Chef Recipe to do a SVN Checkout

I am trying to run a chef recipe that will install SVN on an Ubuntu client and then checkout a SVN subversion repository to the client machine. The following is the code:

#Installing svn
package "subversion" do
action :install
end

#Checkout SVN repo
bash "Checking out Antitheft Repository" do
cwd "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}"
code <<-EOH
svn co --username 'userxxx' --password 'passxxx' 'http://example.com/svn/trunk/yyy'
EOH
end

The command

svn co --username 'userxxx' --password 'passxxx' 'http://example.com/svn/trunk/yyy'

works perfectly well when run on a terminal on the client, but when the same command is executed through the recipe no errors are displayed nor is the checkout done.

What is wrong here?

Just use the built-in scm resource:

package "subversion"

subversion "Antitheft" do
  repository "http://example.com/svn/trunk/yyy"
  destination "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/antitheft"
  svn_username "userxxx"
  svn_password "passxxx"
end
