RE: TortoiseSVN - Issues when working in a sub-dir within a WC - "svn: warning: W155007: '.' is not a working copy"

Hi, Stefan…

UAC is not enabled in the machine – Company policy.

Attached you can find a zip file with the PROCMON .pml trace of the activity of the svn.exe command while performing the following actions:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\es\Gobierno_Canario\SIEM_Pliego
>svn st
svn: warning: W155007: '.' is not a working copy

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\es\Gobierno_Canario\SIEM_Pliego
>cd ..

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\ES\Gobierno_Canario
>svn st

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\ES\Gobierno_Canario
>cd SIEM_Pliego

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\ES\Gobierno_Canario\SIEM_Pliego
>svn st

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\ES\Gobierno_Canario\SIEM_Pliego
>

To get to that directory, I did WIN+R, opened the folder directly and from there I did ctrl-M to get a command prompt (thanks to your incredibly useful StEx).

As you can see in the attached screenshot, the folder is *not* showing the proper TSVN shell commands. I have to “click” to the root SVN CO folder (C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort) to get the proper behavior… Sometimes though it’s enough to get “up” one or two levels to get the proper behavior working…

Hope this helps.

Best Regards

                Javier

No, you don't necessarily. Vista introduced reduced access for Admins
and the UAC dialogs.

Repeating myself:
Please get the procmon tool from here:
http://technet.micro%e2%80%8b%e2%80%8bsoft.com/en-us/sysi%e2%80%8bn%e2%80%8bternals/bb896645<http://technet.micro%E2%80%8Bsoft.com/en-us/sysin%E2%80%8Bternals/bb896645>
and filter for 'svn.exe' and then try to repeat the problem with the CL
client.
Maybe the log shows something like access problems which might give a
hint what could be wrong here.

A video doesn't help at all.

Stefan
