The problem does not occur when executing an update trough the command line svn or the windows tortoise svn client. The server accesses the Internet trough a proxy, which is configured in tortoise svn's network settings. Is there a way to tell cruisecontrol to use that same proxy?

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I don't see any possibility for providing 'proxy' argument to svn command. Neither in the SVN bootstrapper source nor in the config ref.

But...

You could always:

• file it as a request to CruiseControl,
• and/or... try to fool the CruiseControl by preparing another version of cvs executable. Maybe a batch file called cvs.bat that would simply call cvs executable with additional parameters specifying the proxy. I haven't tried that.

Answer 2

If you are running cruise on a windows XP machine, you can try editing the proxy settings in the file C:\Documents and Settings\user.name\Application Data\Subversion\server.

I am not sure about the equivalent files in the other operating systesm though, but in general look for application data and the subversion directory within. This folder gets created the first time you ran subversion client so it should be there in your cruise machine already.
