Re: Location attribute in property not resolving correctly

[Antoine Levy-Lambert]

Hello Gilbert,

this is not a bug.

propertyfile generates a file with the properties format.
The : in Y:/bla/corba.jar gets escaped.

This works as designed.

Hi,

still no solution ?
Should i fill a bug report about that behaviour
of <propertyfile file="... " />

resulting in a deformed path, f.e.

Y:/bla/corba.jar >>> Y\:/bla/corba.jar

?!

see example below

same result with ant 1.7.0 beta2

Hi,

strange =

<project name="bla" default="main" basedir=".">
    <!-- Import AntContrib -->
    <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" />
    <target name="depends">
        <timestampselector
            outputsetid="mypath"
            count="1"
            age="eldest" >
        <path>
            <fileset dir="Y:/bla">
                <include name="*.jar" />
            </fileset>
        </path>
        </timestampselector>
        <pathconvert refid="mypath" property="myfixedpath"
targetos="unix"/>
        <echo>myfixedpath === ${myfixedpath}</echo>

        <echo
file="Y:/bla/foobar1.properties">filepath=${myfixedpath}</echo>
        <echo
file="Y:/bla/foobar2.properties">filepath=${myfixedpath}</echo>

    </target>

    <target name="main" depends="depends">
        <propertyfile file="Y:/bla/foobar1.properties" />
        <echo>Targetfile === ${filepath}</echo>
    </target>
</project>

foobar1.properties, the file which is loaded in the main target looks
like =
#Wed Sep 27 07:53:37 CEST 2006
filepath=Y\:/bla/corba.jar

foobar2.properties looks like =
filepath=Y:/bla/corba.jar

so it seems like the timestamp gets added when loading the propertyfile with <propertyfile file="..."> but what is really fishy is that the path

goes bad

from : Y:/bla/corba.jar to: Y\:/bla/corba.jar

What's responsible for that ?
and
how to make the example above working ?

Regards, Gilbert

       <echo

file="Y:/bla/foobar.properties">filepath=${myfixedpath}</echo>

 The foobar.properties looks like =
#Tue Sep 26 17:40:31 CEST 2006
filepath=Y\:/bla/corba.jar

This is fishy because <echo> would never add the timestamp, like
java.util.Property#store would. So something else created the file
you're showing...
