Re: [platform-ant-dev] Problems resolving mixed paths with .. in Ant int

[Darin Swanson <Darin_Swanson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On the 2.1, 2.1.1 or the 3.0 stream I cannot reproduce your problem

My  simple test case:

<project name="Echo" default="echo">

        <property name="path" value="${basedir}/../target"/>

        <target name="echo">
                <mkdir dir="${path}"/>
        </target>
</project>

Can you please provide a sample build file that exhibits your problem?

Dear list,

there seems to be a problem with path name resolution when Ant is run inside
Eclipse. (This is 2.1.0 to be exact.)

If under windows a path happend to look like this:

c:\local\src\anyapp\build/../target

because you had defined a property such as ${basedir}/../target

this gets resolved to

c:\local\src\anyapp\build\target

instead of

c:\local\src\anyapp\target

Leaving everything unchanged and running ant from a DOS box (same version;
1.5.3) does not have this problem.

I brought this up on the newsgroup already. Darin Swanson considered this a
bug and wanted to have a look. Any workarounds / patches would be nice as
this is causing trouble with a lot of OSS packages that do not build under
Windows because of this.

Regards,
Torsten
