Thanks for the helping debug this.

Indeed it is (after examining build/bot/projects/...).

Yep.

It's correct:

jeff@expresso:~$ ls  /home/jeff/testproj
acorn.xml  src  status.xml  testproj.conf.xml

That's good to know, but I was playing safe and doing 'rm -r build' between
builds anyway. Confirmed again today.

Aha.. hehe.. ahahaha.. Houston, you have a problem.. :)

Are you using Forrest's docs in a different directory to test Forrestbot? Then
it will be using files from xml-forrest/ and you'd never be able to tell the
difference :)

I used acorn.xml to generate a basic, known-to-build, doc setup.  If I swap the
acorn-generated content for xml-forrest/src/documentation, then it all builds
fine with forrestbot.

Attached is a .tgz of the context I'm trying to build with Forrestbot, that
should show up the problem.

I did not need that line because i had a <defaults>
section with <project-dir name="." />
I will tweak the your-project.xml doc to have a complete
minimal example, rather than just the <project> snippet.

That was the line I was missing. Added it and everything is now fine.

Attached is a patch for your-project.xml.

Thanks for your and David's help :)

Jeff,

not fully understanding what you see (and missing the tgz)
I just tried this from scratch:
(assuming current working dir ==
root-of-your-xml-forrest-cvs-sandbox)

$ cvs update -dP
$ mkdir ../acorn-test
$ pushd ../acorn-test
$ cp [path-to-it]/acorn.xml .
$ ant -f acorn.xml -Dforrest.home=../xml-forrest
create-xdocs create-status
$ popd
$ vi acornbot.conf.xml
slide in:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<forrest-config>
  <defaults />
  <project name="acorn-test">
    <prepare>
        <skin name="forrest-site"/>
    </prepare>
    <get-src type="local-copy">
      <project-dir name="../acorn-test" />
      <content-dir name="../acorn-test/src/documentation"/>
    </get-src>
    <generate>
      <debuglevel name="ERROR" />
    </generate>
    <deploy type="local-copy">
      <destination name="../acorn-test/forrest-docs/" />
    </deploy>
  </project>
</forrest-config>

$  ./build.sh
bot -Dbot.forrestbot.xconf=acornbot.conf.xml -Dtemplate.echo
=true

and this works fine.

naah,
we use forrestbot to build loads of other things:
50% from the list at
http://outerthought.net/forrest/live-sites.html
i.e. http://outerthought.net/ and http://www.xmlbelux.be/
are built using the bot...
so we _can_ tell the difference :-)
(and you see it _is_ used for other sites then
xml.apache.org, that one not even.)

as would the opposite, provided that you tell the bot where
to find the acorn-generated content
please check your-botconf.xml
(mind for gets-src.local-copy the content-dir is not
evaluated as relative to the project-dir, should it?)

if you can't find something wrong:
 - run with -Dtemplate.echo=true
 - attach the ./build/bot/work.[your-project-name].log and
the conf in your next message
