Jenkins not executing Ant task

Question

I'm setting up Jenkins for the first time and running into an issue where Jenkins does not appear to even attempt to execute the Ant task I've specified.

I've defined my JDK and Ant installations under Manage Jenkins.

I've setup my Job to Invoke Ant using the Targets 'war-all'

Whether I force a build or wait for it to naturally execute after the next commit, there is nothing in the Build Console Output about attempting to execute the ant task.

Here is a sample Console Output:

Any ideas as to why it might not be executing would be appreciated. Also tips on how I can find more logging from Jenkins which might provide clues as to why it is not executing would be helpful. I'm not sure what Logger I might specify or even then where the logging information is written on the file system.

Answer 1

The problem was that I was selecting "Build multi-configuration project" as the type of my job. When I select "Build a free-style software project" as my job type the Ant task will execute after the SVN update.
