kdesvn can't open local repositories

[mbiebl]

If you try to open a local reposity via a file:/// URL you get the error message "... is not a working copy". Other access methods like http[s] work fine. Support for file:/// URL would be great.

Hm. I can not resolve it. I may open file:///<local-path>/to/working/copy/

The message box you had seen - is it possible that you tried open a path which isn't a working copy? eg, does not contain ".svn" subdirs?

[mbiebl]

It works for a working copy but not for a repository. To reproduce it: 1.) Create a repository on your local hard disk: svnadmin create /path/to/repos 2.) Optionally check in some data 3.) Try to open the repository via file:///path/to/repos to browse the contents of your repository. This should fail. RapisSVN can handle such file URLs.

AH!

Now I understand, you tried to open the repository itself, eg. you're missing the "svnadmin" inside kdesvn.

Didn't know that rapidsvn can handle it. I'll check it 'cause wondering due that rapidsvn doesn't have a c++-admin-interface (kdesvn in its basics is based on the c++ interface to subversion of rapidsvn)

Tnx for that hint.

Well, it's not the svnadmin functionality I'm missing. It's the normal svn list|del|add|diff... functionality, and the ability to browse through a repository inside kdesvn via the file:/// access method. Try to open a repository via http:/// and it works, for file:/// it fails.

[alwin]

Hmpf. tried it in rapidsvn - and it just segfaults :/ nice.

I'll don't forget, but may take a while sorry.

[alwin]

so, fixed.

on opening local folders it checks if it is a repository or a working copy and let you browse.

Will come with next major release next days.

Hi,

I'm getting this exact issue - same steps as above, error is " '<local-path>' has no URL ". I'm using kdesvn 0.14.1 (dated 2007) with KDE 3.5.9. any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Upgrade kdesvn to newer version (when kde < 4 use Kdesvn 1.0.6, its the latest for kde3).
