Re: How to pass a property to Ant Plugin?

Are you trying to pass properties from CC's config.xml to your ant file.  If
so something like the below should work when embedded in CC's "schedule"
task.

<schedule interval="60">
  <ant anthome="/usr/share/ant"
       buildfile="build_cc.xml"
       target="build">

    <property name="mytestproperty" value="bogusvalue" />

  </ant>
</schedule>

You should be able to reference the property in your ant file using
${mytestproperty}

If you are trying pass properties from one ant file another ant file,
something like the below is an example

<ant antfile="build.xml" dir="file_path_to_target_ant_file" target="build">
    <property name="mytestproperty" value="bogusvalue" />
</ant>

Once again reference using the ${mytestproperty} script.

Hope that helps,
  Mark

Hi,

I've been trying to pass a property value to Ant build but so far nothing
worked!

I tried the following:

      <ant buildfile="C:\CBuilds\projectA\build.xml">
        
       antscript="C:\Ant\apache-ant-1.6.2\bin\ant_mb_3.6.2.bat"
       antworkingdir="C:\CBuilds\projectA"
       target="Test_BuildNumber"
       uselogger="true"
       usequiet="true"
       usedebug="false"

       <property name="buildnumber" value="${label}"/>

      </ant> 

Does anyone know how to do that? Is there is anything wrong with the above
syntax?

  Thanks,

    Sameh
