The machine which is trying to execute your ant.bat file probably does not have the Ant bin directory in its path. Since it can't find the ant.bat file, it fails. There are a few approaches you might consider:
- Modify the PATH on the Windows slave to include the Ant bin directory (the location of ant.bat) - Configure Jenkins to automatically install ant for you (global configuration), then select that specific ant version in your job - Start the Windows slave from a batch file that modifies the PATH to include the Ant bin directory Mark Waite On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 7:42 PM, John Park <john.p...@sightlinesystems.com>wrote: > Hi All, > > Glad this forum is around, I could sure use some help.
