Get hudson to checkout source to a specific directory

This seems like a simple task but for the life of me I can't get Hudson to checkout my source to a specific directory. I can checkout the source using svn on the command line. I tried specifying the Local Module setting under source code management but no dice.

I set it to c:\source\trunk and I get this whe开发者_运维百科n i run the build.

When i try to set a relative path it says I can't use absolute directories. i.e \source\trunk

All i want to have happen is hudson checkout my source to c:\source\trunk

As sbi already said:

Paths like the SVN are relative to the Workspace root. At least that's what the help for "Local module directory" says on the Job configuration page.

When you start a path with '\' than it means that the path is absolute. You have two options.

1. Define a custom workspace for your job. This could be c:\source and the checkout of the source would be to trunk (or leave it empty if checking out your svn url ends with '/trunk'.
2. check it out to your standard workspace and then copy it to C:\source\trunk.

BTW, I would favor the second option, because I try to avoid the custom workspace at almost all costs.

The other workaround is to create MAster-Slave config in the same system on which Hudson is running. Create a slave on the same machine and point to the location where yu want yur projet to checkout in the Slave configuration
