All:
A build file that I had developed under Windows started throwing a
strange error when I tried to run it on a Linux box. The error is
"failed to copy due to null" (not terribly informative). Has anyone
seen this before? I saw the question asked on usenet before but no
answer was given.
Here is the error:
BUILD FAILED
/home/zmsyggs/dev/jbbos/r18.6/src/autobuilder/scripts/nimbus-mk.xml:78:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/zmsyggs/dev/jbbos/r18.6/src/autobuilder/scripts/nimbus-runtime.xml
:69: Failed to copy
/home/zmsyggs/dev/jbbos/r18.6/src/jbbos/nimbus/config/properties.src to
/home/zmsyggs/dev/jbbos/r18.6/build/jbbos/nimbus/config/properties due
to null
Null what? It would be nice to know.
Anyway, here is the fragment that causes the problem:
<copy todir="${nimbus.config.dir}" verbose="true"
preservelastmodified="true">
<fileset dir="${nimbus.src.root}/config">
<patternset
refid="include.unsubstituted"/>
</fileset>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.src" to="*" />
<filterset begintoken="@#$%" endtoken="%$#@">
<filtersfile
file="autobuilder/config/${release.environment}.substitution.properties"
/>
</filterset>
</copy>
If I comment out the filterset, the error does not occur.
If I run the build file on Windows, the error does not occur.
Anybody have any ideas?
