[Buildbot-devel] Help getting SVN step to work

[Amy Troschinetz]

I'm trying to do something relatively simple, just updating a SVN repo as part of a step in one of our configurations build factories. In master.cfg:

f = factory.BuildFactory()
f.addStep(Mercurial(repourl='/services', branchType='inrepo', defaultBranch='default'))
f.addStep(SVN(svnurl='https://paris:8443/svn/clickforensics/TRUNK/Common/Python', workdir='build/services/bin', mode='full', username='buildbot', password='bu1ldb0t'))
f.addStep(Test(command=['./unittest'], description=['unit tests'], descriptionDone=['unit tests']))
c['builders'].append({
    'name': 'buildbot-services'
    , 'slavename': 'linuxbot'
    , 'buildir': 'services'
    , 'factory': f
})

And we get this error in the log:

Obviously that's not at all a SVN reversion number. No idea where it even came from. However, why is buildbot even trying to execute a svn update command? Doesn't specifying mode='full' in the SVN step mean that it should be blasting away any existing local copy and re-checking out the entire thing every time?
