http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15568 outputFile attribute in ILASM task cannot create new file Summary: outputFile attribute in ILASM task cannot create new file Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Optional Tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Look at the processing of the outputFile attribute in the org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.dotnet.Ilasm class: protected String getOutputFileParameter() { if (outputFile == null || outputFile.length() == 0) { return null; } File f = outputFile; return "/output=" + f.toString(); } If the "outputFile" field were a String, this would be correct; it would check if the field had been set to a non-empty string. Since outputFile is a File, it checks whether the file exists and has non-zero length. The result is that output will be set to the specified location only if the file already exists with non-zero length. Workaround: in the ANT script, first use "echo" to create the target file, then call the ilasm task. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
