[Anthill] Anthill doesn't build

[Priest, Mark]

Anthill checks to see if anything has changed before building by running the
cvs log command.  From the output it appears that Anthill thinks nothing has
changed and thus a build is not necessary.  Did you try checking the Force
Build checkbox?  Also, try leaving the Build As Version blank.  You should
not ever need to set that.

Hi,

I took a first stab at anthill and seems to have hit
the starter blues. Here is what I am doing.

1. Installed Anthill OS and created a project.

2. My anthill.registry looks like this.

com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapter.log4j.class =
com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapters.Log4jAdapter
com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapter.log4j.configurator = PropertyConfigurator
com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapter.log4j.propertyFile = log4j.configuration #
default anthill url anthill.server = http://localhost:8080/anthill/
anthill.lock.version.file = on

anthill.ant.home = D:\Program_Files\Jakarta\Ant\1.5.3
anthill.repository.adapter =
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.CVSRepositoryAdapter

anthill.mail.host = mymailserverip
anthill.mail.from = myemailaddress
anthill.version.adapter =
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.UrbanCodeVersionAdapter
anthill.work.dir =myproject
anthill.projects.dir = projects
anthill.publish.dir.default = publishDir anthill.dependency.target = core
anthill.dependency.artifact.property = 
anthill.background.color = white
anthill.title.text = Anthill Build Management Server

3. My project's .anthill file looks like this.

anthill.schedule = default
anthill.lastBuildFailDate = 02/25/2005 11:49:09 anthill.lastBuildSucceeded =
false anthill.registry.format.version = 1.1 anthill.version.file = 
anthill.version.adapter =
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.UrbanCodeVersionAdapter
anthill.publish.run_policy = success.only
anthill.publish.url = 
anthill.publish.script = 
anthill.publish.dir = 
anthill.build.script = src/build.xml
anthill.build.tag = success
anthill.build.ant.params.value = core anthill.java.extra.options = 
anthill.repository.adapter =
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.CVSRepositoryAdapter
anthill.repository.cvs.branch = 
anthill.repository.cvs.root = :pserver:myname at mycvsserver.com:/usr/local/cvs
anthill.repository.cvs.module = mymodule anthill.repository.cvs.work.dir =
myworkdir anthill.repository.cvs.anthill.user = myname anthill.mail.policy =
always anthill.users.Abbas = myname at mysite.com

4. I kick off the build manually. On the Build Project
screen, I enter some random number for 'Build as
version'. 

5. Now, anthill gets a fresh copy of the code. I see
the logs being spitted out on the dos shell.

6. After getting the source code, anthill prints the
following on the dos shell.

09:46:04:109 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] INFO 
com.urbancode.anthill.BuildMana
ger  - step 2) is project up to date?
09:46:04:140 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] INFO 
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.C
VSRepositoryAdapter  - Get revisions since command:
cmd /x/c
        cd /d D:\Program_Files\anthill\mywork &&
cvs -d :pserver:myname at mycvsserver:/usr/local/cvs log -d">2005-02-25 19:
49:09 GMT" -rHEAD -N mymodule

7. After item 6, anthill does cvs logging for the
whole module.

8. After cvs logging, anthill prints the following and
quits.

09:47:18:875 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] INFO 
com.urbancode.anthill.BuildMana
ger  - Build NOT required
09:47:18:875 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] INFO 
com.urbancode.anthill.BuildMana
ger  - Build NOT required.

Am I missing anything? Why doesn't anthill build? I
checked the user manual, faq and other docs, but they
didn't seem to have helped me. 

Please note that I have changed the names of hosts,
ports, server names for obvious reasons.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks.
