This error typically suggests a problem with permissions or authentication when Bamboo tries to access the SVN repository, possibly stemming from configuration changes or permission settings.
Solution
The solution involves two items:
- Make sure you have the correct authentication and permissions for the Subversion repository.
If you are using Windows, follow these steps to ensure that Bamboo has all the necessary permissions to access SVN:
Go to the Start Menu and look for the Bamboo folder within the list of all programs.
Within the Bamboo folder, find the option labeled "Start in console".
Right-click on "Start in console" and select "Run as administrator".
By doing this, Bamboo will have the required permissions to access SVN.
