svnAnt task ubuntu fails with cannot find javahl, svnkit nor command line svn client

Question

These questions have the same issue but haven't provided a solution for me

Cannot find javahl, svnkit nor command line svn client although I have command line svn

Cannot find javahl, svnkit nor command line svn client

I am using

ubuntu 12.10

ant 1.8.2

svnAnt 1.3.1

svn version 1.6

I downloaded using apt-get install

svnclient

libsvn-java

I have set

JAVA_HOME

ANT_HOME

I added ANT_HOME/bin to the path I also added /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/ to the path, this doesn’t seem to be where these libs used/normally are.

if I run ant from command line it fails with:

$ ant compile 
Buildfile: /home/build.xml

init:

export:
  [svn] Missing 'javahl' dependencies on the classpath !

BUILD FAILED
/home/build.xml:28: Cannot find javahl, svnkit nor command line svn client

Total time: 0 seconds

if I add javahl="false" svnkit="true" attributes to the svn tag it fails with

$ ant compile
Buildfile: /home/build.xml

init:

export:
  [svn] Deprecated attribute 'javahl'. This attribute will disappear with SVNANT 1.3.2. Use svnSetting instead.
  [svn] Deprecated attribute 'svnkit'. This attribute will disappear with SVNANT 1.3.2. Use svnSetting instead.
  [svn] svn: authentication cancelled
  [svn] svn: authentication cancelled
  [svn] <Export> failed.

BUILD FAILED
/home/build.xml:28:     Can't export

Total time: 0 seconds

If I add username and password to the task it fails with (I am using svn+ssh and public private key authentication normally):

$ ant compile
Buildfile: /home/build.xml
username:>
password:>

init:

export:
  [svn] Deprecated attribute 'javahl'. This attribute will disappear with SVNANT 1.3.2. Use svnSetting instead.
  [svn] Deprecated attribute 'svnkit'. This attribute will disappear with SVNANT 1.3.2. Use svnSetting instead.
  [svn] Deprecated attribute 'username'. This attribute will disappear with SVNANT 1.3.2. Use svnSetting instead.
  [svn] Deprecated attribute 'password'. This attribute will disappear with SVNANT 1.3.2. Use svnSetting instead.

You did install the command line client (svnclient), but you did not tell Ant to use it:

javahl="false" svnkit="false"

Both need to be set to false to use the command line client. From the reference:

javahl  Set to "false" to use command line client interface instead of JNI JavaHL binding.
        Deprecated. This attribute won't work with SVNANT 1.3.2+ . Use refid for svnSetting instead.
        Default: true

svnkit  Set to "false" to use command line client interface instead of SVNKit binding.
        Deprecated. This attribute won't work with SVNANT 1.3.2+ . Use refid for svnSetting instead.
        Default: false
