 Description   

(this looks like a duplicate of http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-131)

Hi,

I have the following structure:

  • root
  • (F) build.gradle
  • (F) settings.grade
  • (D) jarA
  • (D) jonah
  • - (D) nah
  • - (F) build.gradle

root/settings.gradle includes jonah/nah

If I build webapps/webapp1 then it fails with the following error message:

— start
:jonah/nah:archive_war

Build failed with an exception.
Run with -s or -d option to get more details. Run with -f option to get the full (very verbose) stacktrace.

Build file '/Users/colinyates/Projects/orca/jonah/trunk/jonah/nah/build.gradle'

Execution failed for task :jonah/nah:archive_war.
Cause: Problem creating war: /Users/colinyates/Projects/orca/jonah/trunk/jonah/nah/build/jonah/nah-1.0.war (No such file or directory) (and the archive is probably corrupt but I could not delete it)

BUILD FAILED

— end

jonah/nah/build.gradle:

— start
// name still becomes nah-1.0.war
// archivesBaseName = 'nah'

usePlugin('war')

dependencies

{ compile project(':test-utils') compile project(':orca-core') compile project(':orca-support') // REVIEW - move these to a common parent build.settings providedCompile('javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5') providedCompile('javax.servlet:jsp-api:2.0') compile('javax.servlet:jstl:1.2') }

// REVIEW - urgh! The jars on the dependant projects aren't being copied
// http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-425
archive_war {
additionalLibs(dir: '../../orca-core/build/')

{ include('*.jar') }
additionalLibs(dir: '../../orca-support/build/') { include('*.jar') }

}
archive_war.doLast {
File nahWarFile = "$buildDir/nah.war" as File
ant.copy(file: archive_war.getArchivePath(), tofile: nahWarFile)
}

// create the exploded war
File explodedDir = "$buildDir/exploded" as File
createTask('explodedWar', dependsOn: archive_war) {
ant.unzip(src: archive_war.getArchivePath(), dest: explodedDir)
}

— end

From your snipped I can't see where you set the non standard build dir. I have played around with what I think are similar scenarios but could not reproduce the bug. A test project that reproduces this bug would help a lot.

Attached is a skeleton project.

Running gradle dists in the root results in the following:

Thanks for the test case. I have the problem that when I unpack nested-web.tgz, the nested-web/build.gradle is an empty document and I can't reproduce the above output.

uploaded a new zip file. Apologies for that

There is a bug in your settings.gradle. Instead of "wars/a-project" the path must be described as "wars:a-project". We use a different path separator, because Gradle has special tasks where the normal path separator can be part of the task name. We are aware that this is not intuitive. For 0.7 we are thinking about ways to use the normal path separator for project paths and still be able to use the path separator in task names.
