HibernateToolTask destdir not respected from chained ant -------------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-868 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-868 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Bug Components: ant Versions: 3.2beta9 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.1 HSQLDB 1.8.0-7. Reporter: Michael Kintzer Attachments: destdir_bug.zip Per the Hibernate Tools documentation: The destdir attribute of the <hibernatetool> ant task is defined as: destdir (required): destination directory for files generated with exporters. Am using <hibernatetool> ant task to export ddl using hbm2ddl. This task is located in ./inner/build.xml. Relative snippet of build.xml: <echo message="destdir attribute points to: ${data.dir}"/> <hibernatetool destdir="${data.dir}"> <classpath path="${build}"/> <configuration> <fileset dir="${src}"> <include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/> </fileset> </configuration> <hbm2ddl drop="false" create="true" export="true" update="false"/> </hibernatetool> Problem is that when ant build files are chained together, i.e. ./outer/build.xml calls ./inner/build.xml, the ddl output is written to a directory relative to ./outer, not ./inner as is specified by the "destdir" attribute in the ant task. The evaluated value in ant for ${data.dir} when run in both cases is identical: When run from ./inner/build.xml [echo] destdir attribute points to: /home/michael/p4/private/mkintzer/hbtoolsbug/inner/data When run from ./outer/build.xml [echo] destdir attribute points to: /home/michael/p4/private/mkintzer/hbtoolsbug/inner/data So according to the echo statements, ant in both cases has evaluated destdir to be the same absolute path, yet the output ends up in two different locations depending on where the build was run from. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
