Common SVN related issues faced with WSO2 products and how they can be solved

Issue 1

TID: [0] [ESB] [2015-07-21 14:49:55,145] ERROR {org.wso2.carbon.deployment.synchronizer.subversion.SVNBasedArtifactRepository} -  Error while attempting to create the directory: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/svn/wso2/-1234 {org.wso2.carbon.deployment.synchronizer.subversion.SVNBasedArtifactRepository}
org.tigris.subversion.svnclientadapter.SVNClientException: org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: svn: authentication cancelled

Reason : The user is not authenticated to write to the provided SVN location i.e.:- http://xx.xx.xx.xx/svn/wso2/ . When you see this type of an error, verify the credentials you have given under the svn configuration in the carbon.xml

Issue 2

Reasons:

Even though you see this exception, the actual cause of the issue could be something else. So note that when you see this exception, you will have to go up the wso2carbon.log and see whether you see any related exceptions near the server startup logs.

(I) SVN version mismatch between local server and the SVN server (Carbon 4.2.0 products support SVN 1.6 only.

Solution - Use the SVN kit jar 1.6 in Carbon server

See https://docs.wso2.com/display/CLUSTER420/SVN-based+Deployment+Synchronizer)

(II) If you have configured your server with a different SVN version than what's in the SVN server and even if you use the correct svnkit jar at the Carbon server side later, the issue will not get resolved

Solution - Remove all the .svn files under $CARBON_HOME/repository/deployment/server folder

(III) A similar issue can be observed when the SVN server is not reachable.

Reason:

You will notice this issue when the svn kit (i.e. for latest versions of Carbon i.e. 4.4.x the jar version would be svnkit-all-1.8.7.wso2v1.jar) jar is not available in $CARBON_HOME/repository/components/dropins folder

Sometimes dropping the svn-kit-all-1.8.7.wso2v1.jar would not solve the problem. In such situations, verify whether the trilead-ssh2-1.0.0-build215.jar is also available under $CARBON_HOME/repository/components/lib folder.
