how to build/test Ant from CVS?

[Erik Hatcher <ja...@ehatchersolutions.com>]

Still haven't ironed out the problem.... here's what I'm getting:

C:\jakarta\jakarta-ant>ant
run-single-test -Dtestcase=org.apache.tools.taskdefs.
optional.PropertyFileTest
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

check_for_optional_packages:

build:
     [copy] Copying 2 files to C:\jakarta\jakarta-ant\build\classes

compile-tests:

run-single-test:

BUILD FAILED

C:\jakarta\jakarta-ant\build.xml:752: Test
org.apache.tools.taskdefs.optional.Pr
opertyFileTest failed

Total time: 2 seconds

Here's my envrironment (from a setenv.bat I created):

set ant_home=c:\ant
set classpath=
set path=c:\ant\bin

This seems to mirror the configuration Levi posted.   And yes,
PropertyFileTest.class exists in the right place :)

It seems odd to me to run the 1.4 version of Ant though.   Shouldn't I run
with no classpath, no path, and no ant_home set using build.bat?   Like
this:

    build
run-single-test -Dtestcase=org.apache.tools.taskdefs.optional.PropertyFileTe
st

I'm getting the same error in both cases.   Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, I just don't see it yet.

Thanks
