SVN working folders

Post by pengels »

Hi all,

I have a local XAMPP installation and inside a 1:1 copy of our website. In the modules folder resides my own module, which I have created as SVN working folder. I can make changes here, test them locally and commit them to the forge without problems. The release as zip can be done with a 7zip-script, which ignores the .svn subfolder. But I cannot export the folder as XML-file any longer! The reason is, that (some) files inside this .svn-folder are write-protected by TortoiseSVN. If I reset this (or ignore this in the template) the XML export is working perfectly.

Can anybody give me a hint how to manage the SVN working-folder correctly without having a lot of file-copies on my local drive? Or is this a bug in CMSMS ModuleManager?

Thanks!

Regards Peter

It is a issue with the logic to display the XML button.

My work around was to move the .svn folder to the parent directory (mv .svn ../ on linux) and then after I download the XML file, move it back (mv ../.svn ./).
