 It's like to see it for ant and subant. antcall, I'm not sure. --DD

The place this can be done is in Ant.java, ant, subant, antcall
and antcontrib:foreach will then automaticlly pick up the behaviour.

I think it did, as the message must have come from an IOException, so
the error actually is in recurse.xml not in the file it is trying to
import.  At least I think so.

It will now tell you which file/URL caused the exception, though.

 and furthermore, the error is reported to occur in recurse.xml,
 never mentioning that recurse.xml was in fact imported from
 build.xml or at which line.

This is a bit harder to track down and put into the error message, I'm
afraid.  Currently we don't keep track of that at all AFAICS, we only
record that a file has been imported, but not from where.

No, really Stefan! recurse.xml was doing a subant on rescue.xml, and it's
rescue.xml which failed to parse (like I said, because rescue.xml was doing
an entity include of a URI using a custom URL protocol not enabled during
this run. FTR, I was replacing entity include using that protocol with
import).

So Filters.xml was importing recurse.xml
recurse.xml was subant'ing rescue.xml
rescue.xml failed to parse because of the entity include (see above)

And *still* the error messages never mentioned that *rescue.xml* failed to
parse, and simply reported on IOException in recurse.xml, never mentioning
as well that recurse.xml was itself imported by Filters.xml.

I don't know what layer is at fault here, but the proper error should have
reported that rescue.xml failed to parse, from subant at line XYZ in
recurse.xml, imported from Filters.xml at line ABC.

Without this kind of clear and detailed error report, import and
[sub]ant will not mix happily!

  and furthermore, the error is reported to occur in recurse.xml,

I had the same problem with antlib.
I have now copied the logic from antlib to import,
so build exceptions during import parsing should now
report the imported and importing
files in an emacs friendly form.

Well, as it was an IOException, I expected it to be a problem with the
importing file.  I would expect a SAX exception if it was in the
imported one.  But an invalid URL may result in IOExceptions, of
course.

Sorry

Re: Misleading error reporting with imports

This is the way antlib works

I suppose it would be better to do
/tmp/bad.xml:2:  The content of elements must consist of well-formed
 character data or markup.
Imported by
/tmp/import_bad_import.xml:2:
Imported by
/tmp/import_import_bad_import.xml:2:

Putting the filename at the start of the line allows
emacs next-error (and other error detection ides using
emacs style errors) to locate the file (s).

Misleading error reporting with imports

2003-10-21 Thread Dominique Devienne
Before opening a BugZilla issue, I'll post what I'm seing:

I have a 'recursing' build file (build.xml), that imports recurse.xml to do
the actual recursing (build.xml just specify which subdirs to recurse into),
and the build file I'm recursing into (rescue.xml) fails to parse correctly
for good reasons (because using a custom URL protocol no longer defined).
Look at the error message below:

P:\com_lgc\10.0.7\gocad\T-Surf\Filtersbuild -Dmsdev=false
Buildfile: P:\com_lgc\10.0.7\gocad\T-Surf\Filters\build.xml

BUILD FAILED
P:\com_lgc\10.0.7\gocad\config\recurse.xml:40: Error reading project file:
unknown protocol: resource

Total time: 2 seconds

The error message doesn't specify which build file failed to parse
correctly, and furthermore, the error is reported to occur in recurse.xml,
never mentioning that recurse.xml was in fact imported from build.xml or at
which line.

Add a level or two of importing and/or one or two ant/antcall/subant layer,
and it quickly becomes a real headache to troubleshoot a problem. Even in
this simple case, I was confused, when I'm the writers of all the build
files. Had to resort to -debug scrutinizing to figure it out, even that is
not easy at all. The debug out somehow shows the same references being set
several times, reports about imported build files several times, etc...

I *really* hope we would somehow improve on this situation before Ant 1.6
release. October 30 sounds like a hasty release date. --DD
