svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

Question

trying to configure the svn with jenkins and getting the below error.

Unable to access file://localhost/D:\repositories : svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file://localhost/D:%5Crepositories'

I can access it of Jenkins.

I tried it also with the svn and http protocols, the i get this error:

svn: E210003: Unknown host

and also with given credentials, but none of them worked.

Below is the stack trace shown in the Jenkins:

Answer 1

Check the URL. You're using file://localhost/D:\repositories, but that's an invalid URL and that's why you can not connect to it!

You have to use only forward slashes, not backslashes in an URL. Also, the file protocol requires three slashes:

file:///localhost/D:/repositories

would be the correct URL.
