I know just enough about Ant and SvnAnt to be dangerous. I put together the build.xml and .properties files a while back, and now that I'm running into issues I'm out of my league I fear.
Simple scenario. I have an SvnAnt task that would update code from a remote repository. Worked great. Recently the IP address of that repository changed, so I opened up my build.properties file and changed the IP address accordingly:
svnant.project.url=http://my.new.ip.here/svn/project/trunk
Problem is, when I run ant and specify the update target SvnAnt is still trying to hit the old IP. I went so far as to throw this in my build.xml file, under the corresponding task:
<echo message="${line.separator}Updating working copy from ${svnant.project.url}" />
And sure enough, when I run the ant task I see the message:
update:
[echo]
[echo] Updating working copy from http://my.new.ip.here/svn/project/trunk
...
But this task always errors out after a minute or so with this error:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/project/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/project/trunk': could not connect to server (http://OLD.FREAKING.IP.HERE)
Note the OLD.FREAKING.IP.HERE part.
So my question is: why is Ant/SvnAnt still trying to connect to my old IP?
I've restarted Apache. Nothing of interest in /etc/hosts.
Thanks

One possibility is that your existing working copy has meta information (.svn folder), which refers to the old ip address. Since you are updating and not checking out, this is used.
