Background:

We use NAnt as our building tool.

Question:

How can I tell Hudson to build a specific revision in SVN, instead of the latest one by default?

Thanks.

You configure the svn location including the revision number

<SVN_URL>@revision

Instead of putting the revision number hard coded in there you can use a parameter for the hudson job

<SVN_URL>@$param

Does this feature require a specific SVN version above? I got this error message: '/branches/xxx/website@4518' doesn't exist in the repository. Maybe you meant '/branches/xxx/website'? – Ricky Feb 25 '10 at 03:09
Even so you will get the error message described above when configuring the job, it will checkout the right revision of your code. – Peter Schuetze Feb 25 '10 at 13:35

Where do you define `param`? – David Harkness Mar 04 '16 at 17:38
That is the name of a build parameter for that job. – Peter Schuetze Mar 04 '16 at 20:33

(Lacking rep to comment, so I answer instead)

Peter answer's works well !

The syntax wasn't very clear to me. The solution was... reading Jenkins contextual help !

The final syntax I used for my repo URL was this one: http://mySVNdomain.com/svn/myREPOname/trunk@414 where 414 was, of course, the revision I needed.

Don't miss the possibility of using @$param if you need something dynamic

Tag the revision, give Hudson the tag url

Using a tag didn't work for me with Hudson v1.355. I tried tagging a rev and using xxx/tags/rev instead of xxx/trunk in the "Repository URL" setting. I also tried the @rrr suffix against the trunk -- this started checking out the trunk as well as ALL the tags and branches (before I killed it). – MykennaC Mar 28 '13 at 15:52

This is a plugin for Hudson that works really well. It displays a list of revisions and allows you to select one to build.
