I am following this tutorial that is like the hello world for post-commit
I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I installed svnnotify and ran $ which svnnotify which output:
/usr/bin/svnnotify
so I changed the path in the turorial from /usr/local/bin/svnnotify to /usr/bin/svnnotify
I also tried changing the line: #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash since bash is the login shell in ubuntu 10.04.
I tried to run it the way the tutorial originally had it, with my changes, and combinations of the two.
Every time the commit is successful but I get
Warning: post-commit hook failed (exit code 1) with no output.
The original way had output not found
I am very new to linux and shell scripting and have exhausted everything I can think of. What am I doing wrong?
Get the script working and tested before trying to run as a commit hook. I expect that your problem is something to do with the script, maybe not being marked as executable, environment wrong, etc.. i.e. if you can't get it to run successfully from the command line, this is more of a unix/shell question and doesn't really have anything to do with SVN (yet).
