I've searched Ant tutorials and JBehave tutorials all over and haven't figured this out.
It seems like the jars/directories in my classpath defined in build.xml file are not geting set when I run scenarioRunner via Ant. If I manually add Jars and my classes directory to my classpath it works fine. Also, the build (javac) task seems to be using the classpath fine. My build.xml is simple, see at: http://gist.github.com/466055 I want the task "ant run-scenarios" to run only using lib/java/*.jar and bin/ in the classpath, and ignore (unset) my CLASSPATH env variable. When I run it I get: run-scenarios: [scenarioRunner] DistributionFactoryException: java.lang.NullPointerException [scenarioRunner] at DistributionFactory.<init>(DistributionFactory.java:20) [scenarioRunner] at DistributionSteps.<init>(DistributionSteps.java:28) [scenarioRunner] at JavaLocalDistributionScenario.<init>(JavaLocalDistributionScenario.java:23) ... [scenarioRunner] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException [scenarioRunner] at ClassManager.<init>(ClassManager.java:30) [scenarioRunner] at DistributionFactory.<init>(DistributionFactory.java:18) [scenarioRunner] ... 30 more The NullPointerException is because ScriptEngineManager.new.getEngineByName("jruby") returns despite jruby-complete.jar being in lib/java. Maybe this is just my misunderstanding of how Ant works, but nobody in the Java community spotted anything wrong with my build file, so I'm hoping you guys can help. Thanks in advance!
