Linux - Environment Variable (AF_HOME)

I am having an issue with one specific environment variable
when running on Linux. The same exact thing is tested on
Windows without a problem.

I have the environment variable AF_HOME set and 
for testing purposes I also set the variable AFHOME
to the same value.

The AF_HOME value does not show up, it never translates
from ${env.AF_HOME} and will create a directory called
just that when used later in the build process.


Here's my test target from my build.xml file:

<property environment="env"/>
<target name="test">
    <echo>
        env.AF_HOME = ${env.AF_HOME}
        -------------------------------------
        env.AFHOME = ${env.AFHOME}
        -------------------------------------
        env.TOMCAT_HOME = ${env.TOMCAT_HOME}
    </echo>
</target>


Running ant returns:
(I have a script that checks for the env. vars and 
echos what it finds... then spans ant)

 ./ant.sh test
Using TOMCAT_HOME = /usr/local/tomcat
Using AF_HOME = /usr/local/tomcat
Usinf AFHOME = /usr/local/tomcat

Buildfile: build.xml

test:
     [echo] 
        env.AF_HOME = ${env.AF_HOME}
        -------------------------------------
        env.AFHOME = /usr/local/tomcat
        -------------------------------------
        env.TOMCAT_HOME = /usr/local/tomcat

Have you tried ant -debug to see if the environment variables are being
properly internalized to the project properties?

Re: Linux - Environment Variable (AF_HOME)

Posted by Diane Holt <ho...@yahoo.com>.
What's "ant.sh" -- is that a wrapper-script you have on top of the 'ant'
script?  You must be losing the setting of AF_HOME somewhere along the
line.  Try modifying the 'ant' script (in $ANT_HOME/bin) to include an
'echo AF_HOME is $AF_HOME' just before the 'java' command-line and see if
it's really still set in that shell.
