repeatedly being asked for username and password

What platform are you on?

What version of subvertpy are you using?

If you use svn, do you also do write operations, such as commits ?

Hi Jelmer,
   Thank you for the quick response.

I'm not sure. How can I find this out? I use the SVN binaries, and I assume
they install any dependencies I might need.

Yes. I performed some commits through the svn command line earlier without
being prompted for the username and password.

subvertpy is an independent package which uses the svn libraries and is
used by bzr-svn. Not being familiar with Mac OS X I'm not sure what the
best way is to find out what version you have. How did you install
bzr-svn?

Can you check if your version of subvertpy has keychain support? In a
python shell, try:

from subvertpy._ra import get_keychain_simple_provider

I assumed that means it's not installed.

I tried downloading it from here:

In that case you would already have subvertpy installed some other way. bzr-svn depends on subvertpy and will error out if it is not installed.

It seems like it is not installed completely. Are you invoking the same
python interpreter that's being used for bzr?

Jelmer

>>In that case you would already have subvertpy installed some other way.
bzr-svn depends on subvertpy and will error out if it is not installed.

Ah Ok. It still works, just requires the username and password.

You were correct.

When I run python --version from the command line I get:
[502] python --version
Python 2.5.4

But BZR reports that I'm using python 2.6.1:
[501] bzr --version
Bazaar (bzr) 2.0.0
  Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python2.6 2.6.1
  Python standard library:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6

I've fixed the issue and installed subvertpy using the setup script.

However, I still have the same issue, in that it asks for the username and
password whenever I push.

Thanks,
Eric

Do you have the keychain function? What version of subvertpy?

If I use the command you sent earlier, I don't get an error, and the version
of subvertpy I downloaded was 0.6.8. Is this the correct version?

0.6.8 should be sufficient.

And are you sure that's the version that's being used by bzr-svn ?

Did you upgrade just bzr/bzr-svn this morning or subversion and/or
subvertpy as well?

Cheers,

Jelmer

Hi Jelmer,

Thanks for all the help.

I've upgraded all 3 at this point.

This morning I updated bzr and bzr-svn.

Then upgraded subvertpy during the course of this thread.

Hi Jelmer,
   I'm now seeing issues logging in just using SVN. It doesn't seem to
happen on all repositories, but it's exactly the same thing I'm seeing using
bzr-svn.

I'm thinking this is not a bzr-svn issue now.

Please close it out.

Thanks for all the help.
Eric

Hi Jelmer,
    After re-installing the SVN 1.6.5 binary, my issues with credentials was
resolved through SVN. However, the issue with BZR still persists.

One thing I noticed was that in the KeyChain tool SVN is listed as always
being allows to access it. However, BZR is not there.

Should it be?

Thanks,
Eric

Do you have the bzr keychain plugin loaded ?

Afaik it's included with the bzr installer for Mac OS X

Yes. If I do bzr plugins it appears. Version 0.1.0.

keychain 0.1.0
    Use the Mac OS X keychain as a credential store for authentication.conf.

Where do you have to enter your password exactly? Do you get a keychain popup or something like that?

I enter it in the terminal. I never get a keychain popup when using bzr.

The keychain plugin probably isn't looking in the same location in the keychain as Subversion stores the credentials. It would be nice if it could.

Even if the credentials aren't shared with SVN's keychain items, it would be a big improvement to save the credentials at all. This bug makes accessing protected repositories over HTTP(S) really difficult, as credentials aren't even saved in memory during a single bzr operation.

Hi Andrew, It's not exactly what you are looking for, but you can save your credentials in the ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf

I've found this works for most of my svn repositories over https. It won't ask you to enter your credentials again.

Eg:
[site]
scheme = https
host = your.host.com
user = username
password = password

Thanks Eric for the tip. Unfortunately, I never got to test it fully. If you leave scheme as https, bzr assumes it's a bzr, and not an svn repository. So, I tried setting scheme to svn+https... and I got a Keychain authorization prompt! Using svn+https caused bzr to use my existing credentials from SVN, which was exactly what I wanted. It looks like the bug is only triggered when the remote repository detection code is called.
