[Anthill] build.xml does not exist!

[William Walsh]

Hi Eric,  I think I understand what you are saying.  But, since z/OS is an
EBCDIC platform and we can only use it for testing I've setup Anthill to use
the FileSystemRepositoryAdapter, which I understand to work differently than
the source control adapters--uses an absolute path.  The manual says:

repository.fileSystem.work.dir
This is the only attribute you need to specify with the File System
Repository.
Enter the absolute base directory of the project files.

I've set this to /Testing/source; so, I expect that the java command
invoking ant with -buildfile, as reported by log4j, is whatever it finally
resolves it to and expects it to be (and a command line ant command with the
same argument finds it).  Yet, there must be something else I've missed.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
www

William,

I think I see the problem. Anthill assumes that the build script you are 
passing it is a part of the project that it checked out. The build 
script that you enter would be relative to the project directory. 
Anthill then checks out your project, and then executes the build file 
it just checked out. /Testing/source/build.xml looks like you're trying 
to reach the build file with an absolute path, which isn't supported.

Regards,

Eric
