I've been wrestling with the apply task and trying to figure out why
this behavior is exhibited and how I can prevent it.
The task: [using ant 1.5.1]
<target name="undeploy">
<apply executable="${vhi.dir}\bin\deactivatemodel.bat"
vmlauncher="false" dest="" relative="true">
<arg value="-m"/>
<targetfile/>
<arg value="-s"/>
<arg value="${vhiServer}"/>
<fileset dir="${package.dir}" includes="*.zip"/>
<mapper type="regexp" from="^(.*)\.zip$$" to="\1"/>
</apply>
</target>
There are a bunch of zip files in a directory, I'm stripping the ".zip"
extension and just using the extensionless name (target) as an argument
to a batch file. I have no need to use the source file name in this
apply. And yet, ant appends it as the last argument! Example:
[apply] Executing 'c:\Program Files\VHI\bin\deactivatemodel.bat'
with arguments:
[apply] '-m'
[apply] 'sonic5250_Connector_55'
[apply] '-s'
[apply] 'toddw-xp'
[apply] 'sonic5250_Connector_55.zip' <--- WHY DOES THIS
APPEAR AND HOW DO I STOP IT?
[apply]
[apply] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
[apply] not part of the command.
[apply] Error: switch expected at: sonic5250_Connector_55.zip
[apply] deactivatemodel -model, -m model_name
[apply] [ -server, -s vhi_server ]
[apply] [ -user, -u username with -password, -w
password ]
[apply] deactivatemodel -help, -?
[apply] Result: 1
The problem here is the "sonic5250_Connector_55.zip". I don't believe
that my apply task specifies for this to appear, but it does and so the
batch file fails, not understanding the argument.
