When attempting to use Subversion with BBEdit I'm getting the following error:
svn: The path '/Users/tim/xxx/xxx/xxx [redacted]' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy. However, this ISNT just a simple "you have the wrong version" problem. Here's my setup: -- Clean install of OSX 10.8.2 -- Clean install of BBEdit 10.5.1 -- Clean install of Xcode 4.6 -- Clean install of latest Xcode command line tools (including the Apple authorized Subversion 1.6) in "/usr/bin/svn" -- Clean install of latest WANdisco Subversion 1.7 in "/opt/subversion/bin". -- PATH set to "/opt/subversion/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin" Now, of course, I have two versions of Subversion on my machine. However, the BBEdit manual states that you need to have Subversion installed in $PATH, and of course the version first in the path is the WANdicso version 1.7 install. So BBEdit *should* be using this version, but judging by the above error it seems to be using the 1.6 version in "/usr/bin/svn". This leads me to suspect (along with other posts here) that BBEdit is using a "baked in" path of "/usr/bin/svn" to locate the Subversion binaries. To try to verify this, I edited the files in "/usr/bin/svn" and made them symbolic links to the appropriate binaries in "/opt/subversion/bin", which of course effectively removes the 1.6 version of Subversion from my machine (well, mostly). And indeed from a shell this works, as entering "./svn --version" in /usr/bin/svn does indeed get me the version 1.7 binary. HOWEVER, even with this fix I *still* get the same error: BBEdit is still telling me it has a 1.7 working copy it cannot access. I'm really not sure at this point what is going on, unless BBEdit is actually working directly with the Subversion libraries instead of the command-line binaries (which I did not attempt to alias). Does anyone know what is going on here? Any suggestions on how to fix? Going back to 1.6 isn't really an option as I'm working with OS X packages which arent happy with the old 1.6 hidden folder model. tia, --Tim -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
