#25271 SVN E000013 error when committing

[Roblox Research Efficiency]

I am experiencing the same issue as the ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/25208/

After checking out as follows:

svn co --username=rr-eng svn+ssh://rr-eng@svn.code.sf.net/p/g3d/code/G3D10 G3D10/

I made a change and tried to commit. I then ran into this error:
Sending G3D-gfx.lib/source/Texture.cpp Transmitting file data .done Committing transaction... svn: E000013: Commit failed (details follow): svn: E000013: Can't open file '/svn/p/g3d/code/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied

Hello,

Can you make sure the correct username is being used?

Sincerely,
SourceForge Support

[Roblox Research Efficiency]

yep, my username of rr-eng is being used and is in the url of the repo as well:

URL: svn+ssh://rr-eng@svn.code.sf.net/p/g3d/code/G3D10
Relative URL: ^/G3D10
Repository Root: svn+ssh://rr-eng@svn.code.sf.net/p/g3d/code

[SourceForge Support]

Hello,

We don't see your username in our logs.
Are you running the command from terminal or using an SVN client?
There are probably some other credentials being used by your client. Please verify that.

Sincerely,

I am running these commands from a WSL terminal. The SSH authentication works though when I checkout the repo, just getting that SVN permissions error when trying to commit.

Hello,

We believe there are other credentials being used by your client.

There are a couple of files inside ~/.subversion/ (config, servers) where you can change the configuration for authentication to not store credentials by changing this line
store-auth-creds = no

If previos credentials are being used, changing the configurations there should fix it.

All the Subversion authentication gets stored in the ~/.subversion/auth folder.

If you don't want to change the files.
You can test it by removing the ~/.subversion/auth folder to get rid of the old credentials.
If you don't want to delete it, you can rename it, see if the commit works then change it back.

Sincerely,

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I have ensured that store-auth-creds = no is in my config file under ~/.subversion/ and have deleted the ~/.subversion/auth folder. One thing I can think of is that this account was manually verified because it had an email alias that was not receiving the confirmation email sent when creating the account. Does this have something to do with access? I am just stumped.

[SourceForge Support]

Hello,

The way you verified the account shouldn't matter.
As we mentioned before, we are not even seeing the right username being used.

The username we see in our logs is: gray-cat

Could that be your local computer username?

You could start over with a new checkout, maybe with a different svn client or in a different environment.

Hey, thanks again for getting back to me. My local computer name is not gray-cat and I used grep through my whole workspace to check for that text. I did not find anything of the sort.

I started over with a new checkout using Windows itself rather than WSL. I also tried using the TortoiseSVN client through the File Explorer. The only account I've had on my computer is rr-eng so there wasn't any other credentials I found. Again, I am able to authenticate with SSH when checking out, it's just committing that is throwing this permissions error.

[SourceForge Support]

Hello,

Can you please try again now.

Sincerely,
SourceForge Support

[Roblox Research Efficiency]

I saw you cleared the ssh public keys and I re-added mine and it worked! Thank you so much. Out of curiosity, do you know what the problem was?

[SourceForge Support]

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

An internal field was missing on your user record.
We're making sure it won't happen again.
