Summary: Problems with BaseDir when the ant is started as Java library from Java Application Product: Ant Version: 1.7.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I try to start ant script using ant as java library from Java application. The start is realized as follow: File buildXmlFile = new File("C:\a\b\z.xml"); List<String> command = new ArrayList<String>(); ... command.add(...); ... command.add("-buildfile"); command.add(buildXmlFile.getAbsolutePath()); Main ant = new Main(); ant.startAnt(command.toArray(new String[command.size()]), null, null); The content of build xml file is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="SSHAntScriptTest" default="default" basedir="."> <description>Build file for SSH Ant Script tests.</description> <scp file="test.txt" todir="${username}:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/bc"/> </project> The xml build file location is different from the execution directory. When that execution is initiated from the command prompt like that everything is OK: c:\somedir>ant -buildfile c:\anotherdir>buildfile.xml When I try to start the same with the same parameters as java library the text.txt file can not be founded. Ant looks for the file in execution directory "c:\somedir\test.txt" instead in buildfile directory "c:\anotherdir\test.txt". To fix this at the moment the following changes are made: 1. The user.dir is changed: File dir = buildXmlFile.getParentFile(); System.getProperties().put("user.dir", dir.getAbsolutePath()); 2. The method runBuild from the Main class is fixed as follow: private void runBuild(ClassLoader coreLoader) throws BuildException { ... project.init(); // 2008-Sep-04: Bug Fix from Miro. project.getBaseDir(); I try to put that fix before project.init() without result. If you need I can send you one small project as test case. The big problem is that I do some changes in System Properties and that the application is multi-thread and multi-tasking and because System Properties are global (static) for all instances in the current JVM. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
