Question

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?

Was it helpful?

Solution

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.
