Question

Somehow, Tortoise against Subversion can’t seem to figure out that the source is not in the bin directory:

1) When we set up a commit, all of the source shows up as missing from the bin directory:

Path                     Extension  Text Status
bin/com/.../File1.java   .java      missing
bin/com/.../File2.java   .java      missing

2) An update will sometimes do the following:

Action    Path
Command   Update
Restored  C:\dev\...\bin\...\File1.java
Restored  C:\dev\...\bin\...\File2.java

A few notes about this:

-Nothing shows in bin/ in the Repo Browser.
-Yes, there is an svn:ignore for bin.
-In example 1 above, the .java files show up in bin/ with green checkmarks.
-In example 2 above, there are no .java files in bin/
-If you try to delete the bin files from bin/, it will delete them from src/ instead (this has happened to 2 developers trying to clear up this issue).

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope!

Answer 1

Check your bin folder and see what the .svn contents look like, or right-click on the bin folder and select Repo-browser and see what path it shows you.

It sounds as if you(or your build scripts) may have copied the src/.svn directory over to your bin directory.

If that is the case, then Tortoise will “see” your bin as your src and think that you are missing source files from the checkout of src.
