Cannot non-recursively commit a directory deletion of a directory with child nodes

[Adrián Chapela]

Hello,

I am getting this error and I have no idea the reason. I have marked
four folders for its deletion and these folders have files and
sub-folders, but what is the reason to the error ? and more important
How could I solve my commit problem ?

I have searched information and the solution seems to be do a commit
folder by folder and then the other commit files (added files, modified
files...). Is this real ? I have installed the last release of
TortoiseSVN but the problem hasn't gone away.

Thank you!

The clue is in the error message. You can only delete a directory
recursively. If you uncheck one of the child nodes, and possibly if
you local modifications to the child nodes, you cannot commit,
otherwise you would get orphaned items.

All of files aren't modified and they are checked for the commit, could
be a problem with some child ignore file ? All files and sub-folders
have been dissapeared from the working copy, only remain the parent
folder with a red cross. But I can't do a commit.

Have you another idea ?

I have discovered the problem. The problem was that TorToise have
detected that the root folder of the project was modified. I have to
commit the root_folder independently of the other changes, deletions, etc.

Other problem was the uploading the changes then. I have marked for
deletion this folder: /root_folder/images and then I have uploaded the
next folder: /root_folder/new/images. The folders are totally
different. The deletions have made very well but the commit have ignore
/root_folder/new/images folder, Why could be the reason for that ? The
folder didn't appear in the TortoiseSVN commit dialog and I need delete
the folder and copy again to my working copy to do a new commit.

I don't know the reason of this failures. I am using the last version of
TortoiseSVN.

I'm getting same wired problem recently, simply delete a folder and cannot commit. got error:

Cannot non-recursively commit a directory deletion of a directory with child nodes
To commit recursively and work around this error,
make sure that all child items of a checked folder
are also checked in the commit dialog.
Otherwise, TortoiseSVN must do a non-recursive commit
which does not allow directory deletion.

I think I can confirm it is a issue with tortoise. first of all, it was such a simply delete of an folder that has 5 files, all under version control, not ignore. Then I got the error from tortoise when commit.

Then I turned to SVN command line, it committed the deletion without any problem.

I have to use command line for now unfortunately.

You're replying to a year-old post. What version of Tortoise are you using?
