Articy Forum

Hello,

I recently took a look at Articy and I wanted to try out the SVN function that you provide, but I have some problems to set up the repo.
I made a repo (on a linux server) using: svnadmin create xi4_articy. So my path in the browser is http://myserv.de/svn/xi4_articy

What do I put into the field given in Articy? It requires the URL having a second folder as given above, but I do not have anything to put in the second textbox since there is no more subfolder in that path.

Gruß Kia

Hi Xi4,

good find, we didn't encounter that, because we were used to the widely used repository layout but of course nothing forces you to do that.
I will check if we can change that currently mandatory field and make it optional.

Best regards

Nico

Hi Xi4,

The URL you have written is denotes the root path of the repository itself. Because it is extremely uncommon, to have a complete repository for a single project and there don't exist other folders (e.g for branches or other types of assets for a project) we do not allow to use the root of the repository for project storage. Without that articy:draft would checkout the whole repository regardless if the files belong to the project or not.

Just enter a folder path like /articyproject. This folder will be created and used for checkout & update operations.

You can find further information in the help center here

Best regards,
Peter

So, I should do something like:

http://myserv.de/svn/xi4/ - Base Folder
http://myserv.de/svn/xi4/game - SVN Repo
http://myserv.de/svn/xi4/plan - SVN Repo

?

I'm not sure i understand what you mean by "SVN Repo" at that point. Remember that its totally fine to have multiple projects in just one repository, and its often easier to handle than multiple repositories, but it certainly isn't a requirement, just a personal preference, so what you suggested is possible, if you add another folder to each of the repositories containing the actual articy project.

So my advise would be to have

http://myserv.de/svn/repos/
As the repository, and then, via regular svn mkdir create subfolders for your different projects. So the checkout url would be something like
http://myserv.de/svn/repos/myGame


And for articy you would put into the first box simply http://myserv.de/svn/repos
and in the second one /myGame

Hope that helps

Best regards

Nico
