Re: ant script just hang when checking out of CVS [Similar problem with cvstagdiff]
I am not certain why the cvstagdiff was hanging, but I was able to achieve the same functionality that I was looking for by using the CVS task and passing it the "diff" as a command line option. For example:
<cvs dest="${cvs.checkout.dir}" output="${cvs.checkout.dir}/out1.txt" error="${cvs.checkout.dir}/out2.txt">
<commandline>
<argument line="diff --brief"/>
</commandline>
</cvs>
That is good enough for what I am trying to do; plus since I am using the cvs task instead of the exec task, I am assuming that my ANT script should be platform independent (i.e. run on both windows and unix).
Thanks for your help,
-Saladin

Nothing that looks unusual there. The cvs command was forked, and the
stream pumper on another thread is reading the output of the command.
In the past (months? years?), some people complained cvstagdiff was
taking an inordinate amount of time compared to the same command on
the command line. You haven't said anything on how long the command
takes on the CLI, and whether this time changes or not with <exec>.
You could try testing on a smaller repo or inside a subset of your
repo.
If someone the command slows down, how long have you waited before
asserting it hangs? Doing the test on a very small repo might allow it
to complete in a "reasonnable" time.
Also, try thread dumps at different times, to see if you can get a
different stack-trace.

I'd try CVSNT. I've always used it on Windows, and used to do
cvstagdiff with it (a long time ago). I get it from TortoiseCVS,
rather than the CVSNT stand-alone install.

I'm running out of ideas. If nothing works, modify cvstagdiff to work
off a cvs diff file output separately by a different command, and
combine it with an <exec>.
There's a remote possibility that your server outputs something that
throws off the parsing code of cvstagdiff, but the thread dump does
not point to such an issue. --DD

RE: ant script just hang when checking out of CVS [Similar
problem with cvstagdiff]
Posted by "Anderson, Rob (Global Trade)" <Ro...@nike.com>.
Your assumtion is not entirely correct. While the cvs task should work
on all platforms that have cvs installed, it is not a java
implementation of CVS functionality. The CVS task is a wrapper task,
that calls the cvs binary. Therefore, cvs must be present and on your
PATH in order for this task to work. Unlike the scp task, for example,
where you do not need to have scp installed and on your PATH.
