puppet-vcsrepo module, retry checkout if a failure occurs

Question

I have an issue with svn checkout because of an svn server issue.

Is it possible somehow to clean-up -> update a repository if I get error during svn checkout?

Answer 1

If you're talking about the official VCS module , I believe you can use the force => 'true option to ensure that the content is always correct, which will add the --force tag to the svn command.

However , using force is destructive so I'd double check you're not removing any files you need. It'll also need snv version > 1.3 from a quick look at the documentation.
