Visual Studio build fails because .svn\wc.db is open
Steve Yates
- Create a directory in my repository under /branches (as I was directed)
- Checkout the empty branch to my populated build directory
- SVN Commit the directory to the repository (which uploaded all the files)
At this point if I try to build again, I get the message:
Error 5 Unable to delete file "C:\Users\.....\Test Server\\.svn\wc.db". The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\.....\Test Server\\.svn\wc.db' because it is being used by another process.
So presumably that's because TortoiseSVN has wc.db open and thus Visual Studio can't delete it to repopulate the folder. How do I work around that? Is there a better way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

I killed the TSVNCache.exe process and could rebuild, however, it seems to have lost the link to the repository since the wc.db file is (of course) missing. Ideas? Do I need to build, copy those files into a different folder, and commit from there?

Why does your build even try to delete that file? It must not even touch
that file or any other file inside the hidden .svn folder!
Change your build accordingly, or SVN won't work at all.

If you have problems with Visual Studio and Subversion, try AnkhSVN or VisualSVN. They integrate Subversion directly into visual studio.

This is typically an advanced user's choice to commit binaries... you
might want to discuss the reasons behind that.

In between you also "svn add"ed some files, otherwise there wouldn't
have been anything to upload.

SVN 1.7 only create a single .svn dir in the root of a working copy
(older SVNs did so in every versioned subdir!). If you now check out the
parent folder instead of the one where your working copy currently
begins, there won't be a .svn dir in the place where it currently causes
problems.
> Is there a better way to accomplish this?
You might want to take a look at svn_load_dirs. This tool syncs a folder
inside a repository with the state of a folder on disk. This would also
take care of adding and deleting files automatically, which is
reasonable when the files were already generated automatically.
Good luck!

By default Visual Studio empties the target directory on each build.

So, create a folder inside the working copy and make that the target build folder.

This is one of many reasons that the standard practice is to do the
exact opposite of what you're doing - tell SVN to ignore the bin & obj
directories completely, and only version the source code &
configuration files needed to build the project.

Our client is operating some web sites for their client, who hosts the web servers. The third party wants the repository to push code to the live sites but our client doesn't want to give them the source. Odd, I know.

The Commit will start with an Add if the repository folder is empty.

Ok thanks I will look into that. I didnt know i could start at a higher level. Can I just do one folder then? (VS with the web deployment add on puts all builds under the same parent directory.
Really I just need a basic one way sync. :)
I played some last night with copying to a second folder and syncing that which seems to work ok too.

I realize I'm not using SVN as intended, just trying to keep the client happy... :)

You may want to look at an intermediate step between the repository &
the live site, like a CI server. CI server retrieves the source from
the repository, builds, then deploys the built items to the site.

Move to 1.7... the .svn folder is only in the root working copy folder in that case so you won't have an issue.

And apparently their source is not versioned, but the compiled artifacts are.

DOH!
So, I would say create a folder that is a working copy and add a build event to Visual Studio that copies the binaries to the WC after a successful build.

That's essentially what I ended up doing, though I have it as a separate .cmd file at the moment. "Robocopy src dest /mir /DCOPY:T /XD .svn" will mirror all changes yet exclude (leave alone) the .svn directory in the target.
