Managing wordpress plugins SVN with your mac

Ouch :) This article was published 11 years ago - might be out of date, check out stuff or leave comment

this is just the kind of manipulation you'd like automated. there is a very good document on doing SVN with SVNX (equivalent of TortoiseSVN on windows) on mac on this site "zigpress", but if you choose the command line tools option, you might encounter some tricky errors that took me a few hours to solve : when doing a diff on my wordpress event plugin after installing the command line option on my MAC OS 10.8.4 and specifiying the usr bin folder in the svnx preferences as illustrated below, I got the following errors

  • "svnx xcode-select filemerge no xcode folder is set"
    Answer  : in my case the solution was to use the  xcode-select tool to specify the usr bin folder : sudo xcode-select -switch /usr/bin
  • after sorting the stuff I tried the diff and the default diff tool, even though present in usr/bin, does not work :
    "xcrun: Error: failed to exec real xcrun. (No such file or directory)"
    Solution  : do as indicated on the zigpress : download and use textwrangler diff feature
