Continu exec task, while leaving ant

[jantje]

Hi there, is it possible to start (in ant) something in a shell and let this running, while stopping ant. f.i:

  <target name="emulateProjectIso" depends="license, testIsoExists" description="Emulate the project iso" unless="file.exists">
    <echo level="warning" message="Not supported when booting from live cd"/>
    <exec executable="/bin/bash" failonerror="true">
      <arg value="-c" />
      <arg value="qemu -no-kqemu -m 512 -cdrom ${basedir}/build/liveCd/iso/project-r*.iso"/>
    </exec>
  </target>

So "ant emulateProjectIso" starts, thr program qemu eulates the cd.. qemu is still running, but ant has stopped..

[Olivier Gies]

Use the "spawn" and "fork" attributes of <exec> task (see Ant User manual
for usage)

Thanks, but the <exec/> task does not have an fork attribute in the documentation. And when just implementing this, I get the next error:

BUILD FAILED
/home/afstudeerwerk/project/build.xml:194: exec doesn't support the "fork" attribute

That's right sorry, I'm too much used to the <java> task, never realized
that <exec> had such problem ...

<forget> form ant-contrib seems to do the trick indeed.

Thanks.

But I have problems installing ant-contrib, from the website:
      grab the ant-contrib module from CVS

There is no CVS, when clicking on it. Then I have found "ant-contrib-0.3.jar" this somewhere on the internet. I have placed this in /usr/local/apache-ant/lib/

And have added this to build.xml:
      <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>

So, no trying to use the forget task:
      <target name="emulateProjectIso" depends="license, testIsoExists" description="Emulate the project iso" unless="file.exists">
        <forget>
          <exec executable="/bin/bash" failonerror="true">
            <arg value="-c" />
            <arg value="qemu -no-kqemu -m 512 -cdrom ${basedir}/build/liveCd/iso/project-r*.iso;"/>
          </exec>
       </forget>
      </target>

But got the error:
      /home/afstudeerwerk/project/build.xml:225: Problem: failed to create task or type For
      Cause: The name is undefined.
      Action: Check the spelling.
      Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
      Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.


It is hard to install this. Can someone help? Thanks..

Gotcha :-)
Wrong version, 0.3 is rather old, but still mentioned on the ant contrib
site.

Grab version 1.0b2 or 1.0b3 from [1] and use the antlib.xml, like
that =

when antcontrib.jar in %ANT_HOME%/lib

<!-- Import AntContrib -->
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" />

or located elsewhere

Thanks! The <forget/> -task works now.. f.i.
    <forget>
      <echo message="test"/>
    </forget>

However, when using it with the <exec/> -task, I get no error and it does nothing (Is there a way to solve it?) [PS: the echo message is also not displaying. Still I get the BUILD SUCCESFULL back]:
    <forget>
      <exec executable="/bin/bash" failonerror="true">
        <arg value="-c" />
        <arg value="qemu -no-kqemu -m 512 -cdrom ${basedir}/build/liveCd/iso/project.iso;"/>
      </exec>
      <echo message="test"/>

if that doesn't work either, it's most likely a problem

Is the bash your login shell ?
Did you try the exec a shell ?

Thanks..

I have tryes all your options: nothing worked. And yes, bash is my login shell.. Other exec commands work, f.i. starting apache-tomcat.. And the line with "-c qemu..." does work, so no problem with rights I think..

Are we missing something?

Try  to run  the antscript with root account or
maybe with <exec  arg ... sudo>

Did you try the apache-tomcat call within <exec>  ?

What about catching the output f.e.

<exec executable="bash" failonerror="true"
 outputproperty="result" resultproperty="rc.ant">
 <arg value="ant -diagnostics" />
</exec>

or
...
<arg value="du -hs /tmp" />
...

Use outputproperty and resultproperty with your call and tell
us what comes back, we need the output and RC

As you're already using antcontrib you may use the
<shellscript> task, but under the hood it's nearly the
same, means if your command doesn't work with <exec>
it won't work with <shellscript> either.

Thanks for your reply,

I will try to answer your questions:

<exec/> works with apache tomcat AND with qemu, I came to this conclusion after doing some tests.. They do not work, when they are in <forget/> from ant-contrib, so this does not work:
    <forget>
      <exec executable="bash" failonerror="true">
        <arg value="-c" />
        <arg value="apache-tomcat start;"/>
      </exec>
    </forget>
    RESULT: "BUILD SUCCESFUL", nothing else..

And this does work:
    <exec executable="bash" failonerror="true">
      <arg value="-c" />
      <arg value="apache-tomcat start;"/>
    </exec>

While <forget/> works with f.i. <echo/>
    <forget>
      <echo>Test!</echo>
    </forget>

Like you suggested: It does not work with <exec/> and also not with <shellscript/> (from ant-contrib)

And here is the output you asked for:

Subject: RE: Continu exec task, while leaving ant

/*
Thanks..

I have tryes all your options: nothing worked. And yes, bash is my login
shell.. Other exec commands work, f.i. starting apache-tomcat.. And the
line
with "-c qemu..." does work, so no problem with rights I think..

Are we missing something?
*/

Try  to run  the antscript with root account or
maybe with <exec  arg ... sudo>

Did you try the apache-tomcat call within <exec>  ?

What about catching the output f.e.

<exec executable="bash" failonerror="true"
 outputproperty="result" resultproperty="rc.ant">
 <arg value="ant -diagnostics" />
</exec>

or
...
<arg value="du -hs /tmp" />
...

Use outputproperty and resultproperty with your call and tell
us what comes back, we need the output and RC

As you're already using antcontrib you may use the
<shellscript> task, but under the hood it's nearly the
same, means if your command doesn't work with <exec>
it won't work with <shellscript> either.

a small test here@home with ant 1.7.0 / jdk 1.6.0_06
on OpenSuse 10.3 shows the same result for me

testscript
#!/bin/bash
echo "$1 + $2 => `expr $1 + $2`"

<exec executable="bash">
  <arg line="/shellscripts/test 2 5 >/shellscripts/test_out" />
</exec>

works fine, but not when put into <forget> ... </forget>
Maybe it's a bug specific for use with ant 1.7.0 ?!

No further ideas right now, sorry.
