EnvVar SVN_REVISION and SVN_URL not set

The environment variables %SVN_REVISION% and %SVN_URL% aren't set when I use a SVN repository running on a Visual SVN server. All other SVN interactions work fine, e.g. checkout and change detection. Running the job with another SVN server works too.

Freestyle job configuration:

Repository URL:            http://SERVERNAME:81/svn/Projects/ProjectName__5_9_1_3/trunk
Local module directory:    trunk
Repository depth option:   infinity

Output of windows set command in the build operation (SVN_REVISION and SVN_URL missing)

...
SESSIONNAME=RDP-Tcp#0
SystemDrive=C:
SystemRoot=C:\Windows
...

System information

  • Jenkins: v1.531
  • Subversion plugin: v1.51
  • JAVA Runtime: v1.6.0_35
  • VisualSVN Server: v2.7

The Jenkins error log put me on the right track:

WARNUNG: no revision found corresponding to http://SERVERNAME/svn/Project/trunk; known: [http://servername/svn/Project/trunk]

It seems that Jenkins/subversion/SVNKit is case sensitive and in my case I wrote the server name in capital letters by mistake.

It happened to me today that I have several SVN paths being checked out for the project and thus they all have different revision number. Jenkis ended up creating several variables: SVN_REVSION_1, SVN_REVISION_2, etc...

You can add at the end a Batch script and use the SET command (Windows) so you can see in the console output all the variables available and their values.
