Ant script <SNV> <list> not working.

[Rahul Jampani]

Hi

I am trying to list all the files that will checkout from SVN. This is following code that I am using:

<target name="getLatestCode" depends="init">
		<svn  refid="svn.settings">
			<checkout url="${repository}" revision="HEAD" destPath="${basedir}" />
			<list listFiles="true" onlyNames ="true" />
		</svn>
</target>

can't figure out what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks

What do you mean by "not working." Do you get an error message when it runs?

I am not getting any error, but cant see the list of files checkout either.

Perhaps the <svn> task is getting confused with having both the <checkout> and <list> subtags defined. You shoudl try passing only the <list> subtag with the necessary information (such as the "url" property and "recurse"). Example:

<target name="getLatestCode" depends="init">  
        <svn  refid="svn.settings">  
            <list listFiles="true" onlyNames ="true" url="${repository}" revision="HEAD" recurse="true"/>  
        </svn>  
</target>

Thanks for the reply

There is no checkout task in the code that you gave me. Assuming that you meant checkout and not list, this does not worked either.

Thanks again

You wanted a list of possible files that would be checked out, right? Then you want to use the list command, not the checkout command. For example, this command:

svn list -R <url-to-project>

will print out a list of the files that would be checked out if you did a "svn checkout <url-to-project>" instead. You just need to convert that command to the property <list> entry in the <svn> task.

Also, there is no need to quote my reply, that just tends to make posts harder to read. I removed the quote for you.
