I have a build.xml with several <taskdef>s and <target>s. Furthermore, a <property> and a <path> are set:
<property name="foo" location="/some/path/elsewhere" />
<path id="foo.path">
<fileset dir="${foo}">
<include name="*.jar" />
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
One <target> trys to <move> (rename) directories which are under foo.path. This doesn't work because Ant already loaded that stuff, which blocks <move> on system level.
Is there a way to execute some sort of task before the directory in <property> and/or <path> is loaded?
EDIT: <move> task looks as follows:
<target name="moveDirs" if="some.condition">
<move todir="/some/path_old">
<fileset dir="/some/path"/>
</move>
<move todir="/some/path">
<fileset dir="/some/path_new"/>
</move>
</target>
Basically, I'm trying to rename /some/path to /some/path_old and /some/path_new to /some/path. As mentioned before, foo.path points to a folder under /some/path.

I want to copy only specific jar file using ant script. It is very easy task but i am not able to do this. I have written the below ant script for this task. I want to excludes all jar file except aopalliance-.jar file. But when i run this script it excludes all the jar file. can someone correct this script .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project default="mvcexample" name="MVCExample" basedir=".">
<property name="web.dir" value="WebContent" />
<property name="webinf.dir" value="WebContent/WEB-INF" />
<property name="lib.dir" value="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" />
<property name="lib2.dir" value="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib2" />
<target name="copyjar">
<copy todir="${lib2.dir}">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" excludes="**/*.jar">
<include name="${lib.dir}/aopalliance-.jar"></include>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
</project>
Here's what you need to do:
<target name="copyjar">
<copy todir="${lib2.dir}">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<!-- <include name="${lib.dir}/aopalliance-.jar"/> -->
<include name="aopalliance-.jar"/> <!-- Don't put the dir name! -->
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
When you specify a directory, you merely specify the name pattern under that directory. What you were asking for was the jar ${lib.dir}/${lib.dir}/aopalliance-.jar. By the way, is there suppose to be a version number in there somewhere? Like aopalliance-3.4.jar? If so, you need <include name="aopalliance-*.jar"/>.
Also notice that if I used <include .../> instead of <include...></include>.
I am selecting set of files using file set and then using them to generate the checksum of all the files in the selected fileset
here is my script
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<project name="MyTask1" basedir="." default="jar">
<property name="cms.dir" value="D:\Test" />
<property name="comma" value="," />
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
<target name="A">
<fileset id="src.files" dir="${cms.dir}" casesensitive="yes">
<include name="**/*.uim"/>
<include name="**/*.properties"/>
<include name="**/*.txt"/>
</fileset>
<pathconvert pathsep="${line.separator}" property="sounds" refid="src.files">
<!-- To get the names of the files only then use mapper-->
<!-- <mapper type="flatten" />-->
</pathconvert>
<delete file="sounds.txt"/>
<for list="${sounds}" delimiter="${line.separator}" param="mod">
<sequential>
<checksum file="#{mod}" property="MD5_Value"/>
<echo file="sounds.txt" append="true">#{mod}${comma}${MD5_Value}${line.separator}</echo>
</sequential>
</for>
<!--<checksum file="Test.txt" property="foobarMD5"/>-->
<!--<echo file="sounds.txt">${foobarMD5}</echo>-->
</target>
</project>
However its failing and its generating duplicate MD5 value here is my output
D:\Test\Test1.txt,6d326741a99efbcda928e5096b43cb9a
D:\Test\Test2.txt,6d326741a99efbcda928e5096b43cb9a
Any help ...
The checksum task can process filesets...
<checksum>
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="foo*"/>
</fileset>
</checksum>
Lot simpler than using the for task, which is not part of standard ANT.
I am creating a jar bundle using ant build script. The problem is that the .class files are not included in the generated .jar file. I have also tried the {build.dest} in making the jar, but with no effect.
remaining all the files i require are in .jar file.
Here is my build script
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="TaskNodeBundle" default="all" basedir=".">
<!-- Sets variables which can later be used. -->
<!-- The value of a property is accessed via ${} -->
<property name="bundlename" value="task-node-bundle" />
<property name="src.dir" location="../src" />
<property name="lib.dir" location="../lib" />
<property name="build.dir" location="/buildoutput" />
<property name="build.dest" location="../build/dest" />
<!--
Create a classpath container which can be later used in the ant task
-->
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
<delete dir="${build.dest}" />
</target>
<!-- Deletes the existing build directory -->
<target name="mkdir" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="${build.dest}"/>
</target>
<!-- Compiles the java code -->
<target name="compile" depends="mkdir">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dest}" classpathref="classpath" />
</target>
<target name="package-bundle" depends="compile" description="Generates the bundle" >
<jar destfile="${build.dest}/${bundlename}.jar" manifest="${src.dir}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/**.class" />
<include name="**/**.properties"/>
<include name="/META-INF/**.*" />
<include name="/META-INF/spring/**.*" />
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="all" depends="package-bundle">
</target>
</project>
Firstly, what do you mean by "tried {build.dest} in making the jar"?
Whatever, you need to take a look at this part of your build:
<jar destfile="${build.dest}/${bundlename}.jar" manifest="${src.dir}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/**.class" />
<include name="**/**.properties"/>
<include name="/META-INF/**.*" />
<include name="/META-INF/spring/**.*" />
</fileset>
</jar>
You compiled class files are in ${build.dest}, so you should use ${build.dest} as the root dir for the nested <fileset> of the <jar> task. But now you are pointing the <fileset> to your source code folder.
