Re: propertyfile increments wrong.

[Erik Hatcher]

For the record, Ant 1.4.1 <propertyfile> is buggier than 1.5.

As always, if someone can create a duplicatable test case for this, a fix should be easy.

No, no such problem. Just a simple on-disk project.

I suspect the problem's related to java.text.NumberFormat or something;
looks like at some point it starts formatting things incorrectly (adding
non-breaking space characters between digits such as "1 089" instead of
"1089", but not always; sometimes it wrote "1089" as it should; I correctly
used the "pattern" formatting parameter which seems to increase reliability,
but doesn't make it consistently reliable). For info, I'm using a French
Windows 2000 machine with Ant 1.5.1 and occasionally Ant 1.4.1.

yes, the file is in cvs, but it read/writable and there are no cvs
operations in the build script to overwrite the property file.

Is the build.number file under source control?

I've seen issues when the build.number is checked out, preventing an

update

to build.number.

I can confirm having seen this behaviour in the past. It also occurs with
the buildnumber task.

I couldn't create a reliable test case either... Sometimes I could run the
same task as you around 1000 times without problem, other times just once

or

twice. And it was really erratic, because if I spotted the error, then
manually updated the property file to try and recreate the error WITH THE
SAME PROPERTY VALUE, it wouldn't reliably repeat itself... :-(

Look back through the archives to messages I posted around 18th January
2002.

thank you both for your quick responses!
the incrementing of the build number occurs in my INIT target, and all

other

targets depend on this one. each time i run the build script, init is

only

run once. i wish i could write some kind of test case for this but it
appears to happen erratically, but i'll see if i can recreate it
reliably.

<echo message="increment the build counter" />
<propertyfile file="build/build.number">
<entry key="build.number" type="int" operation="+" value="1" />
</propertyfile>

#build.number property file.
#Mon Dec 30 10:46:31 CST 2002
project.minor.version=2
build.number=90
project.major.version=0

i've included the script again and my properties file, if anyone else
has any ideas. Ryan
