http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41890 Summary: exec > env > key value not set correctly. Product: Ant Version: 1.7.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Build Process AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] S:\auth\dev\auth3>ant -version Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on December 13 2006 I'm not sure if this is by design or not, but I can't find it doc'd and it does cause some confusion. Essentially, you can't set a path for an env var that does not contain a '\'. For instance: <env key="SystemDrive" path="c:"/> Results in SystemDrive=S:\auth\dev\auth3\c Where s:\auth\dev\auth3 is your working directory. To show this, it's easiest to create a target that allows you to view your env. For another reason, I can't just launch a cmd window. I don't know why. Perhaps this can be explained as well? In any case, I create a target named taskmgr that spawns taskmgr with a new env and just a couple of vars set. See below. So, launch the target and then view its env. Do this by running a command prompt via taskmgr > file > run. Then type set to view your env vars. <target name="taskmgr"> <exec dir="c:\windows\system32\" executable="c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe" newenvironment="true" > <env key="junk" path="c:" /> <env key="SystemDrive" value="c:"/> env vars are... COMSPEC=C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.JS;.WS PROMPT=$P$G junk=S:\auth\dev\auth3\c SystemDrive=c: Note, junk is _incorrect_ Yet SystemDrive is correct. Why do you need to use value to set c: Isn't it a valid path? And why is it appended otherwise? Is this doc'd? -- 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]
