User [EMAIL PROTECTED] added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=322328#c12 --- Comment #12 from Andrew Jorgensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-05-20 13:46:35 MST --- In my case the app that was failing was NAnt. The exception is thrown in XmlDocument.Load(string filename). private XmlDocument LoadBuildFile(string uriOrFilePath) { string path = uriOrFilePath; //if the source is not a valid uri, pass it thru. //if the source is a file uri, pass the localpath of it thru. try { Uri testURI = new Uri(uriOrFilePath); if (testURI.IsFile) { path = testURI.LocalPath; } } catch (Exception ex) { logger.Debug("Error creating URI in project constructor. Moving on... ", ex); } finally { if (path == null) { path = uriOrFilePath; } } XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); try { doc.Load(path); } catch (XmlException ex) { Location location = new Location(path, ex.LineNumber, ex.LinePosition); throw new BuildException("Error loading buildfile.", location, ex); } catch (Exception ex) { Location location = new Location(path); throw new BuildException("Error loading buildfile.", location, ex); } return doc; } The exception is thrown because they are explicitly NOT passing a URI to Load(). They strip off the file:// prefix if it's there. Looking at the MS docs this may actually be correct, at least in principle. The ms docs for this method say that filename is a URL and that that "the URL can be either a local file or an HTTP URL (a Web address)". Our own docs say URI rather than URL. In practice, though, one can pass a file:// URI just the path part to the method and the MS class libraries will do the right thing. It looks to me like Miguel's patch is the right way to fix this problem. The msbuild stuff mdtool uses also exhibits the same bug, probably for similar reasons. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
