SVN doesn't execute hook script

[Kevin Chu]

Hello,

I had TortoiseSVN 1.4.8, svn-win32-1.4.6, and SubversionNotify 1.4.5.3 installed on my server. And I wrote post-commit.bat which calls my-post-commit.vbs. These two files were stored in D:\SVN\SVNRepository\hooks.

I tested these two script by running post-commit.bat under command line, and it worked successfully with an html format email sent out to my email account.  

But when I test it after a commit on TortoiseSVN, no email was sent out. It looks like the hook script: post-commit.bat was never executed by Subversion after a commit since the SubversionNotify.log was never updated either. 

What should I do to make it work?
Please help. Thank you.

Here are my files.

echo %2

objEnv("PATH") = "C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\SubversionNotify;" & objEnv("PATH")
'Wscript.Echo objEnv("PATH")

'Create the object that is used to execute the command-line output.
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

If Wscript.Arguments.Count = 2 Then
  REPOSPATH = WScript.Arguments(0)
  REVNUM = WScript.Arguments(1)
  mypath = "%comspec% /c SubversionNotify " & REPOSPATH & " " & REVNUM & " -post"
  'Wscript.Echo mypath
  'Wscript.Echo objEnv("PATH")
  WshShell.Run(mypath), 0, true
Else
  Wscript.Echo "post-commit.vbs usage: post-commit REPOS-PATH REV-NUM"
End If

You are making the single most common mistake for hooks.  Subversion runs the hook with no environment.  No PATH, no environment variables, nothing.  Your VBS script is assuming those environment variables such as PATH and COMSPEC exist, which is why it works perfectly from the command-line, but not from Subversion.

Also, why do you execute a VBS script from the batch file just to execute Subversion Notify?  Why not use the batch files that come with Subversion Notify that call Subversion Notify straight from the batch file?
