Summary0009120: CDash generates wrong diff URLs for ViewVC (at least on NITRC.org)
DescriptionUsing CDash 1.4.2 from svn, I am having trouble getting CDash to generate diff URLs for a ViewVC 1.0.0 server run at NITRC.org.

CDash generates a URL like

http://www.nitrc.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/?root=cmtk/?action=browse&path=/CHANGELOG&r1=34&r2=35 [^]

when ViewVC would like this:

http://www.nitrc.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/core/CHANGELOG?root=cmtk&r1=32&r2=35 [^]

There does not seem to be a way to configure CDash to provide the second form.

The dashboard for these examples is run at

https://neuro.sri.com/CDash/index.php?project=CMTK [^]

and is configured to use ViewVC with entry URL

www.nitrc.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/?root=cmtk

Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI also filed a bug with NITRC about this, but folks there feel it's not related to their configuration, but a CDash problem.

Could you try switching the CVS viewer from "ViewVC" to "ViewVC1.1" and see if that does the trick?

With ViewVC 1.1 I get this URL:

http://www.nitrc.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/?root=cmtk//CHANGELOG?r1=34&r2=35 [^]

which is missing the relative path of the file in the repo (trunk/core/).

Actually, this seems to be missing from the ViewVC non-1.1 URL as well, so maybe that's the real problem?

We might have to change CDash to support the URL. It seems that there is a lot of URLs possible for ViewVC. Can this wait until the next release? If not I'll try to send you a patch soon.

No rush here; thanks. I assume you're going to register the availability of the fixed version with this bug, so I should be notified, which is all I'd ask for.

Could you try with selecting "ViewCVS" as the repository browser in CDash? ViewVC is the new version of ViewCVS and looking at the generated URL, it seems that it might work. Let me know.

Ha, okay, this is interesting:

If I use "ViewCVS" AND set the ViewCVS URL to

www.nitrc.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/core/?root=cmtk

that is, if I include the missing "trunk/core/" part of the URL, THEN it sort of works (I am not getting an NITRC redirect page; looks like they don't allow deep links into the ViewVC).

So I guess the original is a combination of
- having to use ViewCVS even though system is running ViewVC, and
- root of the source tree not being root of the SVN repo, which is strange, 'cos I have had this setup before with no problems...

In previous note, sustitute "NOW getting NITRC redirect page" for "not getting..."

The ViewCVS v.s ViewVC is understandable (ViewVC is the new name for the ViewCVS). The source tree not being root of the SVN repository is another issue and is probably related to CTest somehow. If that works for you I'm going to mark this issue resolved, unless you think there is something else we can do. Thanks again for the report!
