Unable to get info for the repository root
Problem
When trying to integrate SVN with Fisheye/Crucible the following error is shown:
Unable to get info for the repository root
403 Forbidden
Unable to get Repository Root URLAlternatively the following can be found in the fisheye-atlassian-YYYY-MM-DD.log file:
WARN [InitPing3 <repository_name> ] fisheye SvnRepositoryTester-getServerRootURL - Unable to get Repository Root URL for <repository_name>:file:///repository_root/folder/

Cause
Cause #1 - unexpected trailing slash
A trailing slash has been added incorrectly to the SVN URL during the configuration of the repository. For example: https://svn.your.server/svn/project/
Cause #2 - missing execute permissions on jsvn command
Unless the native client is used, Fisheye uses the jsvn command to perform SVN command which can be found in the <FishEye installation directory>/lib/svn folder.
If the user running Fisheye does not have execute permissions on the jsvn command, Fisheye will not be able to connect to the repository.
Resolution
Resolution #1 - unexpected trailing slash
Remove the trailing slash from the SVN URL and save. For example (considering the example above):
https://svn.your.server/svn/project
Resolution #2 - missing execute permissions on jsvn command
Add the execute permissions on the jsvn command.
