Trouble with Options

 I have Cruise Control .NET running a Final Builder project and a SVN Info task is failing. The server is Server 2008 x64 and Cruise Control is running under a specific local user. Subversion is installed. I logged into that user and setup the path to the Subversion Binaries location, but when the project is run by Cruise Control, SVN fails with this message.

 

[Subversion Info]

  Error executing \svn.exe - file does not exist!

  Please make sure you have Subversion installed, and that the Subversion binaries path is configured correctly under Tools | Options | Version Control Systems

 

Why is it not seeing the option that I set? How does it load those settings?

 

Final Builder 5.5.0.707

Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 x64

CruiseControl.NET 1.4.4.75

 

Hi Tyler

The Subversion option values are stored in the machine settings (i.e. they apply to all users). You can find the file where these settings are stored under ‘C:\ProgramData\VSoft\FinalBuilder5\FinalBuilder5.ini’.

There should be a ‘Subversion’ section within in the file and the ‘SubversionPath’ key should point to the bin directory of your Subversion installation. Can you please check this and make sure that, the Subversion section exists and the subversion path key has the correct value.

It may be that when setting the options values the user that you were logged in as did not have the required privileges to modify this file.

Please let me know what you find.

Steve

Ah, of course I didn’t have permission. I ran Final Builder as admin and set the option and now it runs great. Thanks! Server 08 is way more touchy with permissions that 03.

No problems, glad you were able to get it working.
