No, the basedir was correct, but the cwd wasn't.
For each test case I copy the jars required by that test case as well as
its test data into the test case's subdirectory. This allows each test
case to be a self-contained unit if I need to pull it out for further
analysis or send it to someone or whatever. What that means, though, is
that I want to define a classpath like this:
<path id="exec.class.path">
<pathelement location="./Test.jar"/>
<pathelement location="./Object.jar"/>
<pathelement location="./Messaging.jar"/>
...
</path>
where "." is the test directory. I then do:
<subant genericantfile="${basedir}/build.xml" target="test1">
<dirset dir="." includes="test1"/>
</subant>
<subant genericantfile="${basedir}/build.xml" target="test2">
<dirset dir="." includes="test2"/>
</subant>
and so forth. (This is simplified, not every directory is intended to be
invoked separately by <subant>.) The targets look like this:
<target name="test1">
<junit haltonfailure="on" fork="true">
<classpath>
<path refid="exec.class.path"/>
</classpath>
<test name="com.silverlink.object.BasicTest"/>
</junit>
</target>
<target name="test2">
<junit haltonfailure="on" fork="true">
<classpath>
<path refid="exec.class.path"/>
</classpath>
<test name="com.silverlink.object.AdvancedTest"/>
</junit>
</target>
I was hoping that when target test1 was invoked, the current working
directory would be "./test1" while when target test2 is invoked, the
current working directory would be "./test2", where "." is the
${basedir} of the original ant invocation. Instead, though the <subant>s
have their ${basedir} as expected ("./test1" and "./test2",
respectively), the CWDs are still the original ${basedir}. This means my
tests can't find their data, which are stored in the test
subdirectories.

And why/how did it fail? Because the basedir was not correct again? --DD
