Bug 215863 – [webkitpy] repository svn version is incorrect when working on a branch

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

It seems than when you are working on a SVN branch, the SVN revision pointed by HEAD will *not* be the last change done on your branch, but the last change done on trunk (which is irrelevant for your checkout)

See this example:

1. Check out webkitgtk-2.28.0 svn branch
$ svn co http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.28.0 build
# .... lot of files
Checked out revision 266187.

2. Check what svn info says:
$ cd build
$ svn info
Path: .
Working Copy Root Path: /tmp/build
URL: http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.28.0
Relative URL: ^/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.28.0
Repository Root: http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit
Repository UUID: 268f45cc-cd09-0410-ab3c-d52691b4dbfc
Revision: 266187
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: [e-mail]
Last Changed Rev: 258193
Last Changed Date: 2020-03-10 12:10:24 +0100 (Tue, 10 Mar 2020)



So, the last change done on that branch was in reality r258193 (2020-03-10), but svn is saying that my working copy is r266187 (basically trunk of today)


This causes the tool glib-revision to print the wrong revision, which then is passed to the build and the version stamped for the build is incorrect.

$ Tools/glib/svn-revision 
r266187


I think we should pick the "Last Changed Rev" changeset instead of the "Revision" changeset from svn info.

(To be clear, this is not a request to add tests, simply a comment on how we've organized this part of webkitpy)

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

Yes, i also wished to had some tests. I did manual tests as much as possible and it seems to work as expected.
Thanks for the review ! :)
