Fisheye shows all SVN commit authors as "svn"

[Jacob Weber]

I have an old Fisheye 4.8.6 server, and it's showing all recent SVN commit authors as "svn" instead of the actual author name, in cases where the author is something like "DOMAIN\username". This is generally what our authors look like — is that a problem for Fisheye?

The repos are svnsync-ed to the same server that Fisheye runs on, and accessed via file:// URLs. They do show the correct authors if I run "svn log" locally.

The strange thing is that this worked before, and I still see old commits with the "DOMAIN\username" style authors. But we migrated our SVN repository, and something must have changed.

Thanks.

That sounds like a frustrating issue, especially since svn log is showing the correct author names locally. I’d suspect something in the FishEye SVN integration or repository configuration rather than the commits themselves. Hopefully someone can pinpoint what changed between the old and new repository setup.

Hi @Jacob Weber 

I assume this started happened after the migration of your SVN server?  If so, is svn recording the usernames correctly since the migration?

[Jacob Weber]

Hi Shawn. Yeah, it started after the migration, but it does seem that SVN is recording the correct usernames, judging from the "svn log" output on the target repository.

"svn" is the Linux user and group that owns the repository.
