Hey guys,
Your version of ant is old, I’m wondering if you can update it.
The simple work-around (that costs me about 10 seconds) is to use apt-get to update it.
You’re using ant 1.8
from 2011, the newest on apt-get is ant 1.9.4
, released in 2014. It seems like it contains mostly bug fixes and non-breaking changes:
# >ant -v
# circle CI's default version of ant
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 3 2011
Trying the default build file: build.xml
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
# >sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade ant
#...
# >ant -v
# newest verstion of ant on apt-get,
# still ~old but it has the feature I need
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.3 compiled on April 8 2014
Trying the default build file: build.xml
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
Specifically, I’m looking for the junit task to support a flag, skipNonTests
on a batch junit target, which is how we run tests. 1.8.2
doesn’t have it, 1.9.3
does.
cheers!
