Ant task build fails after upgrade from 2011 SP2 to 2012 SP1

[Xavier_Outhier]

Hi,

I'm trying to update a working project running under IA 2011 SP2 to IA 2012 SP1.
We have a ant task to build it and it works perfectly when using IA 2011 SP2.
All build information is defined in the ANT script, there is nothing defined in the iap_xml file in the section BuildInstaller/Build configuration. We don't need anything there as the project is never built from the IDE.

Unfortunately when using IA 2012, the ANT task doesn't work anymore.

The error message doesn't tell precisely what is wrong:

[buildinstaller] BuildInstaller: Loading external build settings file: C:\MyPath\iabuild.xml

Then follow usage of build that we do not use as we use ANT:

My ANT task is quite simple;

IAProjectFile="ia/MyProject.iap_xml"
failOnError="true"
OverrideAllPlatformSettings="true"
BuildCDROMInstaller="true"
BuildWEBInstaller="false"
BuildMergeModule="false"
BuildReadOnlyMergeModule="false"
ProjectVersionMajor="${version.major}"
ProjectVersionMinor="${version.minor}"
ProjectVersionRevision="${version.service.pack}"
ProjectVersionSubrevision="${version.build}" >



outputDir="windows"
buildWithNoVM="false"
buildWithVM="true"
bundledVM="${ia.vm.pack.windows}" >





Is it a known bug?
Does someone tried to migrated a project using only the ANT task to build?

Thanks,

Xavier.

Hi,

good to know it doesn't come from the project itself. 🙂
I haven't seen the issue at this page: http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=Q209992. Did I overlooked or is there a more recent list?

Also more important, is there any date estimation when this will be available? In the SP2?

Thanks,

Xavier.

Hi,

will it be fixed in 2012 SP2? When 2012 SP2 is planned to be available?

Thanks
