Problem with Ant P4 Task

["Draes, Daniel" <Da...@hilti.com>]

Hi Ant users,

I hope to find some help here. Currently I tried to update a Manifest file with the current revision out of our perforce versioning system. If the manifest file get's opened for edit and submitted, the file content will change as it should. Now I would like to use this in my ant-script to automatically get a new 'build' number for the jar-file.

Here is the part of my buildfile:

	<target name="update_manifest">
		<property name="p4.globalopts" value="-P xxxxxxxx"/>
		<property name="p4.client" value="zzzz"/>
		<property name="p4.user" value="yyyyyy"/>
		<property name="p4.port" value="host:1667"/>
		<property name="p4.change" value=""/>
		
		<p4change description="Change Build Number in Script"/>
		<echo message="changeno: ${p4.change}"></echo>
		<p4edit
		   	view="//cid_dev/java_src/MANIFEST.MF"
			change="${p4.change}"
		    globalopts="${p4.globalopts}"/>
		<echo message="changeno: ${p4.change}"></echo>
		<p4submit change="${p4.change}" globalopts="${p4.globalopts}"/>
     </target>

This does unfortunatly not work. The p4change-command does not set the p4.change-property as it should the echo reads as:
[echo] changeno: 

And obviously the edit and submit tasks fail as well. If I remove the change attribute from the edit-task, the file will be opened for edit under the default change in perforce. But I cannot submit it.

I am using ANT 1.7.0 within Eclipse.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I was using Google but could only find old messages related to ANT 1.4 / 1.6.

Best regards,

Daniel

Re: Problem with Ant P4 Task

Hi,

I am also in a similar situation.  I found that the p4change task does not
set the p4.change property when I run the build from a linux host, but it
works fine when run from a Windows host.  This causes the build to fail
because we cannot checkin files without the property being set.

Does anyone have a workaround?  

Thanks,
KaJun
