Android Studio can't authenticate with SVN

Question

I'm new in Android Studio. I'm trying to import my project and work with the built-in svn of android studio.

When I import the project to android studio, it works fine but the svn of android studio can't authenticate when I update, commit...

The authentication dialog re-appears repeatedly.

What I did:

1. Import project folder from svn server using TortoiseSVN

2. Import project to eclipse and export it as Gradle (Because project on SVN is eclipse project)

3. Import that gradle project into Android Studio

My SVN server is 'svn+ssh' connect. When I'm trying to update or commit, Android studio can't authenticate.

Error:

svn: E204899: E170012: When using svn+ssh:// URLs, keep in mind that the --username and --password options are ignored because authentication is performed by SSH, not Subversion
svn: E170012: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh://zuranai.arx-project.com/opt/SVN1.zap_dev/trunk/android'
svn: E170012: Can't create tunnel
svn: E720002: Can't create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified.

What's wrong with my android studio? Any advice?

Edited:
I can't commit, update but still can revert.

I had same problem, but found a solution.

1. Go to 'Android Studio > Preferences > Version Control > Subversion'
2. Uncheck follow two items
   • Use command line client
   • Use system default Subversion configuration directory

It will now work correctly.

For me the path was Android Studio > Settings > Version Control > Subversion. – Hilarius

For me it was File -> Settings ->VersionControl-> SubVersion in Android Studio – Issacissachar

Please have a look on issue reported in Intellij Idea with some workarounds in reply if it helps you

http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-26844 (Srinivas Reply)

and

you need to set your configuration info in SVN tunnel config file(~/.subversion/config) kssh = /your/path/to/ssh

in tunnel section.example mine looks like : kssh = /usr/bin/ssh

Remember you need to point your IDE to use subversion config file in the subversion options or change it in ~/.subversion_IDEA/config file

sorry for late reply. I've found 'config' file. But I don't know what is '/your/path/to/ssh'. Where can I get It? – Borchert

@Dolphin quite busy, path to the directory where your private key is stored for authentication . If you were using eclipse with ssh earlier yo can find the path in eclipse. – Panto

Answer 4

Maybe an other solution : in my case, the SVN SSL certificate is a self-signed, so AndroidStudio won't make checkout until the certificate is accepted. It seems that AndroidStudio doesn't ask what the user want to do.

The solution was to make a checkout with tortoiseSVN (do it with svn command line otherwise) in a temporary folder. Tortoise asked you for accepting the certificate : choose 'Permanently accept'. After that, AndroidStudio checked out successfully my files.

Please note that AndroidStudio might be configured to use the system svn environment (File > Settings > Version Control > Subversion).

Hope it will help.

Step 1: Android Studio -> File -> Settings -> Version Control -> Subversion -> Click on Clear Auth Cache Step 2: Again check out the project by freshly giving the user credential details.

Answer 6

I was unable to apply any of the above solutions with AS Chipmunk 2021.2.1.

It looks like AS just fails to create an SVN repository.

This was on Linux, so I just created it from the system command line:

svnadmin create my_repository_name

After that, I was able to proceed with importing the project into the repository.

for Android Studio Electric Eel version tested on mac os only setting in android studio make sure that svn is configured(~/.subversion/config) in terminal and ssh key file is mentioned

[tunnels]

ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -i /path-to-ssh-file/

go to android preference->version control -->Subversion -->Enbale interactive mode
