Zip the folder to publish using Jazz Ant Build task


Sajjad Ali Khan (314152) | asked Nov 19 '15, 5:46 a.m.
 Hi Guys,

I have created a build script i.e. Build.xml file for my project developed in Visual studio, which is shared in Jazz repository via RTC visual studio client.

I am able to build and publish my project artifacts to the build result successfully using build.xml below. But I want to publish my artifacts in zip form. 

What tasks should I add to below build script to "zip" the artifacts and publish them to build results?


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<project name="CalculatorProject_User1" default="startActivity">
  <property name="userId" value="sajjad"/>
  <property name="password" value="sajjad"/>
  <import file="C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\TeamConcertBuild\buildsystem\buildtoolkit\BuildToolkitTaskDefs.xml"/>

  <target name="startActivity">
    <startBuildActivity repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"
                userId="${userId}"
                password="${password}"
                activityIdProperty="buildactivityId"
                label="${activityLabel}"
                autoComplete="true"
                verbose="true"
                buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}" />
  </target>

  <target name="publishActivity">
    <tstamp/>
    <startBuildActivity
        buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}"
        label="${activityLabel}"
        autoComplete="true"
          repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"
        userId="${userId}"
       password="${password}"/>

    <artifactFilePublisher repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"
                 userId="${userId}"
                 password="${password}"
                 buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}"
                 filePath="C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\LocalSandbox\ExampleProject\ExampleProject\bin\Debug\ExampleProject.exe"
                 label="ExampleProject Debug Executable"/>

    <artifactFilePublisher repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"
                userId="${userId}"
                password="${password}"
                buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}"
                filePath="C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\ExampleProject\ExampleProject\bin\Debug\ExampleProject.pdb"
                label="ExampleProject pdb symbols"/>

    <linkPublisher repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"
             userId="${userId}"
             password="${password}"
             buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}"
             url="http://www.ibm.com"
             label="www.ibm.com" />
  </target>
</project>

See http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Ant+task+to+zip , first result. This is really an ANT question and not an RTC question.

I know this is related to ANT but IBM RTC is using Ant Build tool kit for publishing artifacts. If we not use ANT, How does RTC helps us to publish a "zip" to the build result?

RTC just provides additional ANT tasks for RTC build related tasks. For everything else use the existing ANT tasks. So if you have a zip file there is an artifact publishing task that you can use. You can find more information here
