stopping an 

Does anyone know how to stop the processing of an <exec>.
My <exec> kicks off a <javac> in another build.xml file.  If
<javac> reports errors, I'd like the calling exec to stop execution
and anything passed that exec to also stop.  If you haven't already
guest, I've got a build.xml that controls the execution of other
XML files via the <exec> task.  I tried the failonerror flag on both
tasks, but it dosen't work.  I don't believe that javac returns
anything, and that may be the reason.

Ok,

I'll give it a try.  I didn't know I could do this.
I now see that the ANT task says you can do
this( "used to build subprojects" ).

So I'll try the following in my main XML file:
<target name="A">
    <ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>
<target name="B" depends="A">
    <ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>
<target name="C" depends="B">
    <ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>

or maybe

<target>
    <ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
    <ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
    <ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>


Thanks again T Master,
-Joe

Joe,

I do the same interface, having a main build file to kick off the individual
build files.

Use the code I sent you before in each target.

Don't use exec!!!!

Look in the manual too.

Ah yes.  I'm new to ANT and didn't know I could do this until
yesterday.  I totally missed that in the documetation.  I'll give
that a try today.

Thanks Hakan,

I use the (default) build.xml for this purpose. 
The way you call other xml files is like this:

  <target name="javadoc">
    <ant antfile="make/thisone.xml" target="javadoc"/>
  </target>

So this will call ant to build the thisone.xml, with the specific target of 
javadoc. If this fails, the whole build will fail. So I believe what you want 
is this.

Hi T Master,

I'm new to "ANT".  I've only been using it for about 3 days.
I've got all of my individual XML files done, but was thinking
I could create a main XML file to kicj off all of the other XML
files.  A sort of controller XML file.  I thought I'd use the <exec>
task within a <target> task for each XML file I wanted to run,
and that worls fine.  The probelm is thast if 1 of the <exec>'d XML
files has a compile( javac ) error, I'd like processing of the main
XMLfile to stop.  I can't find a way to make the stop happen.
I haven't tried using <ant> tasks within a <target> task, but will
give it a try.  I'll let you know what happens, unless you can tell
me that provessing will not stop this way either.


Thanks for answering my post T Master,
-Joe

RE: stopping an - vs.

Posted by Magnús Þór Torfason <ma...@handtolvur.is>.
I think I must add to this an important note regarding the <ant> task.  It
does not seem to handle directories correctly.  Consider the following
build.xml file

<project name="call-bin-build" default="exec-bin-build" basedir=".">
	<target name="exec-bin-build">
		<exec executable="ant.bat" dir="bin"/>
	</target>
	<target name="ant-bin-build">
		<ant antfile="build.xml" dir="bin"/>
	</target>
</project>

and the output when calling these two targets, first with exec

C:\project>ant exec-bin-build
Buildfile: build.xml
exec-bin-build:
     [exec] Buildfile: build.xml
     [exec]
     [exec] init:
     ...
     [exec]     [junit] Running com.handpoint.util.registry.test.JRegTest
     [exec]     [junit] Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed:
0,03 sec
     [exec] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
     [exec]
     [exec] Total time: 5 seconds
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

and then with the ant task

C:\project>ant ant-bin-build
Buildfile: build.xml
ant-bin-build:
init:
...
    [junit] Running com.handpoint.util.registry.test.RegTest
    [junit] Tests run: 2, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0,03 sec
BUILD FAILED

Note that the bin-build fails when using the ant call, but it is successful
when using an exec call !

Why are you using <exec> to call other buildfiles?
use <ant>:
        <ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">

Unless of course, this is the way you want....
