Patch: Get latest revision number

I should clarify that a little.&nbsp; I do an <update> before the status which updates my (cruise control) working copy, and the status/info is obviously a status of that working copy.

 

 

Svn info works fine for me.

 

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <svn>

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; <status path=";." revisionProperty="repository.revision&quot;/>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  </svn>;

 

You then just pass the property repository.revision around.&nbsp; You have to remember though that ant properties are transient, so if you call say an update target that does the svn stuff with an <antcall> from another target, the property isn’t visible to the calling target.&nbsp; You have to call you build script with ant update build rather than ant build and have build call update, to allow the property to be visible between targets. ; This is normal ant behaviour.

 

Hope it helps.

 

Greg.

So, the info task didn't work too well, and In the end, I thought it

would be simpler to just have a simple ant task to obtain the latest

revision number of the repository.

 

This allows ant tasks to "do things&quot; with the revision number they are

going to build from (e.g, provide the revision number to other remote

systems).

 

I've attached a patch with introduces a "latestRevision&quot; command to

svnant.

It allows you to do this:

 

<svn>;

  <latestRevision target=&quot;http://someRepo&quot; propertyName="rev.latest&quot;/>

</svn&gt;

<echo message=&quot;Latest revision number is ${rev.latest}"/&gt;

 

(property name is optional - defaults to svn.revison.latest

 

Please let me know what you think (I can create an issue to attach the

patch to if you like?)

 

Cheers,

 

Dave
