#19 Stat scm does not work with svn repo with authentification

[Alexandre Navarro]

I have a svn repo with authentification.

I add in my settings.xml
<server>
<id>host:port</id>
<username>user</username>
<password>pass</password>
</server>

When I launched site:site, statscm takes the username as parameter but waits the entering of the password instead of passing it in the command line.

With scm:changelog, the same configuration works well.

StatSCM does nothing more than run the svn command on the command line
to get the log file. So try a

svn login

Then subversion has your password saved on disk and will not need it.
You can try this on the command line so that you can get the log file
without the authentication prompt. If the command line does not need
your password StatSCM will not either (I hope).

I does not read or use the settings.xml file.

Thank you. I think it was not possible in svn (I did know well svn compared to cvs) but after configuring some config files, it seems to work. Thank you, you can close the issue.
