Why the hell would I suddenly be getting this svn error when I try to import files into my repo? What does it even have to do with notepad++?
Thanks :)
C:\xampp\htdocs\projects\lab>svn import c:/wordpress http://tasty.unfuddle.com/svn/tasty_lab/wordpress 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. svn: system('C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe svn-commit.tmp') returned 1
Use short path for your %EDITOR% environment variable. That should fix the problem.
set EDITOR=C:\Progra~1\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Or to make the change permanent:
svn is trying to open your default editor to let you enter a commit message, and fails. I have no idea how to alter the default editor in Windows (in linux it would be something like export EDITOR=/path/to/editor.
Until someone explains how to alter your default editor, you can circumvent this temporarily by either entering the comment directly with -m'Comment', or providing --editor-cmd
I don't have the complete answer, but the reason it's returning a Notepad++ error is because that's your default text editor. SVN is trying to open that up so you can write a log message, but failing, presumably because it's choking on the space in "Program Files". Try fixing the global environment variable for your default text editor. I forget what it's called, but it shouldn't be hard to find.
If you need a quick hack to allow you to import so you aren't blocked right now, then run svn import -m "Logging Message Goes Here" C:/files/I/want/to/import
