Hi everybody, Seems like I'm running into an unexplainable brick wall that maybe someone out here as seen before... I've been hitting my head against this for the past two hours :( Basically, I'm running antv1.5.1 on JDK 1.3 (ugh, I know), and am having a problem with the exec task. When I run the target from the build script that it exists in, I have no problem whatsoever. My problem is when I try to roll this up into the parent level build script I get an error.
Error I get: BUILD FAILED file:M:/dmctavish_main/sw-profserv/scripts/bundle.xml:110: Execute failed: java. io.IOException: CreateProcess: ..\..\sw-tools\nsis\makensis.exe /V1 golden error=2 Basically, I have a parent level build.xml file with a target "bundle.golden". This target calls the "bundle" target in the build.xml file that is found in the golden directory. Nothing special going on in my mind... here's the parent-level target: <target name="bundle.golden"> <ant dir="golden" target="bundle" inheritall="false"/> </target> In my golden directory, I have a build.xml with the following target: <property name="bin.nsis" value="../../tools/nsis/makensis.exe"/> <property name="deploy.product.dir" value="../products/golden"/> <target name="bundle"> <exec executable="${bin.nsis}" dir="${deploy.product.dir}"> <arg line="/V1 golden" /> </exec> </target> I've surrounded the exec task with <available> tasks to guarantee that the executable is found, as well as the deploy.product.dir is correct. These return true whether I call this "bundle" target from the local folder or the parent. ie: <available property="test" file="${bin.nsis}"/> <available property="test2" file="${deploy.product.dir}/golden.nsi"/> <echo message="${test}${test2}"/> debug message reveals the following: --- Nested Exception --- java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: ..\..\sw-tools\nsis\makensis.exe /V1 golden error=2 at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method) at java.lang.Win32Process.<init>(Win32Process.java:61) at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Native Method) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:546) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute$Java13CommandLauncher.exec(Exec ute.java:645) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.launch(Execute.java:417) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.execute(Execute.java:428) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask.runExecute(ExecTask.java:329) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask.runExec(ExecTask.java:368) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask.execute(ExecTask.java:250) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:317) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:309) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.performTasks(Target.java:334) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:1306) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Ant.execute(Ant.java:371) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.CallTarget.execute(CallTarget.java:143) any ideas would be greatly appreciated! regards, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
