http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36347 Summary: <exec> task's dir attribute not honored if current directory is the same as the dir attribute. Product: Ant Version: 1.6.5 Platform: Sun OS/Version: Solaris Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The <exec> task takes a dir attribute to set the working directory of the executing program. This dir attribute is ignored on my Solaris 8 (sparc) system if the dir attribute is the same as the current working directory and the build script is not in the current working directory. Example: /tmp/build.xml /tmp/foo -- current working directory /tmp/bar -- arbitrary directory build.xml contains: <project basedir="." default="all" name="ExecTest"> <target name="all"> <exec dir="/tmp/foo" executable="/usr/bin/pwd" /> </target> </project> >From /tmp/foo, run: ant -f ../build.xml Buildfile: ../build.xml all: [exec] /tmp BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds Change to /tmp/bar and run the same program and you see the expected behavior. Buildfile: ../build.xml all: [exec] /tmp/foo BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds It also works if you are in the same directory as the build file. I tested this on Solaris, Linux, and Windows, and Solaris is the only platform where I see this problem. -- 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]
