SVN API to find if dir is versioned or not

Question

I am committing the files to SVN using the API available in SVNKit.

ourClientManager.getCommitClient().doCommit(mypaths, kpLocks, "", force-yes, recursive-true);

I want to find out if the directory of the file, is part of working copy or not, before checking in the file. Can you please suggest what API i can use to get this information.

You want to use status to figure this out:

ourClientManager.getStatusClient().doStatus(path, false).isVersioned()

If you want to figure out if more than one file is versioned you'll probably want to write an ISVNStatusHandler.

Link to the SVNKit Documentation: http://svnkit.com/javadoc/org/tmatesoft/svn/core/wc/SVNStatusClient.html

I tried to use this info = ourClientManager.getStatusClient().doStatus(file, false); -- but this line gives SVN Exception -- file not working copy -- file here is the new package.. – Krishnaveni Mar 23 '13 at 10:05
That means the file isn't in a working copy. If you want to check if arbitrary files are versioned and in a working copy you probably just watch to catch that exception. The other possibility is that the working copy is not compatible with the libraries you're using, however I believe SVNKit will deal with 1.6 and 1.7 working copy formats, so that's probably not the problem here. – Ben Reser Mar 23 '13 at 19:30

As SVNKit developer I would recommend you to use SVNWCUtil#isVersionedDirectory or SvnOperationFactory#isVersionedDirectory.

SvnOperationFactory#isVersionedDirectory can accept "isAdditionMode" parameter that is used to distinguish a very special case: in your working copy you have a unversioned symlink that points to a nested working copy. For all operations except "svn add" this symlink should be considered as versioned, because it points to a working copy (in particular "svn info this_symlink" shows info for that nested working copy), but for "svn add" is should be considered as unversioned to let the user add it to the repository as a file with svn:special property (instead of showing an error that the working copy is already versioned).

Hi you can use following method to get the list of modified and unversioned files

public List<SVNStatus> getCommitableFiles(File path, String revision) throws SVNException {
    SVNClientManager svnClientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance();
    final List<SVNStatus> allSVNStatus = new ArrayList<SVNStatus>();
    svnClientManager.getStatusClient().doStatus(path, SVNRevision.parse(revision), SVNDepth.INFINITY, false, false, false, false, new ISVNStatusHandler() {
        public void handleStatus(SVNStatus status) throws SVNException {
            SVNStatusType statusType = status.getContentsStatus();
            if (statusType != SVNStatusType.STATUS_NONE && statusType != SVNStatusType.STATUS_NORMAL
                    && statusType != SVNStatusType.STATUS_IGNORED) {
                allSVNStatus.add(status);
            }
        }
    }, null);

    return allSVNStatus;
}
