SvnCommit (MSBuild context) misses one file from the ItemGroup

Question

I'm using MSBuild with the community tasks under TeamCity.

Just like Garrett in this thread, I update my AssemblyInfo.cs files, and then commit them.

In the solution at hand, I've got five AssemblyInfo.cs files, but only four get committed using this MSBuild code:

<Target Name="VersionCommit" DependsOnTargets="Version">
    <ItemGroup>
      <AssemblyInfoFiles Include="**/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs;" />
    </ItemGroup>

    <SvnCommit Message="Updated verions in AssemblyInfo files." 
               Username="cc" 
               Targets="@(AssemblyInfoFiles)">
    </SvnCommit>
</Target>

I've verified that the RegEx pattern above works, i.e. finds all five files.

Any ideas why one of the files doesn't get committed?

Answer 1

Did you svn add the file first?

As an aside, people often get fooled by TortoiseSVN which gives you those handy little checkboxes -- they think that when they check a box on the Commit screen that they're somehow passing files to svn commit -- what they're really doing is telling Tortoise to svn add and then svn commit.

Answer 2

This is embarrassing...

The RegEx pattern worked alright, but a bug in another RegEx used for actually updating the files didn't make the missing file dirty as it was supposed to.
