http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25181 SYMLINK task creates cyclic symlinks Summary: SYMLINK task creates cyclic symlinks Product: Ant Version: 1.6Beta Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <symlink link="${project.webapp}/skins/${project.skin}" resource="${project.home}/${project.skins-dir}/${project.skin}" failonerror="false"/> Works fine on first pass (i.e. when the link does not already exist), however on a second pass (i.e. when the link does exist) the result is a link inside the original directory. That is suppose that: ${project.webapp}/skins/${project.skin} = a/skins/b ${project.home}/${project.skins-dir}/${project.skin} = x/y/b The first pass gives: a/skins/b --> x/y/b but the second pass results in a second link in x/y/b as follows: b --> x/y/b ---------------- A workaround is available for those experienceing this problem: <symlink link="${project.webapp}/skins/${project.skin}" action="delete" failonerror="false"/> <symlink link="${project.webapp}/skins/${project.skin}" resource="${project.home}/${project.skins-dir}/${project.skin}" failonerror="false"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
