[Buildbot-devel] SVNPoller: how to debug? doesn't seem to notice changes

[Chris Shenton]

Oh, I'm being an idiot/newbie.  In my master instance directory I just  
noticed twisted.log which is complaining:

2008-09-09 13:38:50-0400 [-] _finished : [Failure instance: Traceback  
(failure with no frames):

So I'm guessing it can't find 'svn'.  So I specify it explicitly:

c['change_source'] = SVNPoller(svnurl="http://svnserver.hq.nasa.gov/svn/smd/MasterSite/schwag_buildout/ 
\
", # trunk, branches
                                split_file=split_file_branches, #  
determine branches/branchname/files...
                                pollinterval=1*60, # default is 10*600
                                svnbin="/usr/local/bin/svn", #  
explicit path or OSError no such file
                                )

And that helps, but now it's complaining about the --xml flag that Ted  
Zlatanov just mentioned:

> 2008-09-09 13:49:17-0400 [-] SVNPoller failed
> 2008-09-09 13:49:17-0400 [-] _finished : [Failure instance:  
> Traceback (failure with no frames): <type 'exce\
> ptions.IOError'>: got stderr: "Subcommand 'info' doesn't accept  
> option '--xml'\nType 'svn help info' for us\
> age.\n"
>         ]

I'm currently running my master on an elderly OSX 10.4 server which  
has svn-1.2.3, so it doesn't recognize the --xml flag.   Is there a  
workaround for this?

Thanks
