http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30199 add failonerror option to zip|tar|jar tasks (to ignore non-existent directories) Summary: add failonerror option to zip|tar|jar tasks (to ignore non-existent directories) Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am creating a build_common imported from a lot of components whose sources are stored in individual directories. Each component can have one of more of A, B, and C types of sources, stored in src/A, src/B and src/C in a component directory. When I try to package the sources using tar, I am trying a recipe like this: <target name="package.component"> <tar destfile="${package.base}/${package.name}" compression="gzip"> <tarfileset dir="${src.dir}/A" prefix="P1"> <include name="**/*" if="component.has.A" /> </tarfileset> <tarfileset dir="${src.dir}/B" prefix="P2"> <include name="**/*" if="component.has.B" /> </tarfileset> <tarfileset dir="${src.dir}/C" prefix="P3"> <include name="**/*" if="component.has.C" /> </tarfileset> </tar> </target> Now, this works for components that have src/A, src/B and src/C, but fails for component that miss any of them, because the tarfileset refers to a missing directory. I could change it to <tarfileset dir="${src.dir}" prefix="P2"> <include name="B/**/*" if="component.has.B" /> </tarfileset> but then there is no way to get rid of B since the tarfileset does not accept a mapper. I have worked around the problem by wrapping each copy task in it's own target that is guarded by a condition, but this is ugly... The easiest fix would be if the tar task would simply ignore the filesets with missing directories - something like copy has with "failonerror". --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
