http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24918 [PATCH] Permit console input to be sent to <java> Summary: [PATCH] Permit console input to be sent to <java> Product: Ant Version: 1.6Beta Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not sure if this has already been discussed and rejected, but anyway here is an attempt at a patch to let you send console input to <java> - mainly so that you can use an Ant script to build and then interactively test a console-based Java app. The patch adds an attribute 'standardinput' to <java>. If true, Ant's stdin will be passed to the subprocess. It seems that this *already* happens when fork="false" - not sure if that is intentional, or if it should be explicitly disabled. Anyway, at least for fork="true" this patch appears to be necessary to let the subprocess read from stdin. Otherwise it gets an immediate EOF. Also adding a few more options to various classes to permit stdin to be read, and to make the stream pumper autoflush input - if you don't do that, then in forked mode the data will just build up somewhere and not get sent to the subprocess. Tested only on Linux, YMMV on other platforms. Not sure how to go about creating a unit test for something so inherently platform-specific and difficult to script (without using Expect or pty's!), but attaching a build file you can test with manually. Try to run each of the targets individually, and also try running two or more in sequence to verify that you can Ctrl-D (Unix) to end input to one task and still go and send some input to the next one. This patch does not attempt to add the same feature for general <exec>; I am not sure if it would even be useful to anyone. Related bug reports I can see: bug #2738 - Passing of Streams... bug #3452 - ... add "input" attribute for task "exec"... bug #24592 - support @input for the exec task --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
