Using Subversion with intellij idea

Question

I installed TortoiseSVN 1.8 in my windows system. I cannot seem to checkout from a repository using Intellij Idea 14.14

I configured the settings of Intellij idea to correctly give the path of the location of svn.exe

But upon checking out it says:

Cannot checkout from svn: 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Am i missing anything else?

Sounds like the path to your SVN tools is something like `C:\Program Files` and it's either not properly quoted or the app doesn't know how to deal with spaces in paths. — AlG
That's what i thought but since i browsed to the location in intellij idea i thought it would figure it out. — Vikash Balasubramanian

Go to Settings -> Version Control -> Subversion and try setting "Use command line client:" to simply svn (no path).

Given that svn.exe is available in the path and can be executed via svn on a normal command line, this should work.
