checking the return code using python (MAC)
- by cyberbemon
I have written a script that checks if an SVN Repo is up and running, the result is based on the return value.
import subprocess
url = " validurl"
def check_svn_status():
subprocess.call(['svn info'+url],shell=True)
def get_status():
subprocess.call('echo $?',shell=True)
def main():
check_svn_status()
get_status()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
The problem I'm facing is that if I change the url to something that does't exist I still get the return value as 0, but if I were to run this outside the script, i.e go to the terminal type svn info wrong url and then do a echo $? I get a return value of 1. But I can't re-create this in the python. Any guidelines ?
