Does anybody know a way to recursively remove all files in a working copy that are not under version control? (I need this to get more reliable results in my automatic build VMware.)

this works for me in bash:
svn status | egrep '^\?' | cut -c8- | xargs rm
Seth Reno's is better:
svn status | grep ^\? | cut -c9- | xargs -d \\n rm -r
It handles unversioned folders and spaces in filenames
As per comments below, this only works on files that subversion doesn't know about (status=?). Anything that subversion does know about (including Ignored files/folders) will not be deleted.
If you are using subversion 1.9 or greater you can simply use the svn cleanup command with --remove-unversioned and --remove-ignored options
I ran across this page while looking to do the same thing, though not for an automated build.
After a bit more looking I discovered the 'Extended Context Menu' in TortoiseSVN. Hold down the shift key and right click on the working copy. There are now additional options under the TortoiseSVN menu including 'Delete unversioned items...'.
Though perhaps not applicable for this specific question (i.e. within the context of an automated build), I thought it might be helpful for others looking to do the same thing.
Edit:
Subversion 1.9.0 introduced an option to do this:
svn cleanup --remove-unversioned
Before that, I use this python script to do that:
import os
import re
def removeall(path):
if not os.path.isdir(path):
os.remove(path)
return
files=os.listdir(path)
for x in files:
fullpath=os.path.join(path, x)
if os.path.isfile(fullpath):
os.remove(fullpath)
elif os.path.isdir(fullpath):
removeall(fullpath)
os.rmdir(path)
unversionedRex = re.compile('^ ?[\?ID] *[1-9 ]*[a-zA-Z]* +(.*)')
for l in os.popen('svn status --no-ignore -v').readlines():
match = unversionedRex.match(l)
if match: removeall(match.group(1))
It seems to do the job pretty well.
Subversion 1.9.0 introduced option to remove unversioned items [1]
svn cleanup --remove-unversioned
[1] https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html#svn-cleanup-options
My C# conversion of Thomas Watnedals Python script:
Console.WriteLine("SVN cleaning directory {0}", directory);
Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(directory);
var psi = new ProcessStartInfo("svn.exe", "status --non-interactive");
psi.UseShellExecute = false;
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
psi.WorkingDirectory = directory;
using (var process = Process.Start(psi))
{
string line = process.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
while (line != null)
{
if (line.Length > 7)
{
if (line[0] == '?')
{
string relativePath = line.Substring(7);
Console.WriteLine(relativePath);
string path = Path.Combine(directory, relativePath);
if (Directory.Exists(path))
{
Directory.Delete(path, true);
}
else if (File.Exists(path))
{
File.Delete(path);
}
}
}
line = process.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
}
}
I couldn't get any of the above to work without additional dependencies I didn't want to have to add to my automated build system on win32. So I put together the following Ant commands - note these require the Ant-contrib JAR to be installed in (I was using version 1.0b3, the latest, with Ant 1.7.0).
Note this deletes all unversioned files without warning.
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
<taskdef name="for" classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.ForTask" />
<macrodef name="svnExecToProperty">
<attribute name="params" />
<attribute name="outputProperty" />
<sequential>
<echo message="Executing Subversion command:" />
<echo message=" svn @{params}" />
<exec executable="cmd.exe" failonerror="true"
outputproperty="@{outputProperty}">
<arg line="/c svn @{params}" />
</exec>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<!-- Deletes all unversioned files without warning from the
basedir and all subfolders -->
<target name="!deleteAllUnversionedFiles">
<svnExecToProperty params="status "${basedir}""
outputProperty="status" />
<echo message="Deleting any unversioned files:" />
<for list="${status}" param="p" delimiter="
" trim="true">
<sequential>
<if>
<matches pattern="\?\s+.*" string="@{p}" />
<then>
<propertyregex property="f" override="true" input="@{p}"
regexp="\?\s+(.*)" select="\1" />
<delete file="${f}" failonerror="true" />
</then>
</if>
</sequential>
</for>
<echo message="Done." />
</target>
For a different folder, change the ${basedir} reference.
svn status --no-ignore | awk '/^[I\?]/ {system("echo rm -r " $2)}'
remove the echo if that's sure what you want to do.
Might as well contribute another option
svn status | awk '{if($2 !~ /(config|\.ini)/ && !system("test -e \"" $2 "\"")) {print $2; system("rm -Rf \"" $2 "\"");}}'
The /(config|.ini)/ is for my own purposes.
And might be a good idea to add --no-ignore to the svn command
@zhoufei I tested your answer and here is updated version:
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims= " %%G IN ('svn st %~1 ^| findstr "^?"') DO del /s /f /q "%%H"
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims= " %%G IN ('svn st %~1 ^| findstr "^?"') DO rd /s /q "%%H"
- You must use two
%marks in front of G and H - Switch the order: first remove all files, then remove all directories
- (optional:) In place of
%~1can be used any directory name, I used this as a function in a bat file, so%~1is first input paramter
For the people that like to do this with perl instead of python, Unix shell, java, etc. Hereby a small perl script that does the jib as well.
Note: This also removes all unversioned directories
#!perl
use strict;
sub main()
{
my @unversioned_list = `svn status`;
foreach my $line (@unversioned_list)
{
chomp($line);
#print "STAT: $line\n";
if ($line =~/^\?\s*(.*)$/)
{
#print "Must remove $1\n";
unlink($1);
rmdir($1);
}
}
}
main();
I also found and used the following: svn status --no-ignore| awk '/^?/ {print $2}'| xargs rm
