Re: [go-cd] Questions concerning Agents: Ant and how to install more Agents?

[Aravind SV]

Oh, you asked about "ant" on the server. You'll need ant on the agent, not
the server.

About multiple agents on a machine, see this part of the documentation
.
It's nothing special. If you run multiple agents, they'll show up in the
"Agents" page as separate agents, that's all. Agents need to be configured
to connect to the server. That page explains how to create an
/etc/default/go-agent-1 file to configure the second agent, etc.

 Question 1: How to install Ant on a Agent?  Is itdone by installing Ant
 on my Fedora (on which my server and Agent are currently running)?
 I executed recently the build.xml file of this repo (
 https://github.com/skeeto/sample-java-project) and I received the
 following messages at the end of the Job logfile:

 01:17:38.969 [go] Start to execute task: . 01:17:38.973 Error 
 happened while attempting to execute 'ant'. Please make sure [ant] can be 
 executed on this agent. 01:17:38.973 [Debug Information] Environment 
 variable PATH: 
 /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/var/go/.local/bin:/var/go/bin
  01:17:38.984 [go] Current job status: failed.

 Is the failing of the job associated with the lack of Ant on my Agent or 
 associated with the second-last line?
 If the latter, can you explain to me what it means?

 Question 2: How to install multiple Agents for my Go Server?
 As far as I see it it is not possible to install multiple Agents on the 
 same OS instance.
 If I install other Agents on other machines, how can I connect the with my 
 Go Server?

[Christian Kolb]

I thank you a lot but I have no idea how to establish a PATH or Environment 
variable for Ant at my GoCD server.

Can someone help me in that matter? I feel pretty much lost.
