I have added a post-commit hook to my Visual SVN Server that updates my web root folder. I have the following in the commit-hook:

"%VISUALSVN_SERVER%bin\svn.exe" update "D:\wamp\www\xix" --username xone --password xxx

Running this from within the command-line works, but when I commit changes in my project from the client program, I get always the error:

Error: post-commit hook failed (exit code 1) with output: svn: E720005: Error resolving case of 'D:\wamp\www\xix'

Why is this? Thanks for your help!

  • Is D: a mapped network drive? Network drives are mapped on per-user basis and are not accessible by service accounts. VisualSVN Server runs under NETWORK SERVICE account, by default. Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 11:21
  • Also, check that you are running the client program with Administrator-level privileges. Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 14:33
  • @SameerSingh you are wrong, it does not matter in this case at all. Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 14:52
  • Hmmm I've had funnies with this when the client wasn't running as Admin, but I think you're right. Sorry! Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 14:59

Several things:

  • The post-commit hook has no access to your client's workspace.
  • When you run the command from the command line, you're a different user than the user the server running the command. The error number E720005 usually points to a user who doesn't have permission to update a file inside their working directory. That user may have permission to read from the repository, but not necessarily to write to the working directory.
  • Many environment variables are purposefully munged when the hook is executed. It could be that your environment variables like %VISUALSVN_SERVER% are not what you think they are.
