Subversion configuration with ViewVC gives me a "Malformed XML" Error

Michael Tiede

Hello,

I'm trying to configure the Subversion Plugin (atlassian-jira-subversion-plugin-0.10.11.1-distribution) with ViewVC (version 1.1.6).
However, everything I've tried results in a Malformed XML error.

Errors
    svn: E130003: Malformed XML
    Error occurred while updating the repository. Please refer to the log for more details.

The first part of the exception within the log files shows the following:

2013-05-27 13:55:41,164 http-bio-8080-exec-19 ERROR admin 835x116x1 taayw5 129.247.51.66 /secure/UpdateSubversionRepository.jspa [plugin.ext.subversion.SubversionManagerImpl] Connection to Subversion repository https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc failed: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E130003: Malformed XML
org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E130003: Malformed XML
...

Lets say my domain is: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc/ where I can browse all repository of our domain. If I click on a repository, the domain changes to:

https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc/?root=repoSampleName

The repoSampleName contains subfolders, e.g. AndroidApp, while AndroidApp contains the subfolders trunk, branches, tags. If I click on this subfolder up to the trunk, the domain looks like this:

https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc/AndroidApp/trunk/?root=repoSampleName

Here is my configuration:

Repository Root: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc
Status: Inactive (svn: E130003: Malformed XML)
Changeset Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc?root=repoSampleName&view=revision&revision=${rev}
File Added Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=repoSampleName&revision=${rev}&view=markup
File Modified Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=repoSampleName&r1=${rev}&r2=${rev-1}&pathrev=${rev}
File Replaced Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=repoSampleName&r1=${rev}&r2=${rev-1}&pathrev=${rev}
File Deleted Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=repoSampleName&pathrev=${rev-1}

My View Format is empty, but I tried this one:

View Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=repoSampleName&pathrev=${rev}&view=markup

What is wrong in my configuration? I also tried to use the Repository Root: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc?root=repoSampleName

I hope you can help me or point me into the right direction.

Best regards,
Michael

You're using the wrong URL

ViewVC is a web interface onto the Subversion (SVN) data, it's not Subversion. That is why it's failing. It's a bit like trying to point Outlook at a web mail page & expecting it to work.

You need to use the URL of your subversion repository.

e.g. http://my-dmz.domain.com/svn/repoSampleName

Forget ViewVC in relation to the interface between Jira & Subversion

Matthew, I'm not sure if I got your idea, but it helped me to fix the Error. I was confused by the provided option of the "Web view" where I can select ViewVC.

My new configuration uses the svn-domain in repository, but the viewvc-domain for the web view. In my case https://my-dmz.domain.com/svn/repoSampleName for svn and https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc?root=repoSampleName for the ViewVC web view.

Here is my new configuration:

Repository Root: https://my-dmz.domain.com/svn/AndroidApp/
Status: Active

Changeset Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc?root=AndroidApp&revision=${rev}&pathrev=${rev}&view=rev
File Added Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=AndroidApp&pathrev=${rev}
File Modified Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=AndroidApp&pathrev=${rev}&view=diff&r1=${rev}&r2=${rev-1}&diff_format=h
File Replaced Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}/?root=AndroidApp&revision=${rev}&view=markup
File Deleted Format: https://my-dmz.domain.com/viewvc${path}?root=AndroidApp&pathrev=${rev-1}

Is that what you meant?

I still have a problem that I can not see any subversion commits in my JIRA issues. I commited to my repository using the message "JIRA KEY-12 some more information ..", where KEY would be my project key and 12 my current issue number. I think I should see a subversion tab somewhere, but I only see Subversion on the Administration page. Are there any good guides to help me getting started? I started with this guide, but the screenshots look totally different to my JIRA version (5.2.10). In my case, when I open the issue and have a look at "Activity" I only see the tabs All, Comments, Work Log, History, Activity but not the "Subversion Commit" tab.

It can sometimes take a while to index a new repository. It's perhaps worth doing a new commit to check?

You shoudl see a subversion tab on the issue view screen and also one at the project level for any commit associated with that project

I can not see any subversion tab. Here you can see three screenshots:

project administration: http://s7.directupload.net/images/130528/nbj39tai.png

tabs on the left when clicking on the project: http://s1.directupload.net/images/130528/d4hndkfj.png

viewing an issue: http://s14.directupload.net/images/130528/yflktrvg.png

I guess I should see the subversion tab somewhere at these screens.
Is it possible that you provide a screenshot showing the tabs? Any idea why I can not see the tab? I simply installed the plugin and configured the subversion repository. What is the next step? should I see the subversion tab automatically, or do I need to configure something else?

Thanks in advance.
