taken from issue #79886 ... after adding an svn:external repository to my project. The main svn url does not require authentication, but one of the external repositories does. This creates an authentication failed notification window with the primary repository url and no ability to enter the username and/or the password. The command line version of svn already has the saved auth credentials with the external repository url. The password is stored in plain text in the my home directory $HOME/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/80bb27097a93504d09abed3246fec30c. I'm not sure how to specify the external svn executable or where to set the svn user preference folder. -----$HOME/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/80bb27097a93504d09abed3246fec30c------ K 8 passtype V 6 simple K 8 password V 9 my_password_in_plain_text K 15 svn:realmstring V 53 <https://url_to_repo:443> Subversion Repository K 8 username V 5 svn_username END ------- $PROJECT_HOME/vendor/plugins/.svn/dir-prop-base ----------- K 13 svn:externals V 202 backgroundrb http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-1.0.1/ local_plugin https://internal_repo_with_authentication/rails/plugins/local_plugin efficient-sql svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/efficient-sql END
I have encountered this exact same issue with NetBeans 6.5 on Mac OS X. I am forced to use another subversion client outside of NetBeans.
I have the same issue. I used a subversion repository which contains a link to another subversion repository through "svn:externals", and this other repository needs another username/password. When I update the project with the commandline svn client, no passwords are asked (Subversion has the passwords cached.).
Seems like this bug still exists in Netbeans 6.9 Beta
This bug still exists in Netbeans 6.9.1 Both main repository and external have their authentication cached in Netbeans. After applying the external property and updating (svn), Netbeans will the print authentication failure message in console. Doing the same procedure through TortoiseSVN, it works fine.
