Style Task problems - no output no error messages.
I have an interesting problem with the Style task - no output, no error
messages.
Now I know the Style task works in my setup because I have it working
with the CVS Changelog.xsl file. My problem is with an XSL file that
I've written. The interesting thing is this xsl file works when I use
the Xalan org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process program, so I am assuming that
my xsl file is well structured.
Here is my build.xml file
<project name="xslt" default="dostyle" basedir=".">
<target name="dostyle">
<style in="filecab.xml"
out="filecab.html"
style="filecab.xsl" >
</style>
</target>
</project>
The following shows the behavior of running Ant with and without the
files existing. Lastly it shows the effect of running the
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process program. I have verified that the exact
same jar files are in the $ANT_HOME\lib directory as are in the Xalan
directory.
I am running Ant 1.5.1, Xalan-j 2.4.1 with Java 1.4.0 on Windows NT 4,
service pack 6.
As I stated, I know the Style task can work because I have it working
with the CVS Changelog.xsl transform. I also have the JUnitReport
transformations working.
I am completely baffled. Especially by the lack of error messages if the
files do not exist. Any thoughts?

Sorry, I just sent a reply to your first post before I noticed this one.
But I would say the same thing -- run the target in the location where you
were with -debug or -verbose and see if you get any exception or stack
trace.

Well I have the answer to my problem.
The directory I was doing my work in was a network drive. When I moved
the files to the local disk, the Style task started working! Now if
someone can supply an answer to the question as to why Style would have
problems processing files from a network drive, I would be very interested.

Hi Erik,
Try running your build script with -verbose and see what you get. If that
doesn't give you more info, try -debug. I wouldn't venture a guess without
more info. If you get some from using these flags with Ant, let us know
what happens.
Best,
Scott Stirling
