Getting "CHECKOUT can only be performed on a version resource" when trying to commit using Eclipse subversive plugin

Question

I'm using Eclipse Juno on Mac 10.7.5, SVN 1.7 and the Eclipse Subversive plugin. Occassioanlly, when I try and commit changes from my project (by right clicking on the project from the package explorer, selecting "Team" -> "Commit"), I get the error:

Some of selected resources were not committed.
Some of selected resources were not committed.
svn: E200007: Commit failed (details follow):

svn: E200007: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E200007: CHECKOUT can only be performed on a version resource [at this time].
svn: E175002: CHECKOUT request failed on '/svn/subco-digital.coderepo/!svn/rvr/2110/trunk/myproject/src/main/java/org/mainco/subco/myproject/validator/UserFormValidator.java'

I have verified that I have checked out the latest version of my project. How can I take care of these repeated errors?

Solution 1

Cleaning up worked for me:

right click on the project -> team -> cleanup / refresh

Solution 2

As I commented in other post...

For those that project -> team -> cleanup doesn't work in eclipse try:

• Force the cleanup using SVN Tortoise
• From terminal with command svn cleanup /folder_to_cleanup

Solution 3

This is most likely your console svn version is different to your Eclipse "SVNKIT (Pure Java)" version, you can change Preferences=>Team=>SVN=>SVN interface=>Client using "JavaHL (JNI)"

My case is as below, using Java HL 1.7.10 is ok, but using SVNKIt v1.7.9 will have the problem

wuliang-Mac:src wwu$ svn --version
svn, version 1.7.10 (r1485443)
compiled Jul  9 2013, 12:55:03

Solution 4

There is bug reported in SVNKit with the same error.

Solution 5

Try to execute from the terminal:

svn cleanup 

Team -> Refresh/Cleaunp from IDE didn't work for me.

Thanks for this feedback. I'm having trouble getting Eclipse to recognize the JavaHL SVN connector - am currently using the SVNKit connector. Going to troubleshoot that issue and if that turns out to be the problem, I'll come back and accept.

FWIW, this seems to be related to checking out an SVN repository with one version of the SVN client then trying to manage it in Eclipse using a newer version.

Here is a google cache of the issue for anyone scared to click: webcache.googleusercontent.com/…

Nothing new, check @wuLiang´s answer. You have used different versions of SVN clients.

[JuanN]

Sometimes I had to force the cleanup using SVN Tortoise, since Eclipse cleanup didn't work.

[FLBKernel]

Anyway, @khituras I recommend you to change from svn to git :P

[khituras]

Oh, I already did, but there are still old projects in svn :-D

[mike]

Thanks @David. I did the checkout with Tortoise, but tried to commit in Eclipse.

cleanup from Eclipse is not working for me. Cleanup from SVN Tortoise worked great!

[FLBKernel]

This answer would be ok if the question was for Intellij. However it is for Eclipse subversive plugin.

[LeOn - Han Li]

@FLBKernel, i was led to this question when google searching this SVN error. So i thought it might save some other Intellij user some time in case google also take them here. Anyway~~

I had to do 'svn cleanup' from the command line. After that in Eclipse I do refresh, then team->refresh/cleanup

[fchen]

btw, in my case I think it's related to the fact that I used chmod to remove the executible bit of some files and changed the content as well. I later figured out that I have to use 'svn propdel' to do that.

In my SVN Connector only one option is available for select.That is SVNKit 1.8.12..Do I have to download the additional connector.

[Aravindh Gopi]

yes, you can download them here

[Soumyajit Swain]

It worked for me and I managed to checkin from eclipse instead of falling back on tortoise client

[megadave]

Had the same problem with Netbeans. Changing the Client from SvnKit to CLI solved the problem for me.

[Christopher Schultz]

svn cleanup worked for me in a way that none of the other suggested interventions on this page did. Thanks!

[Sean N.]

On MacOS I used "brew reinstall svn" followed by "svn cleanup /folder_to_cleanup". Worked great.

[Cody]

I thought this question was useful despite not being eclipse related. Good for people who are directed here by the same google search.

[Sudeepa Nadeeshan]

This is the common case for 2020-06 (4.16.0). You have to use the terminal to do the cleanup.
