Hi Christian, I'm not 100% sure what's causing the initial problem, but if you want to do what John suggests, something like this would work:

from your project directory:

mkdir ../project-tmp

then create a file in your project directory called Rakefile with these contents:

desc "Exporting..."
task :export do
  tmp_dir = "../project-tmp"
  html_dir = "html"
  puts "Exporting site..."
  system("rsync -avz --exclude '*.svn' ./ #{tmp_dir}/")
  system("cd #{tmp_dir} && serve export")
  system("rsync -avz #{tmp_dir}/html/ #{html_dir}/")
end

make sure you have rake installed (gem install rake)

then whenever you need to export, just run:

rake export

from your project directory

The html_dir is the directory you want your final html files exported to. It sound like its' the html directory in your project root.
