I'm having trouble trying to checkout a repo using the following syntax on a Windows 7 workstation with TortoiseSvn:
svn co svn+ssh://user@ip/repo .
What I've done to test this issue:
When I try to do the above syntax from the command line on the Windows 7 workstation I get the error:
svn: E720087: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh:///user@ip/repo'
svn: E720087: Can't create tunnel:The parameter is incorrect.
Interestingly, if I use the tortoise gui to browse to the repo I can successfully open and check out the repo. But I need to do it from the command line for scripting purposes.
Any suggestions?
For svn+ssh to work with Tortoise, make sure %SVN_SSH%
is set to your ssh client (probably plink.exe from Tortoise or Putty) and the path must be written either with forward slashes /
or with escaped backslashes \\\\
.
Try to set %SVN_SSH%
with the absolute path of plink while escaping the backslashes, something like C:\\\\Program Files\\\\TortoiseSVN\\\\bin\\\\TortoisePlink.exe
instead of ..\\TortoisePlink.exe
%APPDATA%config
file, [tunnels]
sectionCheck that the path to TortoisePlink is not corrupted in your Tortoise SVN config...
[tunnels]
section and check the value for ssh
which should be uncommented, use double slashes etc - I had problems as there seemed to be a Unicode control code at the beginning of the path.### On Windows, if you are specifying a full path to a command, ### use a forward slash (/) or a paired backslash (\\) as the ### path separator. A single backslash will be treated as an ### escape for the following character. ssh = C\:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe
It also turns out the the line in the Tunnels section of the config file is case sensitive.
For example: sh = $SVN_SSH "C:/path/putty/plink.exe" -2 -C -i "C:/path/username/serversvn.ppk" might work
and
sh = $SVN_SSH "C:/path/PuTTY/plink.exe" -2 -C -i "C:/path/username/serversvn.ppk" won't work
I had a similar, but slightly different issue.
I tried connecting to our SSH+SVN server through Pycharm and it hung. Tried the regular way through windows right click, tortoiseSVN and got this same "Can't create tunnel" issue.
I believe this issue was created because I tried to connect to my repo via pycharm, which automatically created a tunnel line in the tortoise SVN config file.
I followed Kevin Sadler's answer, but just commented out the ssh line, and it was back to normal. Checkouts and commits were working again.
Kevin's answer:
