I'm trying to use Ant 1.7 but running into a problem. In my current directory, I have a build file called warupdate.xml. From within this directory, I execute:
/opt/apache-ant-1.7.0/bin/ant -f warupdate.xml
I then get the following error:
Buildfile: warupdate.xml
BUILD FAILED
./warupdate.xml is not an absolute path
Any ideas? Thanks!
Matt
Why name it anything other than build.xml? It's the standard, ant will expect it and then you can simply just run ant from that directory without specifying a build file.
Here's my warupdate.xml:
<project>
<echo>Tada!</echo>
</project>
Here's my Ant command:
$ /opt/ant/bin/ant -f warupdate.xml
Buildfile: /Users/david/warupdate.xml
[echo] Tada!
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
Basically, it works.
Something else is going on, and you're not giving the full story. What does warupdate.xml look like? What if you use ant -d to get a verbose debugging output. Maybe that will show you what's going on. Why are you giving the full path to ant?
You have to give us more information.

I've looked at both these posts.. they don't help:
PHP build for Jenkins failing with 'Cannot run program "phploc"'
Cannot run phploc installed through composer
If I run phploc at a shell prompt, it works just fine. So it must be something with my build.xml file... but I don't know what.

This works fine:

What am I missing?
From chat discussion, it came out to be a PATH related issue. That's exactly what I was thinking it to be.
Setting absolute path of phploc in <exec executable="phploc"> did the trick. It was working on command line from C:\projects\project1\build directory because phploc was in one of its sub-directory (vendor\bin) and this sub-directory was already in the PATH variable.
PATH=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\;C:\xampp\php;C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java;c:\ant\bin;.\vendor\bin
Note: Although providing absolute path worked here but it's a good practice to use relative path so that your project is portable. In this case, you could use basedir as the reference point for all relative paths.
I have downloaded the Activity 5.10 zip file and then i have downloaded and configured the Apache ANT and i test it and it worked successfully.
But i am unable to run the demo file as specified in this link http://activiti.org/userguide/#demo.setup
if i type the following using the cmd command line:-
C:\activiti-5.10\activiti-5.10\setup>ant demo.start
I will get the following error:-
'ant' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Can anyone help me in identifying what is the problem?

Looks like you didn't set the ant directory in you path variable. Either specifiy the entire path to ant or add it to the path variable
I typed tomcat.install and it solved the problem since I need to download the tomcat inside the apps directory.
Latest Android NDK (version 8) allows to call ndk-build without additional cygwin installed.
My question is: can I plug this into CruiseControl.Net for periodical native build?
I assume that most likely I would need to use Ant as a build method and then add it to ccnet server config.
So the questions are:
How to call ndk-build.cmd from an Ant command
How to configure build.xml file?
I tried several approaches, but all of those failed. Could you give me some clues if it is possible at all?
I ran into the same problem (the CreateProcess failures, etc) when trying to invoke "ndk-build.cmd" directly from build.xml, using CC.net on Windows. I figured out how to get this to work, and so I felt compelled to share my solution.
First, create a 1-line Windows command file as follows (I named it "ndkwrapper.cmd"):
sh ndkwrap.sh %1 %2 %3
Next, create a simple bash shell script as follows (named "ndkwrap.sh"):
#!/usr/bin/sh
# Wrapper around ndk-build script for Windows
#
NDK_PROJECT_PATH=/cygdrive/c/workspace/agnc_android
export NDK_PROJECT_PATH
/cygdrive/c/Android/android-ndk-r8b/ndk-build $1 $2 $3
Of course, your exact paths (for your workspace and NDK directories) may be different, but note, in particular, that "/cygdrive/c" refers to "C:".
One very important step here, after you create the script above, is to convert the line endings from Windows to UNIX. You can do this with a utility called "dos2unix.exe" which is freely available. I don't remember where I got it, but it was part of some open source package of GNU/Linux tools ported to Windows. (Google on "UNIX file utilities for Windows".) If you don't convert the line endings, then sh or bash will have trouble reading the script, and you'll get all kinds of erros about "\r" ...
So, to invoke the equivalent of "ndk-build.cmd clean", for example, you'd type "ndkwrapper.cmd clean" to delete your intermediate and output NDK-related build files, in preparation for a full NDK build.
In your build.xml file for CC.net on Windows, you can invoke the NDK makefile as follows:
<tasks>
<exec>
<executable>cmd.exe</executable>
<baseDirectory>C:\Android</baseDirectory>
<buildArgs>/C ndkwrapper.cmd clean</buildArgs>
</exec>
Hope this helps!
Ben
i observed problems with running ndk-build as an CCNET task as well.
It took me a while, but at the end i noticed, that you have to provide HOST_OS and HOST_ARCH as ndk-build parameters to let it run.
<exec>
<executable>cmd</executable>
<buildArgs>/C ndk-build HOST_OS=windows HOST_ARCH=x86 -B NDK_PROJECT_PATH=[PROJECT] APP_BUILD_SCRIPT=[ANDROIDMKFILE] NDK_APPLICATION_MK=[APPLICATIONMKFILE] NDK_LOG=1</buildArgs>
<buildTimeoutSeconds>120</buildTimeoutSeconds>
</exec>
hope it helps anyone to save time.
Ok I got some progress, I am able to build the jni code via ant or nant but in both cases plugging it to the cc.net server config gives me strane error:
but now CC.net gives me strange errors:

