Contributing to development

[prekolna]

Hi all,

Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but I'm hoping to contribute to my first open source project, so I'm a n00b and all that.

I've been trying to follow this wiki to contribute to the studio project, but I'm getting an authorization denied error, both while attempting to check out the source code (from http://anonsvn:anonsvn@code.jaspersoft.com/svn/repos/jaspersoftstudio and from http://anonsvn:anonsvn@code.jaspersoft.com/svn/repos/jasperreportseclipseplugin), as well as when I try to import the team psf (jss_teamprojectset.psf).  Here's the full text of the error:

The following errors occurred while importing projects. Some projects may not be loaded.

  org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Authorization failed

svn: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://code.jaspersoft.com/svn/repos/jaspersoftstudio/trunk/com.jaspersoft.studio'

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://code.jaspersoft.com/svn/repos/jaspersoftstudio/trunk/com.jaspersoft.studio': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://code.jaspersoft.com)

 

  org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Authorization failed

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://code.jaspersoft.com/svn/repos/jaspersoftstudio/trunk/com.jaspersoft.studio': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://code.jaspersoft.com)

 

(this is from attempting to import the team psf file; the error from Tortise SVN when I attempt to check out the source is similar, if not identical)

 

I've been trying to use my community credentials, but it seems they are not the correct credentials.  Am I barking up the wrong tree altogether?

Hi,
how did you configured your Eclipse?
You should be able to checkout code using Subclipse entering the URL without anonsvn credentials.
A dialog should popup asking the credentials.
Both anonsvn/anonsvn and anonymous/anonymous should be good as username/password.
Anyhow you can also use Tortoise SVN or any other external client if you prefer, and later import the project from Eclipse Import wizard.

You can't commit, a specific account is required for that purpose, the community one will not work.

Best regards,
Massimo.

Massimo --

Thanks! I was successful using both TortiseSVN and Subclipse (I disposed of the Tortise version once I got it working Subclipse).

 

About this specific account required for commits -- is there some equivalent of a Git pull request if I want to contribute a bug fix? Or do I just attach a proposed fix as a file/comment directly in the Tracker?

 

-D

Hi,

the accounts are only for official committers.

You can contribute to the project by sending us patches (Team -> Create patch from Eclipse).

We will then decide to apply it or not.

 

You can of course attach the proposed solution to an existing bug in the Tracker. Or create a new one (i.e: feature request, new issue, etc.) if needed.

I hope this clarify a bit ;-)

 

Best regards,

Massimo.
