[jira] Created: (BEEHIVE-675) Build fails if folder path in build.properties uses backslash

Build fails if folder path in build.properties uses backslash
-------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: BEEHIVE-675
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-675
     Project: Beehive
        Type: Bug
  Components: Documentation  
    Versions: V1    
    Reporter: Rebecca Weinhold


bash05102005

In Step 1 (under the heading "Edit the build.properties File") of the Controls tutorial, the user is to "Edit the beehive.home property so it points to the top-level folder of your beehive installation."  If the user enters this folder path as "C:\apache\apache-beehive-1.0" instead of "C:/apache/apache-beehive-1.0", the build fails when they perform "ant clean" in Step 2, under the heading "To Compile and Deploy the Control".

The failure mentions that the file "C:apacheapache-beehive-1.0/beehive-imports.xml" cannot be found, so it seems that backslashes are simply not recognized by Ant.  This requirement of using forward slashes should be specified in the tutorial, as it is likely to come up for Windows users.

[jira] Updated: (BEEHIVE-675) Build fails if folder path in build.properties uses backslash

Posted by "Eddie O'Neil (JIRA)" <be...@incubator.apache.org>.

Eddie O'Neil updated BEEHIVE-675:
---------------------------------

      Assign To: Steve Hanson
    Fix Version: V1

The issue here is that Java .properties files need to have '\' escaped correctly as '\\', so if there is need to define a path with win32 slashes, it needs to be :

  c:\\apache\\apache-beehive-1.0

which Ant (and Java) should handle correctly.

This is why Ant files tend to default to:

  c:/apache/apache-beehive-1.0

because Ant does the right thing depending on the platform.

One option here woudld be to just point to the Ant documentation for how to define properties files.
