Question

Here’s my batch script:

    @echo off

cls
set SOURCE=svn://vcrep/UXP/ercpac/trunk/
set SVN=C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin

"%SVN%\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:update /path:"%SOURCE%" /closeonend:2
echo. ++ Done.

echo. -- Cleaning up...
set SOURCE=
set SVN=
echo. ++ Done.

Unfortunately, this breaks for some odd reason. I have no problems pulling from this repository using the normal TortoiseSVN context menu. Specifically the error in the update dialog says:

‘svn://vcrep/UXP/ercpac/trunk/’ is not a local path

Perhaps there was something I’m not able to find in the TortoiseSVN docs that explains this?

Answer 1

As shown in the documentation about Automating Tortoise SVN, the /path parameter indicates the local path to your working copy, not the URL of the repository.
