Hello - I am new to the ant-dev list. I have questions about the <starteam> task and in particular with the targetfolder parameter of that task. It doesn't seem to work as documented. As documented it sounds as if it works pretty much the way the -rp parameter of stcmd works. However this is not the case. According to the documentation, if I specify a parameter of targetfolder=C:\foo\bar for the command the files in starteam at /projectname/viewname/foldername will be checked out to that directory and unless recursion is turned off, all branches below this one will be stored in a similar tree on the target machine.
However, that does not seem to be the case. A look at the source code explains why - it is factoring in the "default folder" to the calculations of where the path goes. This is the wrong thing to do - if the user specifies a target folder, the user probably wants to override the default folder. The default folder should only be factored into the calculation if no target folder is specified. As I mentioned above, this is the way stcmd co -rp works. I am considering getting involved here and fixing this myself. But before I do so, is there someone here actively involved in maintenance of this task who can explain to me whether I'm missing something or if my preferences for how this should work are in conflict with those of other users or the original designers? Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Cohen Sr. Software Engineer Ignite Sports, Inc.