</target>
</project>
As I said I can run a Nant.exe for my project and it cleans and build correctly.
It looks like the cc.net tries to run the other ndk-build commend which is used for linux and is missing some commands as uname.
Do you have any idea what cI could be doing wrong ?
The original question is asking about ant builds. This answer is related to a problem in CC.NET and ant and gradle builds are going to be affected in the same way.
We are using gradle and with some custom gradle tasks it is possible to compile the native code of your project as well by calling ndk-build.cmd (from a path that has no spaces in it).
After the gradle file is prepared properly shell initiated gradle builds will work but cc.net initiated builds will fail.
Our CC.NET task is defined as follows:
<exec executable=".\gradlew.bat">
<baseDirectory>$(projSrcDir)</baseDirectory>
<buildArgs>clean assemblePlayRelease assembleProRelease</buildArgs>
<buildTimeoutSeconds>900</buildTimeoutSeconds>
</exec>
The problem is related to a CC.NET bug that causes the shell variable names to be in lower case. Windows shell scripts do not care about the case of shell variable names but because the NDK fires up make variable case becomes an issue. The init.mk make file that is part of the build process relies on shell variable names to identify the host OS type. In particular the shell variable OS. Normally the OS value is defined like this:
OS=Windows_NT
But when the variable is passed to gradle from CC.NET it gets transformed into this:
os=Windows_NT
This causes the detection mechanism in init.mk to fail and tries to execute the unix detection sequence and looks for the Unix uname utility that is not present on Windows resulting in:
Android NDK: Unable to determine HOST_OS from uname -s:
Android NDK: Please define HOST_OS in your environment.
make.exe: Entering directory `D:/CC.NET/svncheckout/pes/src/project/src/main/jni'
make.exe: Leaving directory `D:/CC.NET/svncheckout/pes/src/project/src/main/jni'
And ultimately:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname -s, ...) failed.
c:/ndk/build/core/init.mk:160: *** Android NDK: Aborting. . Stop.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
The workaround is less then ideal but it gets the job done. The idea is to edit the ndk-build.cmd and change the case of the passed variables only when we are building from CC.NET.
Simply insert this code after the #echo off line in ndk-build.cmd:
IF DEFINED ccnetproject (
ECHO Applying Environment variable hack for CC.NET.
SET OS2=%os%
SET OS=
REM SET PATH=%path%
SET TEMP2=%temp%
SET TEMP=
)
IF DEFINED ccnetproject (
SET OS=%OS2%
SET OS2=
SET TEMP=%TEMP2%
SET TEMP2=
)
This script first makes temporary copies of values in the lower case OS and TEMP variables. Next it undefines them by clearing their values. An finally the reverse is done.
Two steps are needed because just saying
SET OS=%os%
doesn't do much since scripts are case insensitive. It first locates the OS variable, finds a lower case version and assigns its own value back to itself.
This was tested on CC.NET v1.6.7981.1, gradle v1.1.0 and Android NDK v10 (64bit).
I have following code in config.xml file:
<schedule interval = "300">
<ant anthome="/usr/share/ant"
antworkingdir="${GitDir}"
uselogger="true"
usedebug="true"/>
</schedule>
And when I execute build through it, I am just getting output, like I've been typing just ant in command line.
I need to be able to execute following command from Cruisecontrol:
ant debug
If this is making any difference, I need to be able to build android application.
How this can be done?
Thank you on advance.
You're already using the right attributes in your config.xml to start your ant scripts with loglevel debug
...
usedebug="true"
...
is equivalent to ant -debug ...
see http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#ant for details.
I'm using Jenkins, Ivy and Ant for my builds.
I have the following lines:
<echo>${env.WORKSPACE}\${componentname}.Test.Unit\lib\</echo>
<ivy:retrieve pattern="${env.WORKSPACE}\${componentname}.Test.Unit\lib\[artifact].[ext]" transitive="false"/>
echo returns this:
[echo] C:\Jenkins\workspace\Productv1.0~Common.Utility\Common.Utility\lib\
But the retrieve call doesn't seem to place the libraries there.
Is this possible with the pattern parameter or am I using it wrong?
Works fine for my on Linux
<echo>${env.HOME}/tmp/Test.Unit/lib/</echo>
<ivy:retrieve pattern="${env.HOME}/tmp/Test.Unit/lib/[artifact].[ext]" transitive="false"/>
Files are placed where I expect them:
$ find /home/mark/tmp/Test.Unit/lib/
/home/mark/tmp/Test.Unit/lib/
/home/mark/tmp/Test.Unit/lib/commons-lang.jar
/home/mark/tmp/Test.Unit/lib/junit.jar
