In our project,for each mothly release,we create a branch from the trunk and perform the release.As a result,before the release ,we need to modify the SVN path for each module to refer to new branch,in each job configuration page.

To avoid modifying each job for every release ,we defined a global variable to contian the url for the branch.This gloabal variable is not accessible form the from the job configuration page.

As the gloabal variable contains the path to the branch and hence the pom.xml file of the module,we cannot even use the build script to access the global variable. Therefore we need to access the varibale from the job configuration page itself.

What version of the subversion plugin are you using? In 2.3.8 I introduced a new feature (see changelog http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Subversion+Plugin) where you can use global variables in the SVNURL. If your global variable is defined as REPOSITORY, to use a global variable your URL needs to look like: "${REPOSITORY}/projectA/trunk" without the quotes.

Thanks,
Steve.

Currently we are uing the version 2.3.8-h-1 for the subversion plugin.

I tried to access global variable using ${REPOSITORY},$REPOSITORY from the job configuration page but it is not recognize the global variable and hence throws exception stating URL..... does not exits

Below is the stack trace
org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E170000: URL '${GLOBAL_URL}/platform_components/shared_components/btable' doesn't exist

Here GLOBAL_URL is the global variable defined in the hudson system configuration page.

Please let me know if this is the correct way to access global variable or if I am missing some thing in this.

Thanks
Anamay

We are using the Hudson subversion plugin "2.3.8". but still we are getting the same below issue-

org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E170000: URL '${GLOBAL_URL}/platform_components/shared_components/btable' doesn't exist
at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.SVNErrorManager.error(SVNErrorManager.java:64)
at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.SVNErrorManager.error(SVNErrorManager.java:51)
at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc16.SVNUpdateClient16.doCheckout(SVNUpdateClient16.java:934

We checked in the build.xml, the url is getting expanded correctly but during the checkout of the project its failing.

We have many other plugins also on hudson like polarian, Hudson Release Manager, Subversion Tagging Plugin also installed, do this cause any issue or what other configuration might cause the issue."RequestDumperValve" in tomcat is enabled in tomcat. Does this cause the above issue. Please let me know.
