http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33480 Summary: Please update doc with this note on why VSSGET gets SSDIR error Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I run my ant script manually, no problems, but if I schedule it to run via the Windows 'at' command, I get the error: [vssget] No VSS database (srcsafe.ini) found. Use the SSDIR environment variable or run netsetup. BUILD FAILED I was unable to find the solution on the net, so (sigh) I had to debug it myself. If you could add a hint in the ant doc, I am sure others would appreciate it. The Reason Why -------------- If the VSS database is on a remote machine, the ant process needs to access network resources. If you run the script manually, ant (like any other Windows user process) uses your creds to access the network. But depending on how you schedule the job to run, Windows will prevent the ant script from accessing network resources. How To Fix It ------------- There's a number of ways. One way is to add something like this to the ant script: <property name="vss.share" value="\\serverName\shareName"/> <property name="netcmd.user" value="domain\foo"/> <property name="netcmd.pass" value="bar"/> <target name="init"> <!-- Get rid of old share, if any. Tolerate share not being there --> <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="cmd.exe" failonerror="false"> <arg line="/c net use ${vss.share} /delete"/> </exec> <!-- Map new share --> <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="cmd.exe" failonerror="true"> <arg line="/c net use ${vss.share} ${netcmd.pass} /U:${netcmd.user}"/> </exec> </target> <target name="allDone"> <!-- Get rid of old share, if any --> <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="cmd.exe" failonerror="true"> <arg line="/c net use ${vss.share} /delete"/> </exec> </target> As a minimum, it'd be nice if the doc just noted if you try to run an ant script as a background job (hint: daily builds), make sure the process has the ability to access network resources, or you'll get the error mentioned above. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
