    Hello,
    an invalid repository URL given to
    svn.checkout
    function leads to an exception.
    How can this be handeled?
    Is there a possibility to check the validity of the URL before call the interface function?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    D. Baur

    Hi,

    we use the commandline option from TortoiseSVN with the subprocess module to check the path:

    def svn_check_path(URL):
   command = 'CD C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin' # the shell command
   process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=None, shell=True)
   process.communicate()
   
   command = "svn ls " + URL 
   process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
   #Launch the shell command:
   output = process.communicate()
   log = output[1].decode("cp1252");
   #Split the logs 
   infos = log.splitlines();
   path_missing = False;
   for logs in infos:
      if 'warning' in logs or 'E200009' in logs:
         path_missing = True
   return(path_missing)
