Problems committing deleted directory to SVN repository

Question

I'm using Eclipse Europa with Subversive SVN plugin.

When try to commit deleted directory SVN returns this message:

Some of selected resources were not committed.
Item is out of date
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Item '/myProject/trunk/src/test/config' is out of date

Content of the folder has been already deleted and committed.

What can I do to commit it?

Solution 1

Try updating first, then delete and commit.

Solution 2

Had this issue too. What solved it for me was the following

• Update
• Delete contents of folder
• Commit
• Update
• Delete folder
• Commit

Frustrating to have to do this in 2 stages!

Solution 3

Just delete the folder using Svn repository exploring, then update the project.

Solution 4

Just right click on the Update to Head and then commit its works for me

Solution 5

I could see that this ticket is old but the below steps might help someone who is facing the issue.

1. Update the parent folder.
2. Delete the folder you want to delete from the working repository.
3. Commit the parent folder.

I use Subclipse plugin in eclipse which has very user-friendly GUI to support Subversion. May be try if interested - https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/subclipse

For some reason, svn will bitch about this even if you are on HEAD.
