  • 0

I’m working on mac OS x 10.4. I have a subversion repository stored on an external drive connected via USB. I created a new python project in Eclipse (using the PyDev plugin). When I use right click Team->Share Project to set up a new project with subversion, I get the following error:

Error while creating module: org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Couldn't open a repository svn:  Unable to open ra_local session to URL svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///Volumes/svn-repos/Palindrome/Palindrome'

The subversion repository has the following permissions:

drwxrwxrwx     9 cameronl  cameronl   306 Aug 23 10:08 svn-repos

The external drive is formatted as Mac OS extended

I’m completely stumped. Anybody have any suggestions?

  1. Try adding the repository first using the ‘SVN Repository Exploring’ perspective (Window > Open Perspective > Other… > SVN Repository Exploring).

    Make sure that the URL you are using points to the correct directory, which typically contains these default repository files:

    conf/  dav/  db/  format  hooks/  locks/  README.txt

    Hope this helps.
