Getting error while doing svn update

At revision 34237
svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals definitions.

I am getting the above error whenever I am doing svn update. I had faced this problem one more time and I had to delete the repo and do checkout branch again to make it work

Here is my svn status -

For the core problems you can try

cd core
svn cleanup
svn up

If any errors occur there, post them here.

This is the error I get while doing svn up in core

At revision 13879.
svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals definitions

[Biswesh]

Another problem I am facing is that when I am building jar file for the past 2-3 times its getting completed in 1 second although it shows build successful. Previously it used to take around 7-8 seconds. Here I am building PT_Assistant plugin only. I guess even that is not working properly now.

[stoecker]

Please tell the error and not only the last line. Somwhere before that line there was one or more error. This is the important information.

[Biswesh]

Sorry for not mentioning it before. This is the error I am getting most of the time.

svn: warning: W205011: Error handling externals definition for 'core/src/org/apache/commons/logging’

This is what happens when I do svn up -

This is the relevant part of that paste:

svn: warning: W170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/jcs/trunk/commons-jcs-core/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/jcs'
 
svn: warning: W205011: Error handling externals definition for 'core/src/org/apache/commons/logging':
svn: warning: W170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/logging/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/logging'

Btw, It is best to append those logs as text file and not paste them to an online portal. This makes it easier for us to view them.

Edit: @Don-vip Why is that external reference not using the https link?

[stoecker]

Maybe HTTPS is the reason? Probably HTTP is turned off or redirected? SVN by design does not like redirects much.

[michael2402]

Http is fine for this repo, but the redirect is the reason:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/jcs/trunk/commons-jcs-core/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/jcs

↓

301 Moved Permanently
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/jcs/trunk/commons-jcs-core/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/jcs/

We should update that external definition to include the / (and include the https).

[Biswesh]

Its the middle Error which I always get. Others do not occur everytime. Such warnings used to come before as well but the error didn't occur.

[stoecker]

In 13880/josm:

see #16346 - unify svn:externals style using new style everywhere, append slashes for directories, use https

Did last checkin help?

I doubt that is a reason. SVN does not do a simple GET request and knows, that these are links to directories, as files aren't allowed there.

Result of building the pt_assistant plugin.

[Biswesh]

svn update works fine now. Thanks a lot for the help. But when I build pt_assistant plugin, it takes 0 seconds to build. Generally it took 7-8 seconds. Is it getting built? Above I have attached the file containing output of the building the plugin .

[stoecker]

Very likely you simply already have built the plugin. A build only does much when it has to do much. It does not do everything always. Try ant clean before if you feel it should take longer.

[Biswesh]

Ok. Thanks for the help everyone.
