Case

IntelliJ IDEA 7.x, version control with Subversion.
When I try to update the project, I get the following error:

Error:svn: unknown host myHost svn: OPTIONS request failed on /myProject/trunk/

On another hand, I can update the project thanks to TortoiseSVN. Then, I conclude the server exists and allows updates.

Fix

Firstly I thought of an issue of proxy, hence check your settings if you face the problem. Else:

• Shutdown IDEA
• Delete ~/.IntelliJIdea70/system/caches
• Restart IDEA

On my current position, I had to update my project with Subversion every morning. It took half an hour every day ; some other guys prefered to update only once a week or twice a month… But they accepted to spend half a day for merges etc.
Yet, I found a way to make this update automatically, thanks to a planned task in Windows XP.

The command that is launched is
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:update /path:"C:\the\path\of\my\project" /notempfile /closeonend

Thanks to another planned task, I rebuild the complete project with Maven. And on breakfast I find my project up-to-date with all jars compiled and available.

Abstract: we would like to add the SVN-keyword $Id$ to all SQL files.

• go to SVN config folder (mainly $HOME/Subversion/config)
• search for line:

[auto-props]

• just below, add the following line:

 *.sql = svn:keywords=Id
