Very basic newby problem?

[Andy Wickson]

Hi,

I am attempting the run the following ant script:



simple example build file







where common is a directory under the root directory (containing the 
build.xml file) that contains some java source files.

When I run the script with the debug option i get the following output:
-start 
clip
Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005
Buildfile: build.xml
Adding reference: ant.PropertyHelper
Detected Java version: 1.4 in: C:\Program Files\IBM\Java142\jre
Detected OS: Windows XP
Adding reference: ant.ComponentHelper

Setting ro project property: ant.file -> C:\testoutput\build.xml

Project base dir set to: C:\testoutput
+Target:
+Target: compile
Attempting to create object of type 
org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor
Adding reference: ant.executor
-end
clip

no attempt seems to compile the files and indeed no class files are created.

if i run the command javac common\*.java from the root directory it works 
ok.

I have the following env. variables set:
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\IBM\Java142
ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.6.5

I assume it must be something quite fundamental but the fact that i see 
javac run independently and Ant is invoked, I can't think what.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

Re: Very basic newby problem?

[Barry White]

When you invoke ant with no arguments, it looks for a file called 
build.xml in the working directory. So build.xml needs to come out of 
common and into the working directory. The relaitive paths that you have 
in the javac task are correct if the build file is up one level (working 
dir).


Try this and see how you get on,

Barry

When you are calling Ant, are you giving it a target to execute?  Since
your project tag does not have the 'default' attribute in it, Ant does
not know what target to execute.

Thanks for the input - it was due to the lack of a default target

Failing a "Successful" build

[Greg Akins]

I am developing some Eclipse Plugins.

Because of Eclipse Plugin architecture, the Ant files to build the project need
to be run from Eclipse's antRunner

So my Ant build file includes a  task to call Eclipse and launch 
antRunner.

Consequenty, if the core build.xml that antRunner is executing fails, I get a
"BUILD FAILED" message to the console.

However, the  task will have executed successfully and the wrapping ant
build will show "BUILD SUCCESS"

Anyone have some advice for capturing that failure (I'm running from
CruiseControl which is why I need to capture this in a "wrapping" build.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

, using trouble

[Aliaksandr Voitau]

|Hi.


 



   
   
   


While trying to invoke this target from java code i get the following error:

taskdef class my.pkg.Sample cannot be found,

although i set ${lib} from java code using setProperty(...) right before 
executing target "target-name".

However, if i'll just paste  content to :

||
   
*
   *|*|
   
|*|


or just put ${lib} to property file everything works fine, or even just 
nest  into .


So,  seems to resolve nested elements' properties only on the time 
of the first parsing by ProjectHelper's parse(...), but not on executing 
particular target, using that path, when previously undefined properties 
became available. Is it correct behaviour?

Couldn't find any explanation in available documentation.

What you want is possible using filesets, selectors, and the pathconvert
task.
Look at the Concepts and Types section of the manual.

What you want is roughly something like





 



myfileset is ${myfileset.asproperty}

moving directories

[Rizwan Merchant]

 

Hi,

I'm trying to move directories that have a certain pattern in their name to
another directory using the command below

 











 

So for example, I would like to move all directories (and all of their
contents) that have name of the pattern "UHM-*" to a backup directory. The
above command does move the directories over to the backup dir but not all
of the contents of the directories. It leaves behind the directories UHM-*
in the original directory and also creates the same in the backup directory.

 

Can anyone please tell me why the above command does not execute
successfully?

 

Thanks.

Read the examples of fileset in Apache Ant document and do the changes as

Including the file name in your script should work.

That looks like the correct behavior to me. This is analogous to properties, 
which are set once and cannot be changed again.

Hello Aliaksandr,

this sounds like bug 25777, which was fixed in Ant 1.6.3,
Which version of ant are you using ?

Scoped variables in macrodefs using entity includes.

