http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32815 Summary: Invalid Subant BuildException: "subant task calling a target that depends on its parent target" incorectly handles task scope Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Ant.java file throws a build exception with a message "subant task calling a target that depends on its parent target" that suggests cicular recursion. This occurrs even when circular recursion is not present, because the logic that triggers this check does not scope target names to the defining project. It fires when a task in a different project has the same name. Consider this 2 project example: Project ModuleA: target build compile target build-dependencies do-nothing Project ModuleB (depends on ModuleA): target build depends="build-dependencies" target build-dependencies subant ModuleA target="build" This case will trigger a complaint that ModuleB.build-dependencies depends on its parent (ModuleB.build), which is false; in fact it depends on ModuleA.build. The cause is plain to see in Ant.java - the logic is not handling project scopes, and treats targets as if they are guaranteed to be globally unique across super- and sub- projects. Eg use of task names rather than task objects across project boundaries (Ant.java; 1.6.2, line 368). This isnt going to yield a system that is robust in the face of sub-projects. if (other != null && other.dependsOn(owningTargetName)) { throw new BuildException(getTaskName() + " task calling a target" + " that depends on" + " its parent target \'" + owningTargetName + "\'."); -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
