immutable property
As stated in the ANT doc:
Properties are immutable: whoever sets a property first freezes it for the
rest of the build; they are most definately not variable.
There are six ways to set properties:
* By supplying both the name and value attribute...."
I am setting in prepare, but when I call another target it does not have the
info:
<target name="prepare">
<!-- Create all the time & date stamps for the build and for the
directories
-->
<tstamp/>
<property name="FTSTAMP"
value="${DSTAMP}-${TSTAMP}"/>
<!-- Make all the directories after getting the
label from StarTeam
-->
<mkdir
dir="${drive}\${buildir}\${label}-${FTSTAMP}"/>
<mkdir
dir="${drive}\${buildir}\${label}-${FTSTAMP}\${brlabel}-${FTSTAMP}"/>
<property name="local.dist"
value="${drive}\${buildir}\${label}-${FTSTAMP}\${brlabel}-${FTSTAMP}"/>
<target name="CopyBRBuildArtifacts">
<description>
Target: This target copies the BR images
to the build directory.
</description>
<echo message="CopyBRBuildArtifacts local.dist:
${local.dist}"/>
<echo message="CopyBRBuildArtifacts FTSTAMP:
${FTSTAMP}"/>
As per ANT output:
CopyBRBuildArtifacts:
[echo] CopyBRBuildArtifacts local.dist: ${local.dist}
[echo] CopyBRBuildArtifacts FTSTAMP: ${FTSTAMP}
prepare:
[mkdir] Created dir: D:\br_builds\testlabel-20041103-1612
[mkdir] Created dir:
D:\br_builds\testlabel-20041103-1612\brtestlabel-20041103-1612
[echo] Prepare local.dist:
d:\br_builds\testlabel-20041103-1612\brtestlabel-20041103-1612
[echo] Prepare: 20041103-1612
I must be missing something, or is this a 1.6.2 problem, or has anyone seen
this issue?
I did this in 1.5.2, and it worked, but????
Does any one have an idea?
Thanks in advance!

It is incorrect. Properties exist only within a scope of the current
project (<ant>, <antcall>, and others create new subprojects).

This is not quite correct. If you make the "CopyBRBuildArtifacts" target
depend on the "prepare" target, then the *project-wide* properties, once
created by prepare, would be still available to CopyBRBuildArtifacts.
Do like: <target name="CopyBRBuildArtifacts" depends="prepare">
The ordering of your target execution seems wrong.

Properties only exist within the scope of the parent tag (in this case
in the target you declared it in). You have to explicitly pass it to
a new target.

I think you execute the targets in the opposite order. Please add
dependency on "prepare" in CopyBRBuildArtifacts target.
