Title: RE: pulling out the code from SourceSafe

Kevin and you were both right! I have a target called asi but it depends on "asi-compile" which is the executable part!

 

I have one more and hopefully last question! so "ant getcode" is working now. But right after writing "ant getcode", if I try to execute it again by writing the same command ("ant getcode"), it says "Target `getcode' does not exist in this project."

Is it what it is suppose to say? I mean it is logical to get the code once instead of getting it everytime when i run build.xml

Pinar, this is what you put in your original post about the getcode target failing...

<target name="getcode">
        <echo message="getting latest code from the Source Safe..."/>
 <vssget vsspath="/assetplanner/Engineering/dev/java"
         login="pbicioglu, pinar"
  writable="true"
  localpath="D:/sandbox/Engineering/dev/java"
  recursive="true"
  ssdir="D:\ProgramFiles\MicrosoftVisualStudio\VSS\win32" />
  </target>

From this it looks like the value for ssdir doesn't have any spaces.  Please verify that your build.xml has the correct path for SS.EXE.  Please note that by default SourceSafe 6.0 installs to \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\Win32 (note the "Common").

Regarding your getcode-compile issue, the syntax for running Ant is...

ant [options] [target [target2 [target3] ...]]

I've never heard of being able to specify "target-compile" instead of "target".  If I have the following build.xml file...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="testing">
  <target name="test1">
    <echo message="Test #1"/>
  </target>
  <target name="test2">
    <echo message="Test #2"/>
  </target>
</project>

...and I want to run both tests, I'd execute the following:

ant test1 test2

This tells ant to execute the targets named "test1" and "test2".  When I try to execute "ant test1-compile test2-compile" ant tells me "test1-compile" doesn't exist, which is correct.  Are you sure you don't have a target named "asi-compile" instead of "asi"?

Best regards,
