Cruise control net and Unable to execute file svnexe

2008, Apr 04 One min read

The sourceControl task of cc.net should specify the path of the executable of svn.exe as in the following example.

<sourcecontrol type="svn">
   <workingDirectory>C:\CruiseControl.NET\Projects\xxx\src</workingDirectory>
   <trunkUrl>svn://10.8.0.1/xxx</trunkUrl>
   <username>CCnet</username>
   <password>xxxx</password>
   <autoGetSource>true</autoGetSource>
   <executable>c:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe</executable>
</sourcecontrol>

If you omit the <executable> part of the source control it happens that if you do not have subversion in your path, cc.net cannot find svn.exe. The error is something like “Unable to execute file C:\CruiseControl.NET\Projects\xxx\svn.exe” and it could be misleading since cc.net try to execute svn in the directory of the project.
