Dear all, I am relatively new to Ant using, so may I may miss something obvious but I tried to follow guidelines and search documentation without success.
When I add the <target name="build-lang">...</target-lang> I get an IllegalArgumentException related to the lang.dir. Ant however does something, it creates an English version (but not any other translation) Language_en.properties, and says "build successful" after this exception. In case this matters, I am using the JDK 1.8.0 (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25) The build.xml is *<project name="product-registration-TT-portlet" basedir="." default="deploy"> <import file="../build-common-portlet.xml" /> <target name="build-lang"> <antcall target="build-lang-cmd"> <param name="lang.dir" value="docroot/WEB-INF/src/content" /> <param name="lang.file" value="Language" /> <param name="lang.translate" value="true" /> </antcall> </target></project>* And the output is : *F:\COEProjects\plugins\plugins-lia\portlets\product-registration-TT-portlet>antbuild-langBuildfile: F:\COEProjects\plugins\plugins-lia\portlets\product-registration-TT-portlet\build.xml* *build-lang:* *build-lang-cmd: [java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad argument docroot/WEB-INF/src/content [java] at com.liferay.portal.tools.ArgumentsUtil.parseArguments(ArgumentsUtil.java:32) [java] at com.liferay.portal.tools.LangBuilder.main(LangBuilder.java:57) [java] Java Result: 1* *BUILD SUCCESSFULTotal time: 0 seconds* Of course, the folder name is correct (and it somehow finds my files as it creates the Language_en.properties file. I also tried to put backslashes instead of foreward slashes, I tried to add in front or after the folder name, to escape them etc. but nothing helps. Please note that I searched on internet for example build.xml files, and as I saw a parameter called "build-lang-cmd" I tried to add it. Though I have no idea what it exactly tells, In that case strangely, I don't get the exception, but I get lot of errors telling the client-id argument is missing. As a result, all translation files are created, but they all contain the original English content. The build file in this example would be : *<project name="product-registration-TT-portlet" basedir="." default="deploy"> <import file="../build-common-portlet.xml" /> <target name="build-lang"> <antcall target="build-lang-cmd"> <param name="lang.dir" value="docroot/WEB-INF/src/content" /> <param name="lang.file" value="Language" /> <param name="lang.translate" value="true" /> </antcall> </target> <target name="build-lang-cmd"> <java classname="com.liferay.portal.tools.LangBuilder" classpathref="portal.classpath" fork="true" newenvironment="true"> <jvmarg value="-Dexternal-properties=com/liferay/portal/tools/dependencies/portal-tools.properties" /> <jvmarg value="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" /> <jvmarg value="-Duser.country=US" /> <jvmarg value="-Duser.language=en" /> <arg value="lang.dir=${lang.dir}" /> <arg value="lang.file=${lang.file}" /> <arg value="lang.plugin=true" /> <arg value="lang.translate=${lang.translate}" /> </java> <copy file="${lang.dir}/${lang.file}.properties" tofile="${lang.dir}/${lang.file}_en.properties" /> </target></project>* I would get as output a lot of text such as : * [java] Correlation ID: 3c2e5a07-204a-47a3-a413-316ab512277c [java] Timestamp: 2015-01-03 17:33:50Z [java] Translating en_es where-purchased-required Please tell us where youpurchased the product [java] com.liferay.portal.kernel.microsofttranslator.MicrosoftTranslatorException: ACS90011: The required field 'client_id' is missing. [java] Trace ID: 2ce232f9-4ada-4901-b61e-a8a65ae7d4d6* I mainly would like to understand what goes wrong, I can use with or without this extra "build-lang-cmd" but I would like to understand also what I am doing by adding or omitting this. Thank you very much for your help, and happy new year to whoever reads this :) -- Tanguy Thomas
