Google Code Password

Google code provides a great integrated experience with Subversion repository. You can login into Google code with your GMail username. But be careful, you should use "GoogleCode.com Password" instead of the GMail password. Or you won't be able to authenticate and will get the following error:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn': authorization failed (https://projectname.googlecode.com)

Intellij Ruby Plugin Setup

I tried to install Intellij Ruby Plugin on Mac OS X Leopard. Following the instruction, the installation was fairly straight forward. Then I tried to add Ruby SDK into the plugin. I started with /usr/lib/ruby, /usr/bin/ruby, /usr/bin as home directory, and got "The directory selected is not a valid home for Ruby SDK". What?...My ruby installation does exist in this directory. Actually, Ruby SDK home path has to be /usr

Hope this will save you some time...

BTW: Intellij collapsed twice after I set up the ruby plugin. Not sure what's going on there.

SVNLabelIncrementer in CruiseControl

SVNLabelIncrementer in CruiseControl is supposed to get the latest revision number for the project, and use this revision number as part of the cruisecontrol build number.

Unfortunately, we always got the revision number from the last successful build as the new label. For example, if the local working copy has revision-10 before CruiseControl build, and the current SVN repository revision is 12. We will get 10 as the revision number even if we get revision 12 code in the build. It's kind of annoying, isn't it?

After some investigation, we found that the SVNLabelIncrementer class was using "svnversion" command to get the revision number. Let's look at the definition of "svnversion":

svnversion — Summarize the local revision(s) of a working copy.

Apparently, that's not what we want. We want the revision number of the remote repository.

In the end, we modified the code to use "svn info" to get the remote svn repository revision. I have attached the code here, hope this helps other folks.