[Davy Toch]

Just wanted to share our (temporary) solution we currently use to have 
scoped variables in macrodefs. Not ideal, but it currently works.


build.xml:



]>


 

 
   
   &uid;.test : ${&uid;.test}
   
 



macrodef.xml



]>


 
   
   
 
 &uid;.test : ${&uid;.test}

Re: , using trouble

[Aliaksandr Voitau]

It's a single build script.
Though it may behave like property does, it looks really confusing, that 
I assign undefined property "${lib}" to pathelement's location 
attribute, define it later, supposing that when it will be used, e.g. 
referenced by id, it'll be resolved. As a result, I see insted of required

lib_location/sample.jar
is
absolute_path_to_current_dir\{lib}\sample.jar


Thanks, Alex.

Hi,

I'm trying to move directories that have a certain pattern in their name to
another directory using the command below















So for example, I would like to move all directories (and all of their
contents) that have name of the pattern "UHM-*" to a backup directory. The
above command does move the directories over to the backup dir but not all
of the contents of the directories. It leaves behind the directories UHM-*
in the original directory and also creates the same in the backup directory.



Can anyone please tell me why the above command does not execute

Re: , using trouble

[Dominique Devienne]

The time at which ${lib} is resolved is not when you refid it, but
when you id it, i.e. when the control flow of Ant defines the 
the first time. This is when the 'lib' property must be defined in
order for your path to be valid.

Ensuring that a property is defined before its first use can be done
many different ways, but the two main ones are defining/loading the
property in the same context before (top-level or within a target), or
by having then in different targets with appropriate dependencies
between them. --DD

Re: Scoped variables in macrodefs using entity includes.

[Dominique Devienne]

I don't see how this really helps, I'm sorry ;-)

The problem is when you invoke *several times* a macrodef that uses
 internally. You would need to use a different prefix (that
what your entity is equivalent to) for the different runs of the same
macro to use different property names.

Which is why the 'canonical' work-around is to base the name of the
s used on some likely-to-be-unique param of the macro
itself, and do [EMAIL PROTECTED] to reference the 'internal' property.

One could also of course have the macro require an extra param to be
used as the uniq key or prefix to be used by internal properties, but
that's pushing on a client of the macro something she shouldn't be
aware of. --DD

Re: Running a task between this hour and this hour

[Ninju Bohra]

One way is to use the  task with a custom pattern to contain only the 
hour (in 24hour format).  Then using the  task (from the ant-contrib 
project) along with the a condition (like the  and  
also from ant-contrib or write your own ) to control the setting 
of a property (called "isLateNight")
 
Do all the above in a depends target and protect the worker targets with 
if=isLateNight
 
I think that makes sense,

Improved version (using ant-contrib). I suppose we'll have to wait for 
ANT 1.7 in order to have a 100% solution for scoped variables.

Re: Scoped variables in macrodefs using entity includes.

[Dominique Devienne]

Well, if you use Ant-Contrib's var and side-step property immutability
altogether the problem is moot then, no? In any case, there's no need
for entities. Easier on the eye to simply use an explicit prefix. Of
course one runs the risk of  overriding an existing 'real'
property, but any prefix specific enough, for example the macro name
limits this risk.

Another option is to use the  element added to  by
Peter on Jose's proposal, which I re-discovered reading the code.
Generates a unique attribute name to be used in property names (and
references to these properties).

thread death problem

[Elizabeth Cooper]

There seem to many places in the code where there is a clause:

try {
  [...]
} catch (Throwable t) {
  [...]
}

This will cause many problems if t is a thread death.  From the JavaDocs 
for ThreadDeath:


"If ThreadDeath is caught by a method, it is important that it be rethrown 
so that the thread actually dies."


The way around this is to specifically catch "ThreadDeath" and rethrow it.

try {
  [...]
} catch (ThreadDeath td ) {
  throw td;
} catch ( Throwable t ) {
  [...]
}

Redirect output of Javac task

[Martin Burger]

Hello!

I'm using the Javac task to compile Java sources programmatically. If 
there is an compile error, the Javac tasks (more specific the 
com.sun.tools.javac.Main compiler) prints it's error to the console 
(System.err).


Currently, I'm setting System.err to a new PrintStream just before I 
call Javac.execute(). After that call, I restore the old stream. I think 
this solution is not perfect, at least it is not thread safe. But I 
found no other solution. Does anybody know a better way to bar the 
compiler from printing to the console?


Thanks,
Martin
