> Key: SCM-585

> Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-scm-api
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller
> Priority: Major
>
> I want to update a subversion with maven-scm.
> Therefore I get the ScmManager via Plexus and then do this:
> {code}
> ScmManager.makeProviderScmRepository("svn", new File(path/to/checkout));
> {code}
> What I get is:
> {noformat}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: repository cannot be null
> at
> org.apache.maven.scm.command.AbstractCommand.execute(AbstractCommand.java:49)

> org.apache.maven.scm.provider.svn.AbstractSvnScmProvider.executeCommand(AbstractSvnScmProvider.java:356)

> {noformat}
> From what I understand the code tries to execute "svn info" to get the
> repository URL.
> However executing a command always checks that the repository is not {{null}}.
> In this case the svn command should be executed in order to be able to create
> the repository.
> It is not possible to create the repository before, because the URL is not
> known.
> My suggestion is to revisit this block in AbstractCommand:
> {code}
> if ( repository == null )
> {
> throw new NullPointerException( "repository cannot be null" );
> }
> {code}
