Svn commit from bash script without opening editor

I am trying to write a bash script that should commit to an svn repository. Everything works fine until the moment I try to commit. The commit command opens the editor and the script ends up with an error in which the commit message remained atsvn-commit.tmp

I try a couple of things, but none will work

commit_msg="$1"
svn commit -m "$commit_msg"

and

commit_msg="$1"
svn commit -m '$commit_msg'

and

commit_msg=$1
svn commit -m '$commit_msg'

and all with operators -q

and --non-interactive

. Even svn commit -m "woohoo"

opens the editor and the script ends up with an error.

Any ideas as to why it is not possible to commit to a bash script without opening an editor?

You must use the --non-interactive option on the svn command:



svn commit --non-interactive -m '$commit_msg'

After I tried it svn ci

instead svn commit

, everything was fine. My first thought was svn version bug. After asking "Great Dump" (aka Google) I found the solution :: My .bash_profile had a snippt of code that made the svn commit

editor always open and svn ci

worked as expected.

I don't know exactly where the code snippet came from, but Windows users have to struggle with mysterious behavior.



Thanks everyone for your help.
