Dear Ant-Gurus,
Are there problems with the ant builtin task 'chmod' under Solaris?
It fails when I try to use it.
As shown below when I try to build the target 'bozo' I get a warning
from chmod. My intrepretation of the verbose output is that it is not
passing the file name to the chmod command that is to be executed.
Here's what I've tried/confirmed:
- The target directory /tmp/a exists and I own it (e.g. I
have permissions to perform the operation I defined).
- I've fixed the antRun script to remove the ^m characters
at the end of each line.
- I like Unix and open source, so it _should_ work for me :)
Thanks in advance,
Alan
P.S. Here is the transcript of what I have tried:
$ uname -a
SunOS zus06a-1001 5.8 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
$ more build.xml # Show the task for target 'bozo'
...
<target name="bozo">
<chmod file="/tmp/a" perm="go+w"/>
</target>
...
$ ls -ld /tmp/a # Show the target to perform the chmod on
dr-x------ 2 eindhara develop 117 Jul 6 15:22 /tmp/a
$ ant -verbose bozo # Demonstrate the problem
Ant version 1.3 compiled on March 2 2001 <--- Is it recent enough?
Buildfile: build.xml
Detected Java Version: 1.3
Detected OS: SunOS
parsing buildfile /app/eindhara/alan/work/servlet/build.xml with URI =
file:/app/eindhara/alan/work/servlet/build.xml
Project base dir set to: /app/eindhara/alan/work/servlet
Build sequence for target `bozo' is [bozo]
Complete build sequence is [bozo, app.env, variables, prepare, javadoc, clean,
compile, dist, all]
bozo:
[chmod] Myos = SunOS
[chmod] chmod go+w <--- HUH?!? where is the file name?
[chmod] Executing chmod go+w
[chmod] usage: chmod [-fR] <absolute-mode> file ...
[chmod] chmod [-fR] <symbolic-mode-list> file ...
[chmod] where <symbolic-mode-list> is a comma-separated list of
[chmod] [ugoa]{+|-|=}[rwxXlstugo]
[chmod] Result: 2
--- Note that the 'usage' output shown above is consistent with what you
--- get when you enter the command 'chmod go+w' (missing the file name)
--- directly on the command line. This makes me suspect that the problem
--- is with the class/method that sets up the command line (and not the
--- exec part).
BUILD SUCCESSFUL <--- This is also lame... chmod failed!
Total time: 1 second
$ ls -ld /tmp/a # Show the target has no change in permissions
