Hi,

 

I'm having a problem of inconsistent behavior when I'm using ANT for a build process.

When I'm running a certain build process from a command line console the build process succeeds. But when I'm running the same build process from code (using the code snippet below) the same process fails…

The build.xml file I'm talking about has a target called "generate" which doesn’t require any input parameters. All the required info exists in the build.xml file.

My question is if anyone encountered such inconsistencies?

Is the code I'm using correct?

What could it be that may have influence on the build process when running it from code VS running the same process from a command line console?

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

             * @param buildFilePath a path to an ANT build xml file

             * @param userProperties a map of user properties to be planted into the ANT xml file

             * @param target A target to be activated in the ANT build xml file

             * @throws Exception

             */

            public static void Activate(String buildFilePath, String target) throws Exception{

                       

                        File buildFile = new File(buildFilePath);

                        Project project = new Project();

                       

                        project.setUserProperty("ant.file", buildFile.getAbsolutePath());

                       

                        DefaultLogger consoleLogger = new DefaultLogger();

                        consoleLogger.setErrorPrintStream(System.err);

                        consoleLogger.setOutputPrintStream(System.out);

                        consoleLogger.setMessageOutputLevel(Project.MSG_INFO);

                       

                        project.addBuildListener(consoleLogger);

 

                        try {

                                    project.fireBuildStarted();

                                    project.init();

                                   

                                    ProjectHelper helper = ProjectHelper.getProjectHelper();

                                    project.addReference("ant.projectHelper", helper);

                                    helper.parse(project, buildFile);

                                   

                                    if(target==null)

                                                project.executeTarget(project.getDefaultTarget());

                                    else

                                                project.executeTarget(target);

                                   

                                    project.fireBuildFinished(null);

                        } catch (BuildException e) {

                                    project.fireBuildFinished(e);

                                    throw new Exception("Failed while creating a new service workspace.",e);

                        } catch(Exception e){

                                    throw new Exception("Failed while creating a new service workspace.",e);

                        }

            }
