BUILD FAILED
C:\work\build\XML_VALIDATION\build.xml:4: C:\work\build\XML_VALIDATION\contacts.xml is not a valid XML document.
i am not checking it against any xsd,can anyone help me in finding what changes i need to insert into the xml.
If you just want to make sure your XML is well-formed, then add the lenient attribute to your xmlvalidate task as follows.
<xmlvalidate file="contacts.xml" lenient="yes"/>
Your build file is not valid, you need to start with
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="name">
<target name="target-name">
...
</target>
</project>
A google search for sample Ant build file will provide all you need to understand build files. This link will help too.

I have XML file named TIBCOUniversalInstaller_TRA_5.10.0.silent as below.I want to replace values in XML file using "replace" target in ant script using xmltask task.
XML File is below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
<comment>---Universal Installer Silent Installation Properties---</comment>
<!--accept the license agreement-->
<entry key="acceptLicense">true</entry>
<entry key="installationRoot">/opt/tibco</entry>
<entry key="environmentName">TRA</entry>
</properties>
At time of parsing XML file ,since my server can not reach java.sun.com , so i had downloaded properties.dtd on my local machine and using xmlcatalog task i am forcing ant script to read local copy of properties.dtd.Below is my ant script
<xmlcatalog id="dtd">
<dtd publicId="SYSTEM" location="/home/tibco/BW-AUTOMATION-
PROJECT/Environments/properties.dtd"/>
</xmlcatalog>
<xmltask source="${TRASoftwareFolder}/TIBCOUniversalInstaller_TRA_5.10.0.silent" dest="${TRASoftwareFolder}/TIBCOUniversalInstaller_TRA_5.10.0.silent">
<xmlcatalog refid="dtd">
</xmlcatalog>
<replace path="/:properties/:entry/:[#key='installationRoot']/text()"
withText="/home/tibco"/>
</xmltask>
But still at time of parsing XML contents , everytime it is going to http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd and i get "Connection Refused Error".
When i did debug i see below which i believe can be issue and it is always going to website instead of local dtd file.
DEBUG LOGS:
"No matching catalog entry found, parser will use: 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd'"
I believe it is because i gave "SYSTEM" as value in "publicId" attribute inside dtd element.
Can you please advise what should be correct value for "publicID" attribute for this given dtd so that it matches catalog at the time of parsing.
If there is another way of reading/replacing this XML file please advise.
Thanks
I want to extract an application version from a DITA map file. The ditamap file is valid and looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">
<map id="user-manual">
<title><ph keyref="product"/> User Manual</title>
<topicmeta>
<prodinfo>
<prodname><keyword keyref="product"/></prodname>
<vrmlist>
<vrm version="4" release="3" modification="0"/>
</vrmlist>
</prodinfo>
</topicmeta>
<!--
[...]
-->
</map>
The information I want to get is in the <vrm> element.
"Easy peasy," I think to myself. So I use Ant's <xmlproperty> task to just load this XML file.
<project default="test">
<!-- notice #validate -->
<xmlproperty file="path/to/user-manual.ditamap" validate="false"/>
<target name="test">
<echo>${map.topicmeta.prodinfo.vrmlist.vrm(version)}</echo>
</target>
</project>
I don't want it to validate because Ant isn't going to find map.dtd.
Loading the file returns an error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/user/user-manual/map.dtd (No such file or directory)
If I remove the <!DOCTYPE> declaration or add a nested <xmlcatalog> with the path to the DTD, the file loads and I can use the properties from it.
I tested this with Ant 1.7.1 and 1.9.4. Is this a bug with Ant, or am I misunderstanding how Ant loads XML properties and the purpose of the validate attribute?
How can I make Ant obey my will?
I recommend to not use the <xmlproperty> for this. Please have a look at the docs:
For example, with semantic attribute processing enabled, this XML
property file:
<root>
<properties>
<foo location="bar"/>
<quux>${root.properties.foo}</quux>
</properties>
</root>
is roughly equivalent to the following fragments in a build.xml file:
<property name="root.properties.foo" location="bar"/>
<property name="root.properties.quux" value="${root.properties.foo}"/>
So the name of the properties you set is generated using their paths to the root element, so they rely on the structure of your DITA Map. But many elements in DITA may be set at different positions on your DITA Map. That means, if you move your metadata to another parent element, the property name changes and your build fails. This is probably not, what you want.
I'd recommend to grab those values via XSLT and than set the properties. That way, you could, for example, say, "give me the first occurance of that element with a simple //foo[1] XPath selector. Further on, you have the power of XSLT and XPath to slice values, format dates and so on before setting a property.
Update
You can use the oops consultancy Ant xmltask for that. It is very easy to set a property using <copy>:
<copy path="//critdates/created/#date"
property="document.date"
append="false"/>
The JUnit official documentation states:
junitreport collects individual xml files generated by the JUnit task using the nested element.
Other part of the same page states:
<junitreport todir="./reports">
<fileset dir="./reports">
<include name="TEST-*.xml"/>
</fileset>
<report format="frames" todir="./report/html"/>
</junitreport>
would generate a TESTS-TestSuites.xml file in the directory reports
and generate the default framed report in the directory report/html.
Let's say, I have file TEST-all.xml generated by junit task in the "reports" directory. I want to use it as data source for junitreport task:
<fileset dir="./reports">
<include name="TEST-all*.xml"/>
</fileset>
I would expect html report based on my data will be generated.
