Hello All,

 

I have a user experiencing a frustrating issue with our ant + ivy
integration.  The issue really has nothing to do with ivy except the
properties it needs are not loaded by ant.  For some reason, on a single
desktop (that I know of) ant is not loading
${user.home}/build.properties.  This setup works fine from various other
desktops and servers.  From our build.xml, the property load task is:

  <property file="${user.home}/build.properties"/>

 

Which is the second property definition in the build.xml, the first
being:

  <property environment="env" />

 

I have verified that the file exists in C:\Documents and
Settings\<username> and that ${user.home} resolves correctly to
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>.  I added echoes for the properties
that are set in ${user.home}/build.properties and none of them get set.
We tried hard coding the path, going up one level (C:\Documents and
Settings) with the path hard coded, and recreating the build.properties
file in ${user.home}, but none of these worked.  Running using verbose,
ant indicates that C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\build.properties
does not exist (which it does).  I don't see anything out of the
ordinary as far as extra spaces in the path or a carriage return that
would affect locating the file.  

 

We are using ant 1.7, jdk 1.6.0_16, and Windows XP.

 

So far, I have not found a solution via google L

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Barry
