The above ant script implements if dir_is_empty then git-clone else git-fetch
using Ant-1.7.1 core statements:
<target name="update" depends="git.clone, git.fetch" />
<target name="check.dir">
<fileset dir="${dir}" id="fileset"/>
<pathconvert refid="fileset" property="dir.contains-files" setonempty="false"/>
</target>
<target name="git.clone" depends="check.dir" unless="dir.contains-files">
<exec executable="git">
<arg value="clone"/>
<arg value="${repo}"/>
<arg value="${dir}"/>
</exec>
</target>
<target name="git.fetch" depends="check.dir" if="dir.contains-files" >
<exec executable="git" dir="${dir}">
<arg value="fetch"/>
</exec>
</target>
(see my other post)
But how to implement a target
enabled by two conditions?
if dir_does_not_exist or dir_is_empty then git-clone else git-fetch
my current attempt:
<target name="git.clone"
depends="chk.exist, chk.empty"
unless="!dir.exist || dir.noempty" >
[...]
</target>
<target name="chk.exist">
<condition property="dir.exist">
<available file="${dir}/.git" type="dir"/>
</condition>
</target>
[...]
I would prefer Ant-1.7.1 core statements. But I am open about other possibilities as Ant contrib, or embedded script... Feel free to post your ideas...
(See also question Execute ANT task just if a condition is met)
To run the ant build file, open up command prompt and navigate to the folder, where the build. xml resides, and then type ant info. You could also type ant instead. Both will work,because info is the default target in the build file.
Description. Call another target within the same buildfile optionally specifying some properties (params in this context). This task must not be used outside of a target . By default, all of the properties of the current project will be available in the new project.
Even when bound to Ant 1.7.1 you may combine your 3 chk targets into one, see the condition part in the snippet.
Since Ant 1.9.1 (better use Ant 1.9.3 because of bugs in Ant 1.9.1 see this answer for details) it is possible to add if and unless attributes on all tasks and nested elements, so no extra target needed, f.e. :
<project xmlns:if="ant:if" xmlns:unless="ant:unless">
<condition property="cloned" else="false">
<and>
<available file="${dir}/.git" type="dir" />
<resourcecount when="gt" count="0">
<fileset dir="${dir}/.git" />
</resourcecount>
</and>
</condition>
<exec executable="git" unless:true="${cloned}">
<arg value="clone" />
<arg value="${repo}" />
<arg value="${dir}" />
</exec>
<exec executable="git" dir="${dir}" if:true="${cloned}">
<arg value="fetch" />
</exec>
</project>
