That is non-trivial.
Read the "svn" documentation. You might be able to pass in the
required information by other means, maybe an option, maybe
an envvar, maybe via a configuration file.
Otherwise, you must monitor what it written to the subprocess'
"stdout" and "stderr", recognized the interaction request
perform the interaction with the user and send the result
to the subprocess' stdin.
Thanks, I think this solution will work.
import subprocess
import getpass
user = "XXX578"
root="https://trac.nci.org.au/svn/cable";
repo_name = "CMIP6-MOSRS"
pswd = "'" + getpass.getpass('Password:') + "'"
cmd = "svn checkout %s/branches/Users/%s/%s --password %s" %\
(root, user, repo_name, pswd)
I'm not questioning whether or not that will work, but I will
point out that the password will be exposed to anyone doing a
process listing when that process is running (e.g., "ps -ef"
on a posix-like system). This may or may not be an issue for
your use case.
error = subprocess.call(cmd, shell=True)
if error is 1:
raise("Error checking out repo")
