Description
I'm having trouble with using svn to check in/out my drupals with dbscript dumps in them.
I have two machines, pinky is the dev machine, perky is the production machine. Drupal was installed and setup on pinky and duplicated on perky via svn.
I have dumped a database on pinky and added the files to svn. I've checked them out on perky and run a production dump, last merge dump but all the commands now try to delete all my .svn files and I can't get the databases to merge.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't see what it is?
How should I have my environment set up to do this?
#1
Evening.
I also have this issue. When I performe the dumps the
exec("rm -r $dump_location/data/*.sql");on line 404 in dbscripts.module tries to delete the .svn files in the data and tables directories. I did a small modifocation and specified that only .sql files should be deleted. Is this a good practice? My modification are:On line 404 in dbscripts.module i changed
exec("rm -r $dump_location/*");exec("cp -R $workspace_location/* $dump_location");
to
exec("rm -r $dump_location/data/*.sql");exec("rm -r $dump_location/tables/*.sql");
exec("cp -R $workspace_location/data/* $dump_location/data");
exec("cp -R $workspace_location/tables/* $dump_location/tables");
And now it kind of works.
#2
I have this trouble too.. is the solution at #1 still working for you?
EDIT: Well, I made the change sugested above, and it works for dumping... But I run in to the same trouble when doing a restore.
#3
Sorry about this bug. This should be fixed in the git repository -- I haven't had time to commit to cvs in awhile.
I'll leave this open until I commit to cvs.
#4
This is not fixed correctly in git. When trying to svn commit after doing a dump on production, I get the following error:
it seems that it just completely removes this last-dump direcrory - including all the .svn subdirs, making it impossible to commit again.
#5
You should svn ignore everything that is inside both the tmp and workspace directories.
#6
@ceardach: ok, good to hear, as that's exactly what I ended up doing! Perhaps add that to the docs?
#7
Yeah, I should add SVN and Git tips to the README
#8
#9
#10
Anyone know a quick way to exclude tmp and workspace directories from svn?
#11
Assuming a linux command lune, then in the databses folder execute:
$ svn propedit svn:ignore .(don't forget the trailing full stop)
And add:
workspacetmp
On two separate lines, That should do it
