SVN update not working

3.7k views Asked by At

From what i know - SVN Team > Update (^ALT U) updates the local version of the code with the changes in the repository - so that the non-conflicting changes in the repository are merged into my local code here and the conflicting ones are merged-still-and-marked to show the conflicts between my code and the one in the code base. however, i'm not getting my local code updated when i do the update.

I also tried Team > Update to Revision (^ALT D) with the "right kind of options".

How can i work this?

Is this an issue with SVN settings/preferences?

I'm running it on Eclipse/Luna. New project/installations, straightforward installation and default SVN settings on Eclipse.

TIA.

Note: I've seen svn update not updating and svn update is not working among some other discussions.

//=========================================

EDIT:

Running

Team->Show History

in Java view shows the revisions list. I see the same list when i do Show History in SVN Repository Exploring view. This list seems all OK-- the kind i've seen on my other uses of SVN.

Running

svn info 

in command prompt gave:

svn info
'svn' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I ran this command on a local shell in Remote Systems view as described in the accepted answer of Is there an Eclipse plugin to run system shell in the Console?.

Hmm, some other suggetsions (if you haven't tried yet): right click on the top level folder of the project and try Team->Refresh/Clean Up and then try right-click->Refresh on the same. Right click on the top level folder and see what you get for Compare With->Latest From Repository. Select a specific file you think is not up to date with the latest from repository, right click and select Compare With->Latest From Repository. As a last resort you can copy the project to a backup location and do a fresh check out from head.

You can get a svn client from here (I use the one available from collabnet, you will need the version that matches the version the server is running):

If you don't have this resource already, its a good one to have if you have more svn in your future:
