Hello, I am relatively new to using ant. Can somebody help me with a problem I have in my build.xml file? Below is a snippet of code from my build.xml file. Below, "caratsharp.dir" refers to a directory. Basically, if that directory exists, then the clean, prepare, jar, and copy_jar targets will get called; otherwise, an error msg should be printed and nothing more happens.
When this build.xml is called when the "caratsharp.dir" directory exists, all the antcall commands get done... great! However, when I run this script when the "caratsharp.dir" directory does not exist, the error msg does not get printed. Does anyone have any insight to why the error msg ("${caratsharp.dir} does not exist") does not get printed? <target name="checkForCaratSharpDir"> <available property="present" file="${caratsharp.dir}" /> <available property="isaDir" file="${caratsharp.dir}" type="dir" /> <condition property="isaDir"> <and> <isset property="present" /> <not> <isset property="isaFile" /> </not> </and> </condition> </target> <target name="exists" depends="checkForCaratSharpDir" if="present"> <echo message="${caratsharp.dir} exists" /> <antcall target="clean" /> <antcall target="prepare" /> <antcall target="jar" /> <antcall target="copy_jar" /> </target> <target name="printError" depends="checkForCaratSharpDir" if="isaFile"> <echo message="${caratsharp.dir} does not exist" /> </target> <target name="all" depends="exists,printError" description="Cleans, compile then builds the JAR file." /> Thanks so much in advance for your help, --Anna __________________________________________________________________________ This message and all attachments are PRIVATE, and contain information that is PROPRIETARY to Intelligent Automation, Inc.
