This page describes how to configure Crucible access to Subversion repositories.
Crucible SCM plugins superseded by Native Repository Access
Crucible now ships with native repository access, which allows you to connect to repositories without a working version of FishEye. Crucible SCM plugins will still work, but we recommend that you stop using them in favour of native repository access. See What happens if I decide to stop using FishEye with Crucible for instructions.
To set up native access to a Subversion repository:
This section describes how to configure the Crucible Subversion SCM plugin to access Subversion repositories.
To set up Subversion in Crucible alone:Click Add a repository and complete the form:
Name | Choose a unique name for the repository. |
Repository Root | Enter the repository root URL for the repository. See Finding your repository root below for instructions on how to find this. |
Repository Path | Add the path on the base URL where your repository. For example, if you used the root URL above, and the full path to your Subversion instance is 'http://svn.example.com/svn5/', you would enter 'svn5' into this field. |
SVN Username | Enter the username of the Subversion account that Crucible will use. |
SVN Password | Enter the password of the Subversion account that Crucible will use. |
Your Subversion repository is now set up for Crucible. You will be able to select changesets from it when creating reviews.
Note that there is no 'initial scanning' required in this process, as Crucible's access to Subversion (when running alone) is strictly on-demand. Data is not cached, hence scanning is not required.
Run the following command:
svn info SVN_URL
where SVN_URL is the complete URL of the repository you want to add.
You will get something like the following:
>svn info http://svn.example.com/svn5/ Path: svn5 URL: http://svn.example.com/svn5/ Repository Root: http://svn.example.com/ Repository UUID: ce062a09-193b-427a-a7b3-a85007076e5d Revision: 83 Node Kind: directory Last Changed Author: ryan Last Changed Rev: 83 Last Changed Date: 2009-05-07 10:48:41 +1000 (Thu, 07 May 2009)
Next to "Repository Root" is the URL you should define as your repository root. The path will be whatever is remaining.
