*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42263 *** oh, rereading its not quite the same; its import and not subant. Reopening. I think that this is the same as 42263. Please check your build file with a svn build of ant, or provide an example set of build files that show the problem. This is happening when I am testing the Beehive dist. You can get the build files and do a repro by following the instructions here: http://wiki.apache.org/beehive/For_Beehive_Developers. Once you set up the environment to use ANT 1.7, you can repro. The build file: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/beehive/trunk/ant/beehive-runtime.xml contains the <ant inheritAll="false"/> task which will trigger this the 42263 bug: <target name="deploy.beehive.webapp.runtime" description="Deploy the Beehive webapp runtime given a webapp root as -Dwebapp.dir"> <ant target="deploy.netui" dir="${beehive.home}/netui/" inheritAll="false"> <property name="webapp.dir" location="${webapp.dir}"/> </ant> </target> <target name="deploy.controls.webapp.runtime" description="Deploy the Beehive controls runtime given a webapp root as -Dwebapp.dir"> <ant target="deploy.controls.runtime" dir="${beehive.home}/controls/" inheritAll="false"> <property name="webapp.dir" location="${webapp.dir}"/> </ant> </target> The project should work with ant 1.7.1(svn), in the mean-time you can use the work-around of passing the ant.version to the nested ant project: <ant target=....> <property name="ant.version" value="${ant.version}"/> ... </ant> Re-Marking as duplicate *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42263 *** |
The ant.version property is unset in imported build scripts using ANT 1.7. I have a build file that uses an import "<import file="newBuild.xml"/>". In this file, we do a check to see if the user is using the correct version of ANT using the following: <condition property="ant.version.okay"> <or> <contains string="${ant.version}" substring="1.6"/> <contains string="${ant.version}" substring="1.7"/> </or> </condition> The property was never set, so I checked to see if the property was set by doing this: <echo> ANT VERSION: ${ant.version} </echo> And this is exactly what appeared on the output: ANT VERSION: ${ant.version} So, it looks like the property gets lost somehow. I tested this on two different boxes, so I'm pretty sure this is a bug.
