SVN commit error after local file deletion

Question

I have a project that I am creating with Netbeans 6.1 and I am using SVN. I deleted some files on the local computer and then tried to commit my changes to the SVN repository. Error commit with error message

The entry for 'C: \ path \ to \ project \ myfile' does not have a URL

Where myfile is the remote file.

Is there a way to tell SVN that the file was deleted from the project and that it should be deleted from the repository?

Answer 1

Updating svn will return the file by fixing the local repo.

Then you can execute "svn delete" on the file, which tells the local repo that the file should be deleted, and also deletes it from the file system.

Then you can commit the changes to the repo.

Answer 2

If you send a folder with a deleted file to it, and suppose that you are using the latest versions of Tortoise SVN (the SVN GUI client), it will recognize the specific file as missing and try to delete the SVN from the repository.

Answer 3

I had the same problem, and the reason is that I deleted the externaly file. If you delete it using NetBeans, complete the transaction in order.

Answer 4

Removing the project locally, rechecking from SVN and committing the changes fixed it for me. Before deleting a project, be sure to back up your changes.
