Check if SVN checkout with SVNANT was successful or failed

Question

I am not able to use something similar to resultproperty="checkout.res" while checkout from SVNANT, which can used in "exec".

Below is the snippet of my ant build file.

<target name="SVNCheckout">
  <svn username="${svn.username}" password="${svn.password}" failonerror="true" resultproperty="checkout.res" >
    <checkout url="${svn.base.url}/myproject" revision="HEAD" destPath="../../../../stubswds" />
  </svn>
</target>

Getting error as below :

Buildfile: /home/Workspace/Checkout/src/main/resources/buildandcheckout.xml
SVNCheckout:

BUILD FAILED
/home/Workspace/Checkout/src/main/resources/buildandcheckout.xml:113: svn doesn't support the "resultproperty" attribute

You can use the status task in svnAnt to assign the property name for the appropriate type. In your case, going on scant information, I'd imagine the line might be:

<status 
    path="foo"
    textStatusProperty="checkout.res"/>

From the page, I'd check for a value of incomplete if the svnant call didn't finish appropriately.
