How to fix Subversion lock error


How do you fix the Subversion/Subclipse error "Attempted to lock an already-locked dir"?

Googling shows people routinely encounter this error, and the only solution I've seen posted is to run Subclipse's Team->Cleanup command. Unfortunately, I get this error when I run the Team->Cleanup command. Are there any other options?


Solution

  • I tried recursively deleting all lock files, but that just resulted the error "Path is not a working copy". I ended up having to do Team->Disconnect and then Team->Share. Upon reconnect, it complained about existing .svn files, which it deleted. Now it seems to be working.
