Hi guys,
I've sussed a reliable build solution for launching apps from an ANT task.
First, declare some variables which hold paths to your app:
<property name="webBrowser" location="/Applications/Firefox.app/"/>
<property name="flashPlayer" location="/Applications/FlashPlayer.app/"/>
Then use the OSX "open" command as the executable, and pass it both the app
and the file as arguments:
<!-- LAUNCH HTML -->
<target name="launchHTML" if="html.exists">
<echo message="Launching ${html}"/>
<exec executable="open" dir="." spawn="true">
<arg line="-a ${webBrowser} ${deploy_dir}/${html}" />
</exec>
</target>
<!-- LAUNCH FLASH PLAYER -->
<target name="launchPlayer" unless="html.exists">
<echo message="Launching ${out_swf}"/>
<exec executable="open" dir="." spawn="true">
<arg line="-a ${flashPlayer} ${deploy_dir}/${out_swf}" />
</exec>
</target>
Of course this means you need to define an app to open the file with instead
of relying on "open" to use the default app, but it works!
Now we just need a better version of ASDT...