You should avoid putting the generated jar file in the same directory where the class files are. For example, you can put the jar in ${dist.dir}, which is another directory.
So try this:
You have a property:
<property name="dist.dir" value="../build/dist" />
And then,
<jar destfile="${dist.dir}/${bundlename}.jar" manifest="${src.dir}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF">
<fileset dir="${build.dest}">
<include name="**/*.class" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.properties"/>
<include name="/META-INF/**/*.*" />
<include name="/META-INF/spring/**/*.*" />
</fileset>
</jar>
When debugging it's quite common for me to use things such as Zend_Debug and die() in the PHP to locate an issue. Occasionally I forget to take these out before committing my code. So I was wondering...
How do I write an ant build.xml target which checks all the files in my application for specific strings and fails if they have been found?
Basically, I'm after a reverse grep command which fails when it finds a string.
Any ideas?
Also, given my build.xml file looks like this (I've removed most of my targets to make it short), how do I make it work?
I don't know how ant works, so I'm after a 'drop-in' solution or good instructions.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="API" default="build" basedir=".">
<property name="source" value="application"/>
<target name="build" depends="prepare,lint,phpcpd,phpdox,phpunit,phpcb"/>
<target name="clean" description="Cleanup build artifacts">
<delete dir="${basedir}/build/api"/>
</target>
<target name="lint">
<apply executable="php" failonerror="true">
<arg value="-l" />
<fileset dir="${basedir}/${source}">
<include name="**/*.php" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${basedir}/tests">
<include name="**/*.php" />
</fileset>
</apply>
</target>
</project>
Within the lint target (after the apply element) add
<fileset id="die-files" dir="${basedir}/${source}">
<include name="**/*.php" />
<contains text="die()"/>
</fileset>
<fail message="The following files contain "die()": ${ant.refid:die-files}">
<condition>
<resourcecount when="greater" count="0" refid="die-files"/>
</condition>
</fail>
If you can use ant-contrib than:
<for param="file">
<path>
<fileset dir="/path/to/application/"/>
</path>
<sequential>
<if>
<contains string="#{file}" substring="bad elements"/>
<then>
<fail>warning! substring is present in directory</fail>
</then>
</if>
</sequential>
</for>
I have a ANT script and I have a lot of duplicated path to same set JAR files.
But there is so many double wording in the classpath and also in the war element.
<path id="my.classpath">
<pathelement location="folderA/subFolderA/1.0/A.jar"/>
<pathelement location="folderC/subFolderB/1.0/B.jar"/>
<pathelement location="folderF/subFolderZ/2.0/Z.jar"/>
<pathelement location="compile/subFolderX/1.0/onlyForJavac.jar"/>
</path>
....
<javac ...>
<classpath refid="my.classpath" />
</javac>
....
<war ...>
<lib file="folderA/subFolderA/1.0/A.jar"/>
<lib file="folderC/subFolderB/1.0/B.jar"/>
<lib file="folderF/subFolderZ/2.0/Z.jar"/>
<lib file="moreFolderF/subFolderZ/2.0/additionFile.jar"/>
<lib file="moreFolderF/subFolderZ/2.0/additionRuntimeFile.jar"/>
</war>
I want to summary them into ONE list which is easier to keep update.
But I am blocked as I have no idea how to share a path-like-structure with a fileset-like-structure.
Since Ant 1.8.0 there is a new resource collection - mappedresources that
can be used in place of the war task lib element.
So, the task might look like this (pretty much straight from the docs):
<war ... >
<mappedresources>
<restrict>
<path refid="my.classpath"/>
<type type="file"/>
</restrict>
<chainedmapper>
<flattenmapper/>
<globmapper from="*" to="WEB-INF/lib/*"/>
</chainedmapper>
</mappedresources>
</war>
This feature was added to resolve a long-standing feature request to make
the task flatten jars when deploying to WEB-INF/lib.
previous answer:
Although you can't easily convert a path to a fileset with vanilla Ant, you can go the other way.
So one option would be to define your jars in a fileset, and derive the path from it.
Something like this perhaps:
<fileset id="my.fileset" dir="${basedir}">
<include name="folderA/subFolderA/1.0/A.jar"/>
<include name="folderC/subFolderB/1.0/B.jar"/>
<include name="folderF/subFolderZ/2.0/Z.jar"/>
<include name="moreFolderF/subFolderZ/2.0/additionFile.jar"/>
<include name="moreFolderF/subFolderZ/2.0/additionRuntimeFile.jar"/>
</fileset>
<path id="my.classpath">
<fileset refid="my.fileset" />
</path>
<!-- javac stays the same -->
<war ...>
<lib refid="my.fileset" />
</war>
Another possibility is to use the ant-contrib pathtofileset task.
Another solution, possibly 'not the best' will be to place required jar file in WEB-INF/lib, and then set the classpath from there.
<path id="compile.classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="*.jar"/>
</path>
When its time to build the war, you need not worry about the <lib> at all, as jars are already placed in WEB-INF/lib folder.
<war destfile="${dist.dir}/${project.name}.war" webxml="${web.dir}/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<fileset dir="${web.dir}"/>
<classes dir="${build.dir}/classes"/>
</war>
