I still am not seeing a file, c:\logfile.txt, created. Its like this
script isn't even being run.
I have it named post-commit.bat and, now, post-commit2.bat both located
in the repositories hooks directory.
Do I just need to place the files there and they will automatically get
called? do I need to tell SVN to find them somehow?

To find out what's going wrong:
1. rename post-commit.bat post-commit2.bat
2. create new post-commit.bat with one line like this:
call %~dp0post-commit2.bat %* c:\logfile.txt 2>&1

If files with the right names exist they will run automatically.

My only other thought is your server process (svnserve.exe or
apache.exe) doesn't have enough rights access and/or create files, etc.

Try making the service run as a different user with more permissions.

Hello Daniel,

I found the same trouble in a perl script. Windows has some strange or
stupid (I don't know exactly hall to call it) variables that svn removes
from the path when the script executes. After I map the following variables,
my perl script (SVN Notify) run correctly under windows. The variables was:
- PATH (obvious)
- S=Windows_NT (perl goes crazy if this variable is not here).
- SystemRoot=C:\WINDWS (I don't know why, but Net::SMTP don't send the mail
if this var isn't there).

Hope this helps.

in you batch file make sure you are in the correct drive, like this
would be the very first line of code:

c:

(at least that works for us, but we stay on the same drive during the
whole post-commit)

i assume this must otherwise have something to do with security, has the
apache user write access to the specific directory ?

<T>

dear all who responded on this original thread.

(assuming SVN version 1.3.1)
since you seem to have post-commits running on windows may I ask if you
could confirm that it is indeed possible to commit to the repository
without a wait for the post-commit to finish ?

for example, if you put a

sleep 120

in your script, how long will a client's commit actual take.

we have been running these for a long time, but after upgrading to
series 1.3.* they simply doesn't work correctly anymore

All my pre/post-* scripts finish in < 1 second so I couldn't say.

I *think* you'd need to launch your process with the 'start' command,
but I recall another post a few weeks ago talking about a problem with
even this (including some talk ofredirecting STDUT and STDERR ). Have a
look in the archives.

thanks. i have looked (and asked before and elsewhere) and have tried
dozens of combinations of start with various flags - no-one works (for
me). surely one person must have seen this work on windows.

could you try just for test purposes to see if you could put a sleep (or
whatever to make your script take a couple of minutes to finish) and see
if your client hangs?
