http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31840 NPE using XmlLogger and antlib Summary: NPE using XmlLogger and antlib Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I put down the problem to a simple procedure to reproduce: I have sample.xml and antlib.xml, I just define the antlib in sample.xml and when I try to run it with the XmlLogger I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/w/MAIN/local/modules/boot.launcher> ant -f sample.xml -logger org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger Buildfile: sample.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="log.xsl"?> <build time="0 seconds" error="/w/MAIN/local/modules/boot.launcher/sample.xml:5: srcdir attribute must be set!"> <task name="java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.tools.ant.util.DOMElementWriter.encode(DOMElementWriter.java:174) at org.apache.tools.ant.util.DOMElementWriter.write(DOMElementWriter.java:95) at org.apache.tools.ant.util.DOMElementWriter.write(DOMElementWriter.java:113) at org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger.buildFinished(XmlLogger.java:189) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.fireBuildFinished(Project.java:1796) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:693) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.startAnt(Main.java:188) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:196) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:55) this happens because the antlib taskname is null, I debugged it and found that the taskname attribute of the antlib is never defined. and when the logger receives the taskStarted for the antlib, it stores a null for the value, and that breaks the XmlLogger. I really need this to be able to use CruiseControl with our ant project, since it uses it extensively as I understand. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
