Comments on: A Better Expect Subversion Post-Commit Hook http://maymay.net/blog/2007/06/21/a-better-expect-subversion-post-commit-hook/ The brutally honest, first-person account of Meitar Moscovitz's life.

Are you certain you've entered the correct password for the SSH user (not the SVN user) into the script at the top portion, before the "DO NOT EDIT PAST THIS LINE" line? Also, this script expects no authentication to be necessary to do a simple `svn update`—that is to say that read-only privileges to your repository should not require a login. If they do, that's another story, but again, it looks as though it's SSH, not SVN that's having trouble authenticating in your case.

Can you provide me a patch where I can auto fill the SVN password when prompted. With this script I am getting the following error: ------------------------------------ spawn /usr/bin/ssh user@serverIP /usr/bin/svn update /home/user/test-svn/ user@serverIP's password: Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password). svn: Connection closed unexpectedly An unexpected error has occured. The process at spawn ID exp6 has produced the following output: Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password). svn: Connection closed unexpectedly ----------------------- Here "Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password). svn: Connection closed unexpectedly" error is because my SVN user has a password. Hope I am able to make my self clear. My SVN server also asks for password. Can you provide me a patch where I can auto fill the SVN password when prompted.

With this script I am getting the following error:
————————————
spawn /usr/bin/ssh user@serverIP /usr/bin/svn update /home/user/test-svn/
user@serverIP’s password:
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).

An unexpected error has occured. The process at spawn ID exp6 has produced the following output:

Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).

Here “Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password). svn: Connection closed unexpectedly” error is because my SVN user has a password.

Hope I am able to make my self clear.
