Reading SVN Revision from File

[Noxy]

Heya, new user to auto it, been working away happily at it all day.

Basically what im doing is a bug submission Utility, it fills out a webform based on user input, one of the things I would like to submit (automatically)would be the

SVN Revision of a particular file , hopefully I can do this without asking our programmers to change the compiler.

Ive been trying FileGetVersion , however theres no SVN info on that tab

The svn info is on its own tab called "subversion".

If theres a way to read this without having to ask programmers to change something just for QA dept, that would be great .

Any help would be great

In the mean time I have used the "last modified" date, however thats not ideal since the person reading the bug would then have to look up the dates to find the revision number.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

I'm facing a similar problem and I'm stumped (though I have to admit I am new to AutoIt). I'm working on automating testing routines for our software and I need the logfiles for the test runs to include the tested revision number. We are using SVN with Tortoise. I tried googling but there are so many pages about using SVN for version controlling AutoIt source code, it's impossible to find anything about AutoIt accessing SVN's data.

Any ideas? Help would be highly appreciated.

Using the Auto Info tool, are you able to get a control handle to a text box that contains the rev number?

Auto It can read the contents of text boxes.

In general, getting the rev # is not easy. I'm interested in this too so I'll see if I can't get something working.

I found this on Google - http://research.tannerpages.com/Blog/Good-...totools-project

Ok, I can get a version number from a folder. Since each folder can have different versions, you can manage your checkouts/updates

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

Global $rev = ""
Local $pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c svnversion", 'C:\foo\bar\trunk\', @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
While 1

    $rev = StdoutRead($pid)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    Local $result_array = StringSplit($rev, @LF)
    If NOT ($result_array[1] == "") Then
        $rev = $result_array[1]
        ExitLoop
    EndIf   
Wend

StdioClose($pid)
MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $rev)

You can also use Command Line Parameters like $CmdLine[0] to pass the path to AutoIT

Hope that helps
