Error opening a newly defined repository

[peter haworth]

Just started using svnX today and originally downloaded v 1.3, set up a couple of repositories and all worked fine.  Then saw on this forum there is a v2 so I downloaded that.  Added one of the same repositories I had in v1.3 (the browser button did nothing but I was able to drag and drop the filename form the Finder onto the URL field.  When I try to open it, I get error:

"svn: E155007: '/Users/Dad/Google%20Drive/RevDev/Subversion/cms' is not a working copy"

Confused because it's a repository not a working copy.  Same repository opens just fine in v1.3.  This is on OSX 10.12.6 (Sierra).

Hello Pete,

That’s because you’ve entered a path rather than a URL - so the `svn` command decided it must be to a WC.

Try prepending the path with ‘file:///’.

Alternatively open the svnX help window and try one of the methods describe in Common tasks ▷ Add a repository bookmark.

[Alternatively 2 - If you enter ‘repository’ in the search field of the Help menu then it should display an item named ‘Tasks - Add a repository bookmark’.]

Hope that helps,

CHRIS
