Subversion plugin not doing variable substitution for ${path} in "Changeset Format" URL

[Ryan Courtnage]

We've installed an configured the subversion plugin. SVN commits are being properly linked to JIRA issues. However, when looking at an issue, on the subversion tab, clicking the revision number will go to a URL like:

https://xxxx.browse.cvsdude.com/cgi-bin/siteplan$%7bpath%7d?revision=14047&pathrev=14047&view=rev

Note the $%7bpath%7d in the URL instead of the path. This results in a 404 from the ViewVC server.

The link to the file diff, however, does translate ${path} properly.

After working with Atlassian support on this issue, I discovered two relevant items.

1. They provided substitution patterns that caused ${path} substitution to start working.
2. Once path substitution was working, I discovered through trial and error that our viewvc configuration didn't like the "root" URL parameter. I removed that parameter and included the root as an explicit portion of the pattern.

Here are the patterns that worked for me:

Changeset Format: http://subversion.xxxx.local:81/viewvc/SS01?revision=${rev}&pathrev=${rev}&view=rev
File Added Format: http://subversion.xxxx.local:81/viewvc/SS01${path}?pathrev=${rev}
File Modified Format: http://subversion.xxxx.local:81/viewvc/SS01${path}?pathrev=${rev}&view=diff&r1=${rev}&r2=${rev-1}&diff_format=h
File Replaced Format: http://subversion.xxxx.local:81/viewvc/SS01${path}/?revision=${rev}&view=markup
File Deleted Format: http://subversion.xxxx.local:81/viewvc/SS01${path}?pathrev=${rev-1}</span<>>

But now you aren't using $path in your Changeset Format

I went back and forth with Atlassian on this for 15 days. They could would not acknowlege that there is a problem. Even though I'd clearly demonstrate that the problem is due to the plugin not doing a pattern/var substituion, I'd get back strange responses like "oh, it's probably an issue with you proxy server" or "it's probably a UTF-8 issue". Very frustrating, I eventually gave up.

If you want to try, feel free to reference case JSP-147757, as it details the problem very clearly.

I'm having the same problem.
