http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30569 basedir is not set correctly when calling subant task through ant task Summary: basedir is not set correctly when calling subant task through ant task Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: Sun OS/Version: Solaris Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - invoke the <ant> task from within an ant script, calling some other ant script that in turn invokes <subant> - <subant> will in turn successfully call into its target ant script, but the basedir will be set incorrectly - so in this final ant script, any attempts to access files with relative paths will fail Example: We have files: /opt/workspace/file_a.xml /opt/workspace/file_b.xml /opt/workspace/subdir/file_c.xml /opt/workspace/subdir/file_d.xml file_a.xml says: <target name="run"> <ant antfile="file_b.xml" dir="/opt/workspace" target="run" inheritAll="false" /> </target> file_b.xml says: <target name="run"> <subant antfile="file_c.xml" inheritall="false" target="run"> <buildpathelement location="subdir"/> </subant> </target> file_c.xml says: <target name="run"> <copy file="./file_d.xml" todir="./" /> </target> ---- If you run this, there will be a failure to find file_d.xml, with the complaint: "/opt/workspace/subdir/file_d.xml not found" I have tried to overcome this with various permutations toggling "inheritall" on and off and trying to force values on "basedir", but in the end, it is a fundamental problem that "basedir" simply is set incorrectly by ant and cannot be overridden successfully. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
