What would cause <delete> to be unable to remove a file that I can 'rm' at the command line (so it's not permission problems)? It's a file that's generated in an earlier target, then read in by <property>, and if it doesn't actually have a valid property-setting line in it, then the property doesn't get set, so the target that checks whether the property is set will echo an error message, delete the file (theoretically), then do a <fail>. All of that works except the file deletion. The (verbose) log snippet is: [...] [property] Loading D:\dianeh\src\nightly\build.properties Error: Build number not correctly set. Check your client environment. [delete] Deleting: D:\dianeh\src\nightly\build.properties
BUILD FAILED build.xml:213: Unable to delete D:\dianeh\src\nightly\build.properties Total time 3 seconds Unable to delete file D:\dianeh\src\nightly\build.properties So the BUILD FAILED is actually a result of the <delete> not being able to complete, not a result of the <fail> that follows it (which never executes, because ant exits on the <delete> failing). Reading the file in with <property> wouldn't somehow keep the file in use, would it? Thanks, Diane ===== ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
