GetComponents --update hangs

Issue #135 closed
Erik Schnetter created an issue

I have a case where GetComponents hangs reliably when I try to update my Formaline repository. When I run "svn update" manually, it shows that there are conflicts, and waits for user input. GetComponents doesn't show this interaction and thus hangs indefinitely.

    I increase the priority of this to "critical", because this problem means I cannot use GetComponents -- I have to watch the progress, abort if it stalls for a few minutes, run "svn update" manually, and then continue.

    How about we just add the "--non-interactive" flag to "svn update" calls? That should prevent it from stalling, and I imagine also produce an error that GetComponents will catch. I would suggest adding the flag to all svn calls, but I think that would cause even more issues with the server certificates...

    I have added the "--non-interactive" flag, but I'm not closing the ticket yet. I would like to do some nice parsing of the output so I can inform you that there was a conflict, not just an error, but that will require some reworking of the run_command subroutine. In the meantime, GetComponents should no longer stall on your updates and indicate that there was an issue in updating the conflicted component.

    GetComponents will now warn you if an svn component had conflicts during the update. It will treat it as an error, and should exit with a non-zero status in case you are scripting GetComponents.
