REPORT #672 Details.

Project: Ant
Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: swbug
State: received
Priority: low
Severity: serious
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: 1.2
   JVM Release: jdk1.3
   Operating System: Linux
   OS Release: Red Hat Linux 6.1
   Platform: x86

Synopsis: 
$PATH handling buglet

Description:
When building a target that needs to execute javadoc (for instance, one 
including the javadoc element), and there is a directory named 'javadoc' in a 
directory in your $PATH before the 'javadoc' executable, the following error 
occurs:


Buildfile: ./build.xml

init:
   #####  ${company} ${product} ${version}  ####

javadoc:
  [javadoc] Generating Javadoc
  [javadoc] Javadoc execution

BUILD FAILED

/home/broz/foo/./build.xml:40: Javadoc failed: java.io.IOException: javadoc: 
canno\

java.io.IOException: javadoc: cannot execute

Total time: 1 second

I argue that this is a bug, since the shells which I have tried (bash, csh) do 
not exhibit this behavior (preferring the directory to a file later in the 
$PATH).  It might be worth checking UNIX standards.

Email me if you'd like the build files I used to test this; I'll probably want 
to clean them up a bit.

This quite probably affects non-javadoc targets.

Synopsis:

$PATH handling buglet

Environment: (jvm, os, osrel, platform)

jdk1.3, Linux, Red Hat Linux 6.1, x86

Additional Environment Description:

This is probably UNIX-specific, and may be a bug in an underlying library. I have a feeling that this is actually a bug in the 1.3 JDK, but didn't track it down far enough to find out. In any case, you might add a note in the documentation to save people the trouble of isolating the problem.
