[jira] Created: (CONTINUUM-2276) command line for svn.exe should provide full path

command line for svn.exe should provide full path
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CONTINUUM-2276
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2276
             Project: Continuum
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SCM
    Affects Versions: 1.2.3
         Environment: windows
            Reporter: Dominique Jean-Prost


Hello

I met a problem which could be easily prevented.
On windows, you can have a registry entry "Autorun" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor. In my case, I had the following as a value :
"cd /d c:\bin". It adds the following behaviour : each time you execute cmd.exe, it calls the cd /d c:\bin.

As continuum uses on windows cmd.exe /X "svn blabla", in my case the checkout wasn't made in the correct directory, preventing me to have my build.
If the full paths was given to svn.exe, even in such a weird environment like mine, I wouldn't have met the problem.

Wendy Smoak updated CONTINUUM-2276:
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.x

Perhaps we could make svn one of the tools configurable in the Installations section, so you can configure a path to it and have that as part of your build environment.

Otherwise, Continuum just depends on the environment in which it is running.  I'm not sure how it would know the full path to svn in that case.
