Hi All,

I am trying to run a Linux command from ant and facing the following errors,

Script Task:

<exec executable="/usr/bin/diff" failonerror="true" output="Main_Agg_diff.log">
<arg line="TAOuput.log TLPOuput.log"/>
</exec>

Error is :

[exec] Current OS is Linux
[exec] Output redirected to /home/ajay/TATest/Main_Agg_diff.log
[exec] Executing '/usr/bin/diff' with arguments:
[exec] 'TAOuput.log'
[exec] 'TLPOuput.log'
[exec]
[exec] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
[exec] not part of the command.

BUILD FAILED
/home/ajay/TATest/build.xml:36: exec returned: 1

You set "failOnError" true. If diff detects that 2 files are different, it returns non-zero (specifically, it returned 1). This was detected as failure, which terminated Ant.

From what I can see, Ant did exactly what you told it to.
