Hi

My current Subversion workspace is set to 1.7 but when I attempt to call a Sonar analysis job I get...

E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command
svn: E155036: The working copy at 'E:\Jenkins\jobs\AlertEZ - Processor - Analyze\workspace'
is too old (format 29) to work with client version '1.8.9 (r1591380)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first.

So to resolve this, I upgraded my Subversion plugin to 2.5 and set my Jenkins Subversion workspace to 1.8.

This worked a treat but now I am faced with the problem that I can no longer tag using Jenkins. When I attempt to tag a Subversion repository, Jenkins displays the following error...

ERROR: Publisher hudson.plugins.svn_tag.SvnTagPublisher aborted due to exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.getRevisionFile(Lhudson/model/AbstractBuild;)Ljava/io/File;

I did try changing my workspace back to version 1.7 but that still displayed the error when tagging the code.

Note, my Subversion server is on 1.6 but I do not see this as an issue as my 1.8 Tortoise SVN client is backwards compatible with the 1.6 server so I would assume another tool (Subversion plugin in this case) would have no issue either.

A rollback to version 2.4.5 of the Subversion Plugin resolved the issue but as that version does not support a 1.8 workspace, the Sonar Jenkins job then fails.

It may be of help if I point out what looks like a similar issue the Subversion Tag plugin has temporarily patched until the Subversion Plugin issue is resolved...
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-26217
I am not using the Subversion Tag plugin so this is of no help to me at present.

Thanks
