Subject: Failed to execute task move in Windows
Hi all,
my build file with task move failed in Windows, but the same build
file
works in Linux. Could anybody tell me why?
[build-script]
<project default="test">
<target name="test">
<move file="bi.jar" tofile="Bi.jar" />
</target>
</project>
[build-script]

The messages seem pretty clear: Ant could not find the bi.jar file in
the
path that it searched: C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop.
Is your file in that exact path? Is the current name of the file
bi.jar or
is the spelling slightly different? If either value is wrong, fix it
and
your move task should work.
If both the path and file name are correct, it might be an encoding
issue;
the blanks in "Documents and Settings" appear to be getting turned
into
"%20", which is normal. The antidote to that problem is to use
apostrophes
(sometimes called single quotes) around the path and file name. For
example,
notice the apostrophes within the regular quotes in the value
parameters of
the old.name and new.name properties:
[build-script]
<project default="test">
<property name="old.name" value="'c:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\bi.jar'" description="The old name of
the
file."/>
<property name="new.name" value="'c:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Bi.jar'" description="The new name of
the
file."/>
<target name="test">
<move file="${old.name}" tofile="${new.name}" />
</target>
</project>
[build-script]
