Forrestbot "build" workstage creates spurious "build/webapp/WEB-INF/logs"
directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FOR-752
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-752
Project: Forrest
Type: Bug
Components: Forrestbot
Versions: 0.7
Reporter: Richard Calmbach
Priority: Minor
When running Forrestbot with the default value for property "build.work-dir"
(namely "work/${ant.project.name}"), "project.build-dir" is set to the same
value and consequently, "project.webapp" is set to
"work/${ant.project.name}/webapp". However, one of the two "logs" directories
continues to be created at "build/webapp/WEB-INF/logs", suggesting that
somewhere a hardcoded value is used instead of ${project.webapp}. The mkdir
command for this "logs" directory is not in any of the Ant build files in the
Forrest distribution; it must be in one of the Java classes, probably in a
class related to logging. I forced an I/O failure by turning off all
permissions on build/webapp and running "forrest -f build.xml build". This
yielded a stacktrace that originated 7 calls before:
org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.factory.FileTargetFactory.createTarget(FileTargetFactory.java:160)
The remaining 7 invokations were not displayed (just "... 7 more").
The upshot of this bug is that running "forrest -f build.xml clean" misses the
"logs" directory in the unexpected location. My workaround right now is to use
a custom "clean-all" target that depends on "clean" and that deletes the
spurious "build/webapp" directory.
