Getting “CHECKOUT can only be performed on a versi

Question

I'm using Eclipse Juno on Mac 10.7.5, SVN 1.7 and the Eclipse Subversive plugin. Occassioanlly, when I try and commit changes from my project (by right clicking on the project from the package explorer, selecting "Team" -> "Commit"), I get the error:

Some of selected resources were not committed.
Some of selected resources were not committed.
svn: E200007: Commit failed (details follow):

svn: E200007: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E200007: CHECKOUT can only be performed on a version resource [at this time].
svn: E175002: CHECKOUT request failed on '/svn/subco-digital.coderepo/!svn/rvr/2110/trunk/myproject/src/main/java/org/mainco/subco/myproject/validator/UserFormValidator.java'

I have verified that I have checked out the latest version of my project. How can I take care of these repeated errors?

Answer 1

This is most likely your console svn version is different to your Eclipse "SVNKIT (Pure Java)" version, you can change Preferences=>Team=>SVN=>SVN interface=>Client using "JavaHL (JNI)"

My case is as below, using Java HL 1.7.10 is ok, but using SVNKIt v1.7.9 will have the problem

wuliang-Mac:src wwu$ svn --version
svn, version 1.7.10 (r1485443)
compiled Jul  9 2013, 12:55:03

Answer 2

Cleaning up worked for me:

right click on the project -> team -> cleanup / refresh

Answer 3

There is bug reported in SVNKit with the same error.

Answer 4

In my case, project -> team -> cleanup / refresh worked for one of the files but not the other. Simply copy the command that failed from svn console on eclipse and run it in console with "svn" prefix works for me. So the syntax is:

svn commit -m "comment" -N /path/to/file

Answer 5

Encounter this when server is upgrading svn version.

For Idea Intellij user, what we need to do is

1. select the project root directory in the left project panel
2. in the top menu, select VCS -> Subversion -> Cleanup

Now you should be able to checkin/out.

Answer 6

As I commented in other post...

For those that project -> team -> cleanup doesn't work in eclipse try:

• Force the cleanup using SVN Tortoise
• From terminal with command svn cleanup /folder_to_cleanup
