svn commandline options to check in all files and not open the gui - tortoisesvn

Tortoise svn commandline tool is there a switch or an argument to check All files and to suppress the gui. I am working on source control automation.
TortoiseProc.exe /command:commit /path:"C:\SVN" /url:"http://mysvnserver/trunk" /closeonend:2

As Ken White alluded to in his comment, TortoiseSVN is not designed to be automated in a completely "silent" fashion. If that's your requirement, you should use svn.exe (which is installed with TortoiseSVN as an optional component, or you can get it standalone).
If there's a module/library for the environment you're working in (like SVNKit for Java, SharpSVN for .NET, PySVN for Python and SVN::Client for Perl), try to use that.
If you're using the command-line client, you'll use svn commit c:\svn but I'd suggest including a commit message too. See svn help commit for full details (ci is an alias for commit).

How to Commit code into SVN from Linux server?

How we can connect to SVN repository from Linux server. I want to connect to svn repository from linux server for committing code. Any help will be appreciated.
First I assume that the SVN repository is already created since you just want to get code and commit to it.
But basically as the comments describe there is not much to it.
You will need SVN (the command) and a Username and Password.
Again, I assume you have all of these things ready.
First thing you need to do is to check-out the repository so that you have the code on your local server. Once you have to code, then you can start to edit/add and change it and then commit it back.
svn co https://www.remotesvnserver.com/svn/project projectname
"co" stands for "Check Out" witch is the equivalent of "Clone" when we are talking GIT.
Now that you have checked out your SVN project, you can begin to edit and change it as you like (granted you have the permissions)
edit some.file (make changes to a file)
svn commit -m "My change info"
I won't begin to talk about if you add files, delete files or rename files.
You will need to look into SVN documentation for that, but again I assume that you already know these things as you just wanted to connect to a SVN repository.
I would recommend looking into some of the documentation Apache has on SVN.
(Apache Foundation is the project maintainer of SVN)
https://subversion.apache.org
https://subversion.apache.org/quick-start
Full SVN manual

You can find details of various SVN commands here.

Is it possible to svn checkout in a database

I a writing a little webapp, which allows the users to browse through a Visual SVN server. I would like to add an online editor like github in this webapp, so users can edit the files online, leave a message and the changes appear in the repository.
For that I need to checkout the files locally. My idea was to check them in a mongodb out, so I can save the changes per user like a local working copy.
Is there a way (without reimplementing the svn protocol) to make a checkout in a database or even just the memory and then write it in the database.
If there are any questions, just ask :)
Btw. if someone is interested, here is the code https://bitbucket.org/Knerd/svn-browser
There is no way to do svn checkout to directly to database. But there is some options.
First of all, you can simple create virtual disk that resides in memory and perform checkouts to that disk. Than you can store checked out files to database.
Another option is to use rich Subversion API directly. Note, that Subversion is written in C, so you will need to build bridge between Node.js and SVN (as far as I can remember, there is no official Subversion bindings for Node.js, but there is for Python and Java and there is unofficial nodesvn package available for Node.js). Using the API you can implement your own 'in-database' working copy.
Also you can use svnmucc utility (which is shipped with VisualSVN Server) to make commits directly in the repository (without even making a working copy). If you combine it with svn ls, svn info etc. you can implement repository browsing and editing of files.

Why I use buildbot tool with p4, the "console view" cannot work?

This question made me crazy!Please help me.
I use the buildbot, VC tool is perforce 2010.
Waterfall: ok
but console view cannot work right.
just print "No revisions available"
If you are using the Periodic scheduler, then buildbot isn't made aware of the revisions in your repository, it just checks every time, and builds the most recent version. Since it doesn't know anything about revisions, it can't display anything sensible for the console view.
To get the console view, you need to tell buildbot about your revisions, either using buildbot.changes.p4poller.P4Source, buildbot send-change or contrib/post-build-request.py. And then trigger your builds using a regular scheduler, rather than a periodic one.
It's probably something environmental in the configuration, such as the Perforce username or the Perforce client spec. The tool is probably issuing a 'changes' or 'sync' command, and since it's not using the workspace definition that you expect, it isn't finding any code in that workspace.

how to monitor a remote read-only subversion repo for commit changes?

I have a couple of dependencies in my Java project on 3rd party libs, and some of them are undergoing development that I would like to track.
I would like to be able to be notified, (By email, desktop popup, or otherwise) when changes are committed to the remote svn repo so I can examine their impact etc.
I looked at svnmailer, but it would seem to require the repo to be local (I think??)
also I found some windows tools that do the job, but I am running linux desktop. so no go there.
worst case, I can do some cron script to poll for remote changes using the command line tools, but I would prefer some existing tool.
Sounds like a good use for a continuous integration server. Something like CruiseControl or Hudson are designed for this use case - the whole point of them is to to check your source control regularly, retrieve any changes, build the project and notify someone. In this case, it sounds like you don't even need to build the project, just send an email anyway.
If you don't already have a CI server this might seem like a little overkill but I bet once you've got one set up you'll find yourself using it again.

Commit into TortoiseSVN

C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin
/command:commit /path:******\trunk\dotnet /notempfile /closeonend
1000
the code above pops up a window asking for "entering a message, selecting the changed content and then clicking OK and again clicking OK again after the process completes"
I would be extremely thankful if anyone can suggest how to avoid the above said process if commit is done using cruise control (config file).
thanks.

It's not CruiseControl that does the commit - it's just calling TortoiseSVN to trigger a GUI wrapper over a Subversion action. So to execute the commit as a silent activity (i.e. with no GUI) you simply need to replace the invocation of TortoiseSVN with a call to 'svn commit' and provide the appropriate parameters.
Svn help here.
If you are automating SVN actions, you should be using a command-line client, not TortoiseSVN. Hit that link to download a client, and see the SVN documentation as well.
From the documentation on tortoiseproc.exe here.
"You can also specify the /logmsg
switch to pass a predefined log
message to the commit dialog."
you may also want to append your /closeonend to be /closeonend:1 to prevent the extra confirmation click step. The switch values are also described on the documentation page.
I do not use crusecontrol but I do this sucesfully from a command file that I use to commit and publish my asp.net site.
