-== <exec> arguments not expanded under Linux ==
+== expanding wildcards <exec> arguments ==
-Wildcards in <exec> arguments are not expanded under Linux, in particular the
asterisk, for example to indicate filenames. You can verify with the following
simple target:
+Wildcards are understood by shell intepreters, not by individual command line
programs
+individually such as ls.
{{{<target name="list">
- <exec executable="ls">
+ <exec executable="sh">
+ <arg value="ls">
<arg value="/path/to/some/xml/files/*.xml"/>
</exec>
</target>}}}
-The result of the previous target is:
-
-{{{Buildfile: build.xml
-
-list:
- [exec] /usr/bin/ls: /path/to/some/xml/files/*.xml: No such file or
directory
- [exec] Result: 1}}}
-
-I do not know of any workable solution yet.
