Unable to to connect to repository SVN

I wrote a pre-commit hook that checks if trunk version.txt file is updated compared with version.txt in tag. When I run the script in console everything is fine, but when I try to commit I've got this

Authentication realm: http://localhost:80 Subversion Repository Password for 'www-data': svn: E070014: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://localhost/svn/myrepo2/tags'

And also this if --force-interactive is off

svn: E215004: Authentication failed and interactive prompting is disabled; see the --force-interactive option

I checked everything step-by-step and it seems like thats the line that causes the problem:

tag=$(svn list /some/path/tags --force-interactive | sort -n | tail -n 1 )

Is there any alternative to svn ls to check the latest tag or the files within folder tags? 

#!/bin/bash  

#get latest tag
tag=$(svn ls  /some/path/tags --force-interactive | sort -n |  tail -n 1)

#get content of file from the latest tag
fileFromTag=$(svn cat /some/path/tags/$tag/version.txt)

#get content of file from trunk
file=$(svn cat some/path/trunk/version.txt)

#compare current file with file from latest tag
if [ "$fileFromTag" == "$file" ]
then
    echo "Update version.txt" 
    exit 1
fi

And here's the repository structure

 tags/
  1.1.0/
   version.txt
  1.1.3/
   version.txt
  1.1.5/
   version.txt
  1.1.6/
   version.txt
  1.2.0/
   version.txt
  rel_1.0/
   version.txt
 trunk/
   version.txt
Solution

  • The error means that the svn client does not authenticate to the server and there are no cached credentials. But the main problem is the commands that you run in your hook script:
