Authorization error when using Google Code and TortoiseSVN


I want to commit my project to https://code.google.com, but TortoiseSVN gives the following error:

authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://personal-domain-mail-gadget.googlecode.com)

Error

What is the solution for this error?


Solution

  • It looks like the Google Code servers were not able to successfully authenticate you:

    authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge

    Are you sure that you're using the correct user name and password? Remember that it's not the same password as you use for your Gmail account—Google generates/uses a new, separate password for SVN.

    You can get (and regenerate) your GoogleCode password here: https://code.google.com/hosting/settings
