I am trying to checkout an entire SVN repository using svnkit to local directory and when I try the SVNUpdateClient updateClient = clientManger.getUpdateClient(); always return null. I am using svnkit to do so.
Here is my code:
File wcFolder=new File("some directory path");
ISVNOptions myOptions=SVNWCUtil.createDefaultOptions(true);
ISVNAuthenticationManager myAuthManager=SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager("xyz","abc");
SVNClientManager clientManger = SVNClientManager.newInstance(myOptions, myAuthManager);
SVNUpdateClient updateClient = clientManger.getUpdateClient();
updateClient.setIgnoreExternals(false);
updateClient.doCheckout(SVNURL.parseURIDecoded("some path to xyz/trunk"), wcFolder, SVNRevision.HEAD,SVNRevision.HEAD, SVNDepth.INFINITY, true);
I found the correct way of checking out the SVN,
SVNURL svnurl = SVNURL.parseURIDecoded(url);
SVNRepository repository = SVNRepositoryFactory.create(svnurl);
ISVNAuthenticationManager authManager = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(uname, password);
repository.setAuthenticationManager(authManager);
SVNClientManager ourClientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance();
ourClientManager.setAuthenticationManager(authManager);
SVNUpdateClient updateClient = ourClientManager.getUpdateClient();
updateClient.setIgnoreExternals(true);
long latestRevision = repository.getLatestRevision();
if (updateClient.doCheckout(svnurl, destinationDir,
SVNRevision.HEAD, SVNRevision.HEAD, SVNDepth.INFINITY,
allowUnversionedObstructions) == latestRevision) {
ourClientManager.dispose();
}
