Re: exec command not using args element

Got it working with the /c flag.

<schedule interval="15">
   <exec workingdir="c:/temp"
  command="cmd.exe"
   args="/c mkdir foobar">
   </exec>
</schedule>

I found this tidbit about the /c flag.

If /C or /K is specified, then the remainder of the command line is
processed as an immediate command in the new shell.

It makes some sense.

Thanks,
Adam

I know that if you want to run a .bat file on windows you have to run  it via cmd with the /c flag.  Check out exec.  Give it a try.

Do you need to use the /c flag for cmd?

Subject: [Cruisecontrol-user] exec command not using args element

I'm running cc from the windows executable installer on Win 7. I'm trying to create a sub directory in my temp directory in a schedule block.

<schedule interval="30">
          <exec command="cmd.exe" workingdir="c:/temp" args="mkdir foobar" />
</schedule>

The directory does not get created.  Here is part of the log from the dashboard.

- <build time="0 minute(s) 0 second(s)">
- <target name="exec">
- <task name="cmd.exe">
- <message priority="info">
- <![CDATA[ Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
  ]]>
  </message>
+ <message priority="info">
- <![CDATA[ Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
  ]]>
  </message>
- <message priority="info">
- <![CDATA[ c:\temp>
  ]]>
  </message>
  </task>
  </target>
  </build>

It looks like cmd.exe gets run without using the args element. How do I get it to use my args?

Thanks,
Adam
