Subject: Possible Bug with "--non-interactive" mode on OS X Leopard

Hello All,

I'm in need of some help in confirming a bug. I encountered a problem today while trying to use svn on a new MacBook Pro running OS X Leopard.

It appears the "--non-interactive" parameter causes "authorization failed" errors when attempting to run svn commands against our repository even when the auth information is already cached.

When I run any of the svn commands without the "--non-interactive" parameter, they work fine with no prompting, etc... My username/password/server_key are already cached...

My understanding of the "--non-interactive" parameter is that it should only fail out IF prompting is necessary. In my case, it's not, but the failure still occurs.

Below is a command sequence to reproduce the issue, along with information about the Subversion and OS X versions I'm running. I should point out that we have been running these commands successfully on Windows XP Pro for quite some time with no issues... Therefore I believe the issue is most likely specific to this newer OS...

This is somewhat of a blocking issue for myself and the rest of our development team as we are migrating to MacBook Pro's for mobility etc, and we use Maven 2 for our application builds and deployments. The SVN SCM Provider used by the Maven release plugin uses the "--non-interactive" parameter whenever it executes svn commands.

Any info or help you all could provide would be great.

Thanks very much for your time...

-Garrett

Example Command Sequence:

First execute this command in some directory (i.e. temp1)

svn checkout https://host/svn/MyProject some_dir

It should complete successfully with no user/password/key prompting at all. Then execute this command in another directory (temp2):

svn --non-interactive checkout https://host/svn/MyProject some_dir

This will fail complaining that "authorization failed". Remove the "--non-interactive" parameter and re-run the command. It will succeed as before with no prompting.