I tried to do it. Empty TESTS-TestSuites.xml file was generated and as a result empty html file.
Two documentation statements I quoted above somehow contradict each other: the first one says it will use already generated files to create a report and the second one says it will generate new file. Can somebody explain how it works? How can I control what data source will be used to generate html report?
Thanks.
Try running ant with -debug. I suspect
<include name="TEST-all*.xml"/>
is not matching any files. Please try with
<fileset dir="./reports">
<include name="TEST-*.xml"/>
</fileset>
Well, I figured out what was the problem: file TEST-all.xml was generated in wrong format. It seems the correct format is:
<testsuite>
<testcase classname="..." name="..." ...>
<properties>
<property name="..."/>
</properties>
</testcase>
</testsuite>
It didn't solve the problem completely though. The html report is still not generated properly:
In spite the fact that file TESTS-TestSuits.xml is not empty now and contains all necessary tests' information, main page of HTML report (index.html) still shows 0 tests.
If I click the link in Tests column (0 in this case) it opens list of tests, but if I try to open individual test in this page, I get "File not found" error.
I suspect the problem is still with the format of TEST-all.xml. I was looking for the description of the format, but found only pieces of information here and there. Any ideas?
I've recently been experimenting with an ANT script for setting up a small application (with various paths and other variables) using AntForm. AntForm has a file selector, but I would have to write something custom to validate the path (i.e., make sure it is the path to the thing that I asked the user for). I was wondering if anyone had experience with using using AntForm in this way. What I want is something like a Wizard page with a file selector, and when the user clicks "next" or when the file is selected some sort of a validation task is executed, and the wizard proceeds from there. The absolute best would be if I could gray out the "next" button or add an "invalid path" message, but that's getting a little complicated for what it seems that AntForm was designed for. Below is an example XML file to get started. Note that it expects AntForm.jar to be in the ./bin directory.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="My App Setup" default="getPath" basedir=".">
<property name="app.dir" value="${user.home}/appXYZ"/>
<path id="runtime.cp">
<pathelement location="bin/"/>
<fileset dir="lib" includes="antform.jar"/>
</path>
<taskdef name="antform" classname="com.sardak.antform.AntForm"
classpathref="runtime.cp"/>
<taskdef name="antmenu" classname="com.sardak.antform.AntMenu"
classpathref="runtime.cp"/>
<!-- test wizard behaviour, step 1 -->
<target name="getPath"
description="Check for App XYZ in path">
<antform title="Choose directory of app xyz"
lookAndFeel="com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel"
okMessage="Next"
nextTarget="wizard2"
>
<fileSelectionProperty
label="App XYZ Distribution"
property="app.dir"
directoryChooser="true" />
<!-- TODO: how to validate and choose where to go from this form? -->
</antform>
</target>
<!-- test wizard behaviour, step 1 -->
<target name="wizard2"
description="continue setup">
<antform title="did we validate?"
lookAndFeel="com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel"

I have a directory tree that I need to process as follows:
I have a certain file that needs to be copied to a select few sub directories
A sub directory of interest is one that contains a file within which I can regex match a known search string
Ideally I would like to:
Perform a regex match across all files within a directory
If the regex matches, copy the file to that directory
The trouble is that I am quite new to ANT and I'm having difficulties finding my way around. I can't find any tasks in the docs about per directory operations based on regex search. The closest thing I've found is a regex replace task (<replaceregexp>) that can search and replace patterns across files.
Is this even possible? I'd really appreciate a sample to get started with. I apologize for requesting code - I simply don't know how to begin composing the tasks together to achieve this.
Alternatively I have the option of hardcoding all the copy operations per directory, but it would mean manually keeping everything in sync as my project grows. Ideally I'd like to automate it based on the regex search/copy approach I described.
Thanks!
Your requirement is a bit non-standard, so I've solved it using a custom Groovy task.
Here's a working example:
<project name="find-files" default="copy-files">
<!--
======================
Groovy task dependency
======================
-->
<path id="build.path">
<pathelement location="jars/groovy-all-1.8.6.jar"/>
</path>
<taskdef name="groovy" classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovy" classpathref="build.path"/>
<!--
=========================
Search for matching files
=========================
-->
<target name="search-files">
<fileset id="filesContainingSearchString" dir="src">
<include name="**/*.txt"/>
<containsregexp expression="[4-6]\.[0-9]"/>
</fileset>
</target>
<!--
===================================
Copy file into each directory found
===================================
-->
<target name="copy-files" depends="search-files">
<groovy>
project.references.filesContainingSearchString.each { file ->
def dir = new File(file.toString()).parent
ant.copy(file:"fileToBeCopied.txt", toDir:dir)
}
</groovy>
</target>
</project>
Notes:
Groovy jar can be downloaded from Maven Central
Use the copy task with a fileset and regular expression selector :
<copy todir="your/target/dir">
<fileset dir="rootdir/of/your/directorytree" includes="**/*.txt">
<containsregexp expression="[4-6]\.[0-9]"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
This example is taken from the ant manual and slightly adapted.
Means select all files with .txt extension anywhere beyond rootdir/of/your/directorytree that match the regular expression (have a 4,5 or 6 followed by a period and a number from 0 to 9) and copy them to your/target/dir.
Just adapt it for your needs.
