Hello,
I'm new to Ant and am working on it for StarTeam build automation. I've
scoured the internet for a similar problem but I was unable to find any, and
everyone at my work believe it should run fine.
My goal is to apply a build label (named "buildLabelPIPAppCVS") to a directory
("AdvancedAttr") and all its subfolders/files on our StarTeam server. This is
executed as one of the steps in the build, and needs to draw information from
variables defined earlier in the build (like "buildLabelPIPAppCVS").
Below is the code snippet I am running:
...
<echo message=""/>
<echo message="2S. Apply Build Label in
StarTeam"/>
<tstamp>
<format property="nowstamp"
pattern="yyyyMMddHHmmss" locale="en"/>
</tstamp>
<stlabel
URL="starteamapp.staples.com:49201/MMS_VendorItemPortal/AdvancedAttr"
username="thisismyuser"
password="thisismypassword"
label= "${buildLabelPIPAppCVS}"
lastbuild="${nowstamp}"
description="-This description is currently unavailable.-"
/>
...
However, when I run the above snippet, the build fails and I receive the error
message shown below:
BUILD FAILED
C:\StarTeamWorkingFolders\MMS_VendorItemPortal\Mainline\MMS_VendorItemPortal\5_D
eploy\antBuildScripts\05_executePIPBuild.xml:104: The following error occurred w
hile executing this line:
C:\StarTeamWorkingFolders\MMS_VendorItemPortal\Mainline\MMS_VendorItemPortal\5_D
eploy\antBuildScripts\10_packageBuild.xml:79: Problem: failed to create task or
type stlabel
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.
Software Versions:
- Ant 1.9.4
- JDK 1.6.0u21
- Windows XP Prof. SP3
My question then is:
What could be causing the "Failed to create task or type
stlabel" in my code, and what can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks,
