I created an Ant task that runs buildfile (dfs-build.xml) with parameters. It works well under OS Windows. But, I would like ANT task runs under Linux. Any ideas?
<exec executable="cmd">
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="${ant.basedir}\bin\ant -Dproperty.files.dir=${property.files.dir} -Dbasedir=${antscripts.basedir}/../DocumentumCoreProject/dfs6.7 -Dmodule.name=rbacs -f ${antscripts.basedir}\sub_ANTs\Create_EAR_WAR\dfs-build.xml generate"/>
</exec>
The exec task is simpler under Linux:
<exec executable="${ant.basedir}\bin\ant" osfamily="unix">
<arg value="-Dproperty.files.dir=${property.files.dir} -Dbasedir=${antscripts.basedir}/../DocumentumCoreProject/dfs6.7 -Dmodule.name=rbacs -f ${antscripts.basedir}\sub_ANTs\Create_EAR_WAR\dfs-build.xml generate"/>
</exec>
Another cross-platform option is to run the build within the same ANT process
<subant antfile="{antscripts.basedir}\sub_ANTs\Create_EAR_WAR\dfs-build.xml" target="generate">
<property name="property.files.dir" value="${property.files.dir}"/>
<property name="basedir" value="${antscripts.basedir}/../DocumentumCoreProject/dfs6.7"/>
<property name="module.name" value="rbacs"/>
</subant>

Need to run this below command in the Ant exec tag.
windchill ext.cummins.securityLabel.CumminsLoadAgreement -d
%WT_HOME%/loadFiles/ext/cummins/Agreements/AgreementList/Agreement_Loader.xlsx -u wcadmin -p wcadmin
You can make use of Java Task in your ant script to perform this.
Use the below script
<java classname="ext.cummins.securityLabel.CumminsLoadAgreement" fork="true">
<arg value="${username}"/>
<arg value="${password}"/>
<arg value="-d"/>
<arg path="${Your_Custom_Directory}/${Custom_file}"/>
</java>
In a your ant xml file, define a ant target with the tag , the path for Windchill Home is accessible with the variable ${env.WT_HOME}
<project name="YourProjectName" default="YourTargetName" basedir=".">
<target name="YourTargetName">
<exec executable="windchill" dir="." failonerror="true">
<arg line="ext.cummins.securityLabel.CumminsLoadAgreement -d ${env.WT_HOME}/loadFiles/ext/cummins/Agreements/AgreementList/Agreement_Loader.xlsx -u wcadmin -p wcadmin" />
</exec>
</target>
</project>
From a windchill shell you can then run the target as "usual":
ant -f yourFile.xml YourTargetName
Tipp: if you name your ant file build.xml, you even do not need to specify it as parameter.
On windows, I am trying to execute two commands (.cmd and .exe) later requiring parameters,in one exec() task. This is to avoid using two shell ,however only first command is getting executed.
Following is the Ant snippet
<exec executable="cmd" dir="C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\IIB\10.0.0.7\server\bin\">
<arg value="/c mqsiprofile.cmd & C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\IIB\10.0.0.7\server\bin\mqsideploy.exe" />
<arg value="IIBNODE1" />
<arg value="-e" />
<arg value="default" />
<arg value="-a" />
<arg value="${bar.name}" />
</exec>
I also ran it without & and replacing "PROGRA~1" with "Program Files", still the same issue. Please suggest.
You can include both in a single target:
<target name="execute.this">
<exec dir="${testworkspace}\${moduleName}"
executable="cmd" failonerror="true"
output="${testworkspace}/${moduleName}/BuildConsole_TC${tc_num}.log"
resultproperty="execrc">
<arg value="/c echo Download Status is ${DownloadStatus}"/>
<exec dir="${testworkspace}\${moduleName}"
executable="cmd" failonerror="true"
output="${testworkspace}/${moduleName}/BuildConsole_TC${tc_num}.log"
resultproperty="execrc">
<arg value="/c Load.bat ${moduleName} ${Intapp} ${CcvStatus}"/>
</exec>
Or better yet, just use the <echo> task:
<echo message="/c echo Download Status is ${DownloadStatus}"/>
<exec dir="${testworkspace}\${moduleName}"
executable="cmd"
failonerror="true"
output="${testworkspace}/${moduleName}/BuildConsole_TC${tc_num}.log"
resultproperty="execrc">
<arg value="/c Load.bat ${moduleName} ${Intapp} ${CcvStatus}"/>
</exec>
If you need the output of the echo task in the same file, you can use the file parameter in the echo command, and the append parameter in the exec task.
Ref: How to run multiple commands from ant exec task
So I have the below build file:
<target name="test">
<echo message="test"></echo>
<exec executable="C:\Users\Abc\Desktop\cmd.bat" >
<arg value="exit"/>
<arg value="mkdir C:\Users\Abc\Desktop\ant\test"/>
</exec>
</target>
I thought it would create a test folder there but its not. It pops out another command prompt window, I thought the exit would close that but it doesn't. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
The content of bath script test1.bat:
#echo off
echo %1
And ant's build.xml:
<target name="test">
<echo message="test"></echo>
<exec executable="C:\Users\AAA\Desktop\ant\test1.cmd">
<arg value="hello"/>
</exec>
</target>
As per the official documentation:
Note that .bat files cannot in general by executed directly. One
normally needs to execute the command shell executable cmd using the
/c switch
Follow this format instead:
<target name="help">
<exec executable="cmd">
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="ant.bat"/>
<arg value="-p"/>
</exec>
</target>

In IntelliJ IDEA I have this task in my Ant script
<target name="emulator-logcat">
<exec command="adb" spawn="false" osfamily="windows">
<arg value="-e"/>
<arg value="shell"/>
<arg value="logcat"/>
</exec>
</target>
It works but command output sent to IDEA ant window, not in Windows console window. How i can forward command output into new Windows console window as if i start this command from cmd.exe?
Problem resolved:
I create runner.bat file witch contains %* and call it like this
<target name="emulator-logcat">
<exec command="cmd.exe" spawn="true" osfamily="windows">
<arg line="/c start runner.bat adb -e shell logcat"/>
</exec>
</target>
Is it possible to run a command (.cmd file) from Ant? Would I need to write Java code for this?
<exec executable="cmd" os="Windows XP">
<arg value="/C"/>
<arg value="command to run"/>
</exec>
You can do this by using the exec task. From the ant exec documentation:
Note that .bat files cannot in general by executed directly. One normally needs to execute the command shell executable cmd using the /c switch.
So you would need to do something like:
<exec executable="cmd">
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="batchfile.cmd"/>
</exec>
Note that by doing this you have created a dependency of running your ant script in windows.
Adding to eradicus answer, you can also execute .bat, .cmd, ... from any directory with argument on your Window machine by
<target name="test">
<exec executable="cmd" dir="C:/Users/mydir/">
<arg value="/C" />
<arg value="myjob.bat arg1 arg2" />
</exec>
</target>
