RE: failing any build

Can you under normal circumstances check out of CVS to your desktop (or 
wherever) & build manually w/o Anthill?

Have you set up Anthill's properties correctly?  At the top of the UI?  
Remember this: Anthill likes for everything to reside under it, like Ant, 
the working folders, etc.  Anthill is a wrapper.

anthill.home  c:\anthill
anthill.ant.home  lib/ant1.6.5
anthill.version.adapter   
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.UrbanCodeVersionAdapter
anthill.repository.adapter   
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.CVSRepositoryAdapter
anthill.publish.dir.default   publishDir
anthill.mail.host   YourMailHost
anthill.mail.from   YourReal-or-FakeEmailAddr; AH doesn't care
The url that you access anthill from.
anthill.server   http://localhost:8080/anthill/
The ant target to execute when building dependencies.
anthill.dependency.target
The property name to be passed when executing a dependency target whose 
value is the directory of the build artifacts.
anthill.dependency.artifact.property
anthill.background.color
anthill.title.text

Now set up a project, in the project YOU MUST point to a dummy versioning 
file, even if you choose not to allow AH to tag your builds.  AH needs this 
file to keep track of itself.  I call mine anthill.build.version.  In the 
proj click on anthill.version.adapter url, in the next page point to this 
file and its RELATIVE path, click on Update.

Now in the proj's mainpage click on 
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.CVSRepositoryAdapter, type in the path to your 
working folder relative to anthill/work subfolders, type in your cvs repo 
project name/module, type in the cvs url : 
:pserver:user-9IKiO1iGCm/[email protected]:/usr/local/cvs, type in your user id.  Anthill 
assumes a .cvspass already exists as defined in your environment variables.  
Leave the branches field alone unless you're doing branch builds. Click on 
Update again.

In the main page again, give the path of your build file relative to 
anthill/work.

You can choose for AH to tag or not.  I don't.

I don't use the other fields but the ah.user where I define my email 
distribution list.

In the next field anthill.build.ant.params, call your ant targets in the 
exact order as defined by Ant's command line: ant [options] targets, e.g. 
ant -Dbuild.number=999 clean init compile.  Anthill erroneously in its 
documentation specifies or misprints that no dash should precede D, -D!  But 
I found out that you must provide the dash or it will not work!!

Set up a schedule and you're done.

Hi,



I try to run anthill examples like the one that extract from the CVS
repository. It fails each time I build it, without being a Java freak. So
please don't blame me be for beginner's questions.



In Tomcat's log, I indeed find some errors





11:15:25:328 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] ERROR
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.CVSRepositoryAdapter  - CreateProcess: javac
-classpath "nullC:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\bin\bootstrap.jar"
c:\Data\anthill\pagelets\Win32\win_cvs\getRevisionsSince_pgl.java error=2
thrown in new catch

java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: javac -classpath "nullC:\Program
Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin\bootstrap.jar"
c:\Data\anthill\pagelets\Win32\win_cvs\getRevisionsSince_pgl.java error=2

what is quite strange to be is the null in from of the first classpath
element. I searches Anthill directory for any "tomcat" string to see whether
I wrongly specified a parameter (extra leading blank): nothing. I searched
registry: same result (or at least I didn't find any leading blank).



Is it indeed the source of my problem? Can any body tell me where I wrongly
specified a parameter?







Tanguy
