problems with current working directory and

[ma...@mdumontier.com]

Hi,

I've setup my project with cruisecontrol, so that my build.xml gets called
from a parent directory.

The problem is that my unit tests that have relative paths in them all
fail now because the current working directory is not the project root
anymore.

Is there anyway to change directories from within ant? or what would be
the right solution to this problem.

thanks,
Marc Dumontier

Have you tried playing around with the antworkingdir property in your CruiseControl config.xml file?  Maybe have it point to your parent directory and then put a sub-directory in the buildfile property.

How is your build.xml called exactly?

If you use <ant> task, note that it has two important
attribuites:
[quote from Ant manual of <ant> task]
antfile - the buildfile to use. Defaults to
"build.xml". This file is expected to be a filename
relative to the dir attribute given.  

dir - the directory to use as a *basedir* for the new
Ant project. Defaults to the current *project's
basedir*, unless inheritall has been set to false, in
which case it doesn't have a default value. This will
override the basedir setting of the called project.
[end of qoute]

So if you want to reset the basedir of the subbuild
(the one called with <ant>) you do the following:
<ant dir="the_dir_of_subbuild" file="sub_build_file">

The directory against which the files used in
sub_build_file will be the_dir_of_subbuild. In short
you need to specify it in "dir" attribute of <ant>
task.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Ivan
