http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32977 Summary: Ant handles ".." in paths incorrectly Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The below build.xml: <project name="foo" basedir="C:/"> <property name="my.dir" location=".."/> <echo>${my.dir}</echo> </project> results in the following error: BUILD FAILED C:\build.xml:5: The file or path you specified (..) is invalid relative to C:\ I don't think this is correct. On Windows or Unix, ".." always works, even relative to a root dir, in which case it resolves to ".". For example, from Windows: C:\>cd .. C:\>cd ..\..\.. C:\> And the same goes for Java: File file = new File( "C:/", ".." ); System.out.println( file.getCanonicalPath() ); outputs: C:\ I think Ant should be consistent to Windows, Unix, and most importantly, Java in its behavior. -- 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]
