SubWCRev exited with code 9009

Question

Error 50 The command "SubWCRev "C:\Users\texasman\Desktop\flash\FD\" "C:\Users\texasman\Desktop\flash\FD\FlashDevelop\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs.rev" "C:\Users\texasman\Desktop\flash\FD\FlashDevelop\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs"" exited with code 9009. FlashDevelop

I get that error trying to build flashdevelop's latest trunk. I was interested in using the program for developing some flash for my website. but everything I do I can't build it cause of that error.

I have tried vs 2008 which is the prescribed version and I just tried it with vs 2010.

I am using tortoisesvn to pull it down. and on win 7.

 AssemblyInfo.cs.rev - exists in the folder.
 AssemblyInfo.cs     - does not exist in the folder.

I have searched all over the place for a solution to this that I can use and\or understand.

It is the first time I have had an issue like this using svn, but I must add that I have never used svn before actively. I have downloaded programs via svn, but never had any issues.

whats up and how do I fix it?

ok, what i did to fix this particular error is i added the system varibale "%FILE_DEBUG%" to the system environment varibales to the correct path to SubWCRev.exe.

for whatever reason, tortoiseSVN did not add that during install.

so if anyone else is having a similar issue such as this, check that first.

the typical place to check is right click my computer and select properties. on the first tab there will be a button for environment variables. add a new one to the lower list just in case you use multiple accounts. add var name %FILE_DEBUG% and full path to c:\full\path\to\SubWCRev.exe.

thx for the help and i hope this helps others. :)

I am investigating this issue for a colleague. On my machine, there is no environment variable %FILE_DEBUG%, but subwcrev works just fine. — R. Schreurs, Mar 29 '16 at 11:45

Can see nothing wrong with your command, except (unrelated to problem)

Uleless Quotation Mars around command and parameters (no spaces - no marks)
Save subwcrev'ed file inside WC - not best choice (you must don't forget svn:ignore it)

In commom: SUBWCREV WC-PATH TPL-FILE RES-FILE is the right pattern, if

C:\Users\texasman\Desktop\flash\FD\ is Working Copy (best case - clean)
AssemblyInfo.cs.rev contain SubWCRev keywords

Steps for debug:

Run SubWCRev without template file in command prompt: subwcrev.exe C:\Users\texasman\Desktop\flash\FD\
Run SubWCRev with short and easy template
Increase complexity of template to AssemblyInfo.cs.rev

C:\Users\texasman\Desktop\flash\FD>subwcrev.exe 'subwcrev.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. got that when i tried first step. – texasman1979 Nov 05 '12 at 01:52
@texasman1979 - OK, find subwcrev.exe in your system and use full path to fle in command (hint: subwcrev is a part of TortoiseSVN) – Lazy Badger Nov 05 '12 at 02:08

Similar error with Visual-Studio 2012. Ran the command manually at the command prompt and it worked.

Fixed the problem by quitting Visual Studio and re-running it.

Thanks. Worked the same for me in Visual Studio 2015 (exiting completely, not using Restart). – Suncat2000 Nov 02 '17 at 18:48

I had the same problem. In this case, I think the 9009 is coming from Visual Studio and not SubWCRev.exe. The answer that worked for me was found in https://stackoverflow.com/a/1988703/90236. It explains how to add the directory where subwcrev.exe is installed to your %PATH% environment variable.

In my case, I was following the example from http://www.diogonunes.com/blog/embed-svns-revision-into-assemblyinfos-version-number/ and had a pre-build event like:

"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\SubWCRev.exe" $(ProjectDir). $(ProjectDir)Properties\AssemblyInfo_template.cs $(ProjectDir)Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs

My mistake was I had not properly quoted the path to the Exe, so the space in the path for "Program files" caused the 9009 error. Fixing my quoted path fixed the error.

SubWCRev exited with code 9009
