maven-antrun-plugin exec task. Windows. Can't leave process running
in the background.
Hi folks,
I'm trying to introduce automated integration testing for our
application. I successfully integrated the cargo plugin to get our product
deployed and started within a fresh jboss installation as part of
pre-integration-test phase. Alas in order for our integration tests to work
we need to connect to an external 3rd party service that itself needs to be
running before the jboss server tries to boot.
The following is the pom snippet I was hoping to use to perform this task.
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-test-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<exec executable="startExternalService.cmd"/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
Alas the maven process seems to hang until the external process is exited
while I need it to continue running in the background to allow my jboss
server to come up.
I had orginally encountered the same problem with the Jboss server as
obviously you need to kick it off and then once it's up you would run the
tests. Again the mvn process would just hang there. then I stumbled across
cargo and they've a very handy element called <wait>false</wait> that can be
introduced to the cargo plugin's configuration element and it prevents maven
from blocking on the jboss server. This allows you to kick off other
executions but only within the same phase it seems.
I think this problem may be associated solely with windows as I believe
though I haven't tested it that the ampersand '&' in linux will instruct the
process to run in the background allowing the maven process to continue.
Basically if anyone has managed to leave a process running on a windows
machine detached from the maven process and continue with the build I'd love
the heads up on how to.
Thanks,
Mark.

Hi Siegfried,
You sir, are what we commonly refer to in Ireland as a Legend!!! A
total ledgebox!! I cannot thank you enough. That has made my day and works a
charm. I thank you kindly.
Regards,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
have you tried the "spawn"attribute of the Ant <exec> task?
