Showing SVN Revision number in coldfusion

Question

I want to get the latest svn revision number using coldfusion. Any idea how?

Answer 1

You still have to parse the results, like this: (May vary depending on your SVN app and whether on Windows or Linux)

<cfexecute name="c:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\svn.exe" timeout="30"
            arguments="--username myusername --password mypassword info ""c:\inetpub\mysite\"""
            variable="res"></cfexecute>

<cfset a = listToArray(res,chr(10))>


<cfset rev=0>
<cfloop array="#a#" index="i">
    <cfset info = listToArray(i,":")>
    <cfif info[1] eq "Last Changed Rev">
            <cfset rev=trim(info[2])>
    </cfif>
</cfloop>

<cfoutput>#rev#</cfoutput>

Answer 2

<cfset workcopyPath = "[path to svn working copy]">
<cfset svnPath = "[path to svn executable]">
<cfset svnArg = " info #workcopyPath#">

<cfexecute name="#svnPath#"
           arguments="#svnArg#"
           timeout="10"
           variable="svnInfoResult">

<cfdump var=#svnInfoResult#>
