Hello,

This error is most probably caused by permissions issue, it might be that
another process creates file with the same name but on behalf of the
different user.
You may check file ownership at /home/thusitha/.subversion/auth/svn.simple
by running the following command:

$ ls -la /home/thusitha/.subversion/auth/svn.simple

You may disable credentials caching when using SVNKit API (SVNClientManager
or SvnOperationFactory), but not when using JavaHL API (SVNClient).

Hi Alexander,

Thank you very much for the quick response.
But unfortunately I don't have more than a single user :(
I didn't get the last party. Did you mean that JavHL related
functionalities in svnkit will not work if I disable authentication
caching? or I shouldn't disable ot at all with svnkit?

Thanks
Thusitha

There is also this issue:

Not sure if it's related.

Hi Johan,

Thanks for pointing this out. This seems in open state. Is there any
workaround so I can get rid of this until it get permanently fix? :)
I can't reproduce the issue constantly. It happens intermittently :(

I don't know of a workaround, all you can do is make the file writable
again yourself I think.

I think SVNKit makes it read-only automatically when you change your
password (svnkit prompts for your new password, then caches it in the
svn.simple file, thereby making the file read-only).

I'm not using SVNKit myself anymore, but ran into this while using IntelliJ
IDEA: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-129175 (Subversion actions
very slow after password change). The problem became apparent when IDEA
offered the option to use a command line svn client for 1.7 and higher (so
we switched to native svn, which had difficulty with the read-only status
of the password cache).

Hello,
It seems you have no write permissions for that file. Is it by intention?

If you're using JavaHL API of SVNKit, the only way to make its auth cache read-only is to set

[auth]
store-auth-creds=false

in ~/.subversion/config file.

If you can choose, I would recommed you to have a look at classic SVNKit API based on SvnOperationFactory class. E.g. to update a working copy you can use this code

final SvnOperationFactory svnOperationFactory = new SvnOperationFactory();
try {
final SvnUpdate update = svnOperationFactory.createUpdate();
update.setSingleTarget(SvnTarget.fromFile(workingCopyDirectory));
update.run();
} finally {
svnOperationFactory.dispose();
}

but you can specify custom auth manager that won't store credentials:

final ISVNAuthenticationManager authenticationManager = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(null, null, (char[]) null, false /*store credentials*/);
svnOperationFactory.setAuthenticationManager(authenticationManager);

And in general this API is much much more flexible than JavaHL API.

svnkit.http.keepCredentials=false relates to HTTP protocol support only and has nothing common with credentials storing in cache.
