Piston + OSX Fail / Fix
Posted on July 11th, 2009 No commentsWe recently moved all of our external plugins to Piston, which at first seemed great. There were times where the external plugin devs (in house) were keeping code on their machines because they didn’t want it to get deployed, which seemed wrong.
So I got everything imported happily, and then yesterday I tried to update one of the plugins, only to see “svn: can’t get password.”
Turns out there’s a bug/glitch/whatever for svn on OSX when using svn in non-interactive mode, where it won’t ask OSX’s Keychain for the credentials. A bug has been reported to both Subversion and Apple, but in the mean time, I forked Piston and just run svn without the non-interactive flag.
I don’t think it’s worthy of a pull request, because it’d be nicer if Apple or Subversion would get things fixed, but for now, you can gem install terrbear-piston if you need to use Piston on OSX.
