+ | DESCRIPTION |
+ Some time between the release of 1.3 and current (5/3/2001) CVS, the 'tar'
task
+ has changed behaviour. Let's say I want to tar up a 'src' directory:
+
+ src/
+ src/a.txt
+ src/b.txt
+
+ with the following Ant build file:
+
+ <?xml version="1.0"?>
+ <project name="tartest" default="main" basedir=".">
+ <target name="main" description="Tar a directory">
+ <tar tarfile="foo.tar" basedir="src"/>
+ </target>
+ </project>
+
+ Here's what happens:
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$
+ /home/jeff/apache/jakarta/jakarta-ant/jakarta-ant-1.4alpha/bin/ant -version
+ Ant version 1.4alpha compiled on May 3 2001
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$
+ /home/jeff/apache/jakarta/jakarta-ant/jakarta-ant-1.4alpha/bin/ant
+ Buildfile: build.xml
+
+ main:
+ [tar] Building tar: /home/jeff/tmp/ant/tartest/foo.tar
+
+ BUILD SUCCESSFUL
+
+ Total time: 0 seconds
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$ tar tvf foo.tar
+ -rw-r--r-- 0/0 0 2001-05-03 11:18:19
+ -rw-r--r-- 0/0 16 2001-05-03 11:12:06 a.txt
+ -rw-r--r-- 0/0 16 2001-05-03 11:12:15 b.txt
+
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$ tar xvf foo.tar
+
+ tar: : Cannot open: No such file or directory
+ a.txt
+ b.txt
+ tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
+
+
+ Whereas, If I do the same thing with Ant 1.3, it works:
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$ ant -version
+ Ant version 1.3 compiled on March 2 2001
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$ ant
+ Buildfile: build.xml
+
+ main:
+ [tar] Building tar: /home/jeff/tmp/ant/tartest/foo.tar
+
+ BUILD SUCCESSFUL
+
+ Total time: 0 seconds
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$ tar xvf foo.tar
+ a.txt
+ b.txt
+
+
+ (Actually, this is not the expected behaviour, as the command 'tar cvf foo.tar
+ src/' would include the src/ dir in the tar, but anyway).
+
+
+ A workaround is to explicitly list the directory to include and it's contents:
+
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$ cat build2.xml
+ <?xml version="1.0"?>
+ <project name="tartest" default="main" basedir=".">
+ <property name="src" value="src"/>
+ <target name="main" description="Tar a directory">
+ <tar tarfile="foo.tar" basedir="." includes="${src}/**"/>
+ </target>
+ </project>
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$
+ /home/jeff/apache/jakarta/jakarta-ant/jakarta-ant-1.4alpha/bin/ant -buildfile
+ build2.xml
+ Buildfile: build2.xml
+
+ main:
+ [tar] Building tar: /home/jeff/tmp/ant/tartest/foo.tar
+
+ BUILD SUCCESSFUL
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$
+ /home/jeff/apache/jakarta/jakarta-ant/jakarta-ant-1.4alpha/bin/ant -buildfile
+ build2.xml
+ Buildfile: build2.xml
+
+ main:
+ [tar] Building tar: /home/jeff/tmp/ant/tartest/foo.tar
+
+ BUILD SUCCESSFUL
+
+ Total time: 0 seconds
+
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] tartest]$ tar xvf foo.tar
+ src/
+ src/a.txt
+ src/b.txt
+
+
+ This may be related to bug 414
+ (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=414)
+
+ Thanks to those hardworking folks on ant-dev :)
