Hello,

For our deployment purposes using Ansible and SVN we would need to test (check mode, dry-run) before run the deployment playbook. If there is some missing file in the destination it will pass the check-mode but not the definitive one.

I looked at the code and I think it will do the job to add in current line 286:

if module.check\_mode or not update:

> if (svn.has\_local\_mods() && !force)  
> module.fail\_json(msg=“ERROR: modified files exist in the repository.”)  
> check, before, after = svn.needs\_update()  
> module.exit\_json(changed=check, before=before, after=after)

I am far from an expert on this, so I prefer to post it here so maybe someone can help and implement it! 🙂

Thanks and regards,

Victor.
