How do we decompress TGZ file with Ant on Windows machine? I have been trying:
<gunzip src="${ARTIFACT}/${platform}.tgz"/>
<untar src="${ARTIFACT}/${platform}.tar" dest="${InstallDir}.${LICLIENT_VERSION}.test"/>
But it does not work.
Try something like this
<target name="unpack">
<untar src="test.tar.gz" dest="test" compression="gzip"/>
</target>

How does one get the full physical path of the .sln file when scripting in MSBuild?
I'm trying to force nuget to download packages using:
<Target Name="BeforeCompileConfiguration">
<Exec Command=""$(ToolsHome)NuGet\NuGet.exe" restore "$(SolutionRoot)\KK\MyProject.sln"" />
</Target>
KK is the name of the folder that the .sln file is under. I'd like to replace
$(SolutionRoot)\KK\MyProject.sln
with a single $() build property.
$(SolutionPath)
should do your job!
By the way it's equivalent to:
$(SolutionDir)$(SolutionFileName)
How can I use Ant to execute each php file in a directory? The output for the php execution should overwrite the original file.
The directory is on a localhost webserver with php installed. I assume the solution would involve GET and have src point to the http equivalent of each file.
Some dynamic version of
c:/webroot/php/file1.php
c:/webroot/php/file2.php
translate into
get src="localhost/php/file1.php"
get src="localhost/php/file2.php"
and then have the output overwrite itself.
Why not use the php command line combined with the ANT apply task?
Something like:
<apply executable="C:\PHP5\php.exe">
<arg value="-f"/>
<fileset dir="c:/webroot/php" includes="*.php"/>
</apply>
It's not clear to me why you want to overwrite your source files....
Update
Alternatively use an embedded groovy script
<fileset id="phpfiles" dir="c:/webroot/php" includes="*.php"/>
<groovy>
project.references.phpfiles.each {
def file = new File(it.toString())
ant.get(src:"http://localhost/php/${file.name}", dest:"output/${file.name}")
}
</groovy>
I have an Ant task that FTPs all files in a specified directory, and it uses a fileset:
<fileset dir="${publicDirectory}">
<include name="media/**/*" />
</fileset>
I have a file that contains all the files that I would like to include:
media/some/dir/1.txt
media/some/other/2.txt
...
How can I have the fileset read the file and only include whatever I've listed there?
I've tried quite a few things, but nothing seems to be able to get around a basic issue: The <ftp> task works only on filesets and not other types of resources. I've tried various filterchains, but to no avail.
The best I could come up with was using the Ant-Contrib <for> or <foreach> task to loop through the file and then use an <exec> task to execute the command line version of ftp.
I'd like to create a temporary directory in ant (version 1.6.5) and assign it to a property.
The command "mktemp -d" would be ideal for this, but I cannot find similar functionality from inside ant
I can't find any official function in the docs apart from the tempfile task which apparently only creates files, not directories.
I'm considering using exec to call tempfile and get the result, however this will make my build.xml dependent on UNIX/linux, which I'd like to avoid.
Background: I'm trying to speed up an existing build process which builds inside networked filesystem. The build already copies all the source to a temporary directory, however this is on the same filesystem. I've tested changing this to /tmp/foo and it gives a worthwhile speed increase: 3mins vs 4mins.
You could combine the tempfile task with the java.io.tmpdir system property to get a file path to use to create a temporary dir:
<project default="test">
<target name="test">
<echo>${java.io.tmpdir}</echo>
<tempfile property="temp.file" destDir="${java.io.tmpdir}" prefix="build"/>
<echo>${temp.file}</echo>
</target>
</project>
Note that the tempfile task does not create the file (unless you ask it to). It just sets a property which you can use to create a file or dir.
This task sets a property to the name of a temporary file. Unlike
java.io.File.createTempFile, this task does not actually create the
temporary file, but it does guarantee that the file did not exist when
the task was executed.
Output in my environment:
test:
[echo] C:\Users\sudocode\AppData\Local\Temp\
[echo] C:\Users\sudocode\AppData\Local\Temp\build1749402932
The answer above only hints at how to create a temporary directory. The point is that merely returns a string. A more complete answer is
<target name="temptest" description="test making tempdir">
<tempfile property="mytempdir" destdir="${java.io.tmpdir}"/>
<tempfile property="mytempfile" destdir="${mytempdir}"/>
<tstamp>
<format property="now" pattern="MMMM dd yyyy"/>
</tstamp>
<copy tofile="${mytempfile}">
<string value="today=${now}"/>
</copy>
<property file="${mytempfile}"/>
<echo message="It it now ${today}"/>
</target>
I'm trying to use Nant to compile an ASP.NET MVC app, so far my build script just runs ms build and runs some other tasks, however I want my compiled files to be put in a "build" directory, how can I tell msbuild where to put the compiled files?
Looking here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164311.aspx
it specifies that you can set msbuild to override the output dir setting in your project file, like so:
/properties:OutputDir=bin\Debug
Is this what you want?
you can put this in your project file (or in an imported project file if you want reuse), it will override both the path for the executable/dll and the path where the .obj files etc go.
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputPath>c:\bin</OutputPath>
<BaseIntermediateOutputPath>c:\temp\$(AssemblyName)</BaseIntermediateOutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>
If you are using the <msbuild> task from NAntContrib, then you can set the OutputDir property like this:
<msbuild project="path-to-sln-or-csproj-or-msbuild" target="Build">
<properties>
<property name="OutputDir" value="build-outdir-dir" />
</properties>
</msbuild>
