I’m running SVN on Windows and had a post-commit hook that was running the day I set it up. Now it’s not running anymore. I’m running SVN through Apache Httpd. As part of my troubleshooting, I did the following:
- Successfully checked in a file and viewed it from the TortoiseSVN’s repo browser
- Verified that the post-commit.bat file was in the hooks directory of my repository
-
Cut down the post-commit.bat file to be this one line:
echo hello > hello.txt -
Checked-in a file and looked for the hello.txt file in the Apache installation folder (E:\Applications\Apache2.2) and its subdirectories, but found nothing
- Verified the Apache service was up and running (which it must have been to have successfully checked in)
- Eyeballed my services using
services.mscto see if there might be some monitoring service I need running that was stopped accidentally; I didn’t recognize any - I created a pre-commit hook and verified that it is running as expected (so this is only a problem with the post-commit hook — not all hooks in general)
What are the next steps I should take to troubleshoot why my post-commit hook is not executing?
Solved… Sort of.
I restarted the Apache service and everything magically started working. What should I hate from this experience? Subversion, Apache, or Windows?
