Subclipse can't rename file (OS X)
eclipse, java, subclipse, svn
Solution
No worries. Aunty Google found it for me
chflags -R nouchg .
From the comments here:
If you're changing workspaces on OS X and you import an SVN-based project into your new workspace, some of your files may have the uchg flag set. SubClipse/SVN will not be able to update this project. You will get an error:
svn: Cannot rename file
every time you try invoke svn. If you issue:
chflags -R nouchg .
at the top-level of the project directory this will clear these flags and restore SVN function.
Problem
I can't perform any Subversion operations on my Eclipse project as Subclipse can't rename a file. The error is: ``` Caused by: org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: svn: Cannot rename file '/Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/tmp/entries' to '/Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/entries' at org.tigris.subversion.javahl.JavaHLObjectFactory.throwException(JavaHLObjectFactory.java:777) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.javahl.SVNClientImpl.throwException(SVNClientImpl.java:1850) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.javahl.SVNClientImpl.cleanup(SVNClientImpl.java:863) at org.tigris.subversion.svnclientadapter.javahl.AbstractJhlClientAdapter.cleanup(AbstractJhlClientAdapter.java:1958) ... 8 more Caused by: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: Cannot rename file '/Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/tmp/entries' to '/Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/entries' ``` I'm running OSX Snow Leopard, Eclipse 3.5, Subclipse 1.6.5. It looks like a permissions problem. If I list the directories in the error I get: ``` drwxrwxrwx 8 damianharvey staff 272 19 Nov 17:43 . drwxrwxrwx 16 damianharvey staff 544 21 Sep 14:53 .. -r--r--r-- 1 damianharvey staff 2030 21 Sep 14:53 all-wcprops -r--r--r-- 1 damianharvey staff 2313 21 Sep 14:53 entries drwxrwxrwx 2 damianharvey staff 68 21 Sep 14:53 prop-base drwxrwxrwx 2 damianharvey staff 68 21 Sep 14:53 props drwxrwxrwx 15 damianharvey staff 510 21 Sep 14:53 text-base drwxrwxrwx 6 damianharvey staff 204 19 Nov 17:19 tmp ``` So I assume that it's the read-only permissions that is preventing this. If I try to chmod this to a very broad 777: ``` sudo chmod 777 /Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/entries chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/entries: Operation not permitted ``` Any ideas? Would quite like to commit my code. Many Thanks.
