Hi there,

We are using SVN for an Unreal Engine project.
We've been using it for a while with no major issues (most were due to our learning curve...).

However, we've encountered a weird problem that prevents us from committing changes.
Running Cleanup, which usually fixes stuff like that, produces the following error:
---------------------------
TortoiseSVN
---------------------------
Cleanup failed to process the following paths:
Z:\Projects\Unreal Engine\*****\Alpha
Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with 'Z:\Projects\Unreal
 Engine\*****\Alpha', work item 5686 (file-install
 Content/Materials/Blue_Sea_Mat.uasset 1 0 1 1)
The system cannot find the path specified.  
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

The missing file is a regular Unreal Engine 4 asset. Similar to dozens others we create all the time with no problems. Trying to recreate, add, copy, move or delete it didn't solve the problem.

I'm using the latest versions:
TortoiseSVN 1.9.5, Build 27581 - 64 Bit , 2016/11/26 09:18:58
Subversion 1.9.5, -release
apr 1.5.2
apr-util 1.5.4
serf 1.3.9
OpenSSL 1.0.2j  26 Sep 2016
zlib 1.2.8
SQLite 3.14.1

No matter what I've tried, nothing seems to work...

Any idea of the cause?
Is there a way to manually delete/add it from the WC DB?

Thanks
Shai

If you have the SVN command line tools installed, pls try svn cleanup on
the WC directory and paste its error message (it's fine to obscure the
paths in there). I made the experience that in some cases the svn
cleanup error output is a bit more verbose than the one displayed by
TSVN and this might speed up troubleshooting the issue over the wire.

Thanks Stefan,

Here is the output of the SVN command line tool:
Z:\Projects\Unreal Engine\*****\Alpha>svn cleanup
svn: E155009: Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with 'Z:\Projects\Unreal Engine\****\Alpha', work item 5686 (file-install Content/Materials/Blue_Sea_Mat.uasset 1 0 1 1)
svn: E720003: The system cannot find the path specified.

Thanks so much!

Cheers,
Shai

sometimes it helps to just create that file again (create an empty file
with the same name) and then run cleanup again.

if not, you'd have to check out a fresh working copy.
