problem with cvs task
I am having a problem using the cvs task on a windows2000 machine. I am
simply trying to check out code. Here is a snippet from my ant file
<target name = "checkOutForBuild">
<mkdir dir="${build.dist}/src" />
<cvs cvsRoot="${build.cvsRoot}"
package="${build.cvsModule}"
dest="${build.dist}/src}" />
</target>
The error I get is:
C:\javaDev\projects\antFiles\prod.xml:28: java.io.IOException:
CreateProcess: cvs -d c:/cvs checkout com error=267
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Cvs.execute(Cvs.java:221)
It seems that there is a problem with the "exec" call. I know this is more
a java/OS problem than an ant problem but has anyone else seen this? Any
idea what error=267 refers to? My cvs repository is on a windows machine and
maybe this happens because cvs for windows is not stable? Any ideas would be
very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the help. Yes cvs is in my path. As for the cvs root I am a bit
confused. I am not using pserver(I do plan on this eventually but for now I
am trying to get things to work on a single machine). I am running ant on
the same windows 2000 machine as my cvs repository and my cvs repository is
in c:/cvs .I should be able to use both
hostName:c/cvs
or simply
c:/cvs
as cvsRoot and it should work. I am not an expert at cvs installation and I
did install this myself so maybe I do need to configure cvs?
commands such as:
cvs co moduleName
and
cvs update -A
work just fine but the following command
cvs -d hostName:c/cvs checkout com doesn't work. It complains about rsh not
being able to establish a connection but cvs -d c:/cvs checkout com works
just fine manually. I think that the fact that it cannot connect to the host
should not bother the ant cvs process especially if I set the cvsRoot to
c:/cvs?

By directory do you mean the cvs module I am checking out or the cvs root
directory? I am assuming error=267 is a windows error and so that means the
cvsRoot?

Just FYI: error=267 means the directory name is invalid (if the error
number had been 2, that'd point to the exe not being found in PATH).

Re: problem with cvs task

Thanks. I did the following . I defined a new property in my build file
<property name="testCvsRoot" location="C:/cvs" />
and I also tried
<property name="testCvsRoot" location="C:\cvs" />
and
<property name="testCvsRoot" location="c:/cvs" />
and changed my target to
<target name = "checkOutForBuild">
<mkdir dir="${build.dist}/src" />
<cvs cvsRoot="${testCvsRoot}"
package="${build.cvsModule}"
dest="${build.dist}/src}" />
and ran ant in verbose mode but I still got the same error all three times.

Re: problem with cvs task

It's certainly cvs for NT. I have done -version from the DOS command line ,
from CYGWIN and from ant and its the same cvs. Also using local:c:/cvs as
cvsRoot didn't help. I also tried leaving out cvs root and no success. I
know cvs for NT isn't exactly the best cvs version so I will try moving my
repository over to the CYGWIN cvs and see what happens. I will post the
results after I have had a chance to do this, probably on monday. Thanks for
the help, I do appreciate it.

Can you verify that, using the <cvs> task to run 'cvs -version'?
Have you tried using the Cygwin 'cvs' (assuming it's not actually the one
already being used)?
Also, have you tried not even specifying 'cvsroot'?

I tried the cygdrive suggestion but nothing changed. I am using cvs for NT
which I installed myself and I know thats where the path is pointing too
though windows sometimes behaves in strange ways and perhaps it defaults to
the cygwin cvs somehow? . I also then tried running ant from the DOS prompt
again with testCVsRoot set to both Windows and UNIX syntax and same error.

Right, you should, theoretically, be able to do that and every task will
be happy, but you may be bumping up against a bug.
Just for kicks just try setting your build.cvsRoot property in your build
file, using the 'location' attribute. Then run Ant with -verbose again on
that target to see if the directory has the right form for Win*, and
whether that clears up the problem. If it was the problem, then we know we
need to fix the <cvs> task, and you can go back to not having to define it
specifically for Win*. If doing that doesn't have any effect and you still
get the error, then we've at least eliminated that possibility.

Re: problem with cvs task

The c:/cvs is because I am using CYGWIN to run ant so I can use everything
UNIX on my windows box. I think the / is okay because its fine for all the
hundreds of other properties I am setting in my ant scripts. I simply read
the cvsRoot value from a properties file for example my properties file
contains
build.cvsRoot = c:/cvs
build.cvsModule = com
and then I use the values in the cvs task for the dest and package
attributes so I don't use either the location or value attributes of
Property at all (see below). Thanks for your help, it does really help
narrowing the problem to cvsRoot.
<target name = "checkOutForBuild" unless="build.src.present">
<mkdir dir="${build.dist}/src" />
<cvs cvsRoot="${build.cvsRoot}"
package="${build.cvsModule}"
dest="${build.dist}/src}" />----- Original Message -----

To the directory name being invalid.
I'm surprised to see "c:/cvs" in the command-line -- I would've thought
the path would've been changed to Win* backslashes (and a capitol C). But
maybe the <cvs> task expects the path to already be resolved to the right
OS type. How are you setting the property that holds the "c:/cvs", with
the 'value' or the 'location' attribute? If it's 'value', try using
'location' instead.
