Problem using ant/javac/executable for JDK 1.4

Calvin,

Please check javac has execute permission after it's checked out of Subversion. You can use Ant's <chmod> task for that.

Also, you can use relative paths in your build script and omit ${teamcity.build.checkoutDir}/ part, that may simplify troubleshooting in future.

Michael

chmod was the problem. What should I try next?

Thank you

I meant to say... chmod WASN'T the problem. We're still suffering from this bug.

Can you please advise? Thanks

Can the devs please help?
I think this is a bug in TeamCity.

Thanks

Hi Calvin

Unfortunately I still cannot reproduce this behavior.
Please let us some time to research it deeper.

Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,

Have you had a chance to look at this problem?
The script for reproducing this error is provided on the previous posts.

Thanks

Hi Calvin

Sorry, it took so much time on my side. I performed a number of tests, but didn't confirm the issue.
I would suggest to

1. remove ${teamcity.build.checkoutDir}/ prefix from your configuration files and settings in UI. Agent should change working directory to build's checkout directory, so effective commands will be the same, but make ant scripts portable without manual changes.
2. start a build and reproduce the issue
3. look into teamcity-agent.log for exact command how Ant was started
4. log on into the same account, as used by agent
5. go to checkout directory
6. run Ant manually, using exactly the same command from step 3.

Thanks
