Fisheye unable to recognize the SVN repository - Unable to make progress.

[Viswanath]

I am having trouble setting up repository in Fisheye. I have installed SVN and Tortoise SVN client. I have installed JIRA, Fisheye/Crucible to demo the advantages in linking up source control with issue and then to perform automated code reviews - there by improving developers productivity and collaboration.

Versions 

Fisheye Version:3.9.1 Build:20150910131426 2015-09-10

SVN - TortoiseSVN-1.9.1.26747-x64-svn-1.9.1

Hi @Viswanath,

It seems your repository is in the FSFS 7 format (see https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/structure) introduced in SVN 1.9 version (see https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html).  I'm afraid FishEye does not support SVN 1.9 yet, there is an open improvement raised: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-5579

For now I would suggest you downgrade your svn binary to 1.8 version and create repository with it (svn info shows you are at revision 3, so I hope it is brand new repository with no content in it yet).  FishEye supports 1.8 version, so the integration will work smoothly.

Kind regards,
Piotr

Hi Piotr,

That worked. Thanks for your help.

I'm glad you find this answer useful, I hope you will find the JIRA and FishEye/Crucible useful!
