External Tools: Variables broken if project is added to SCM

0
Torben Knerr (41●11●2) | asked Dec 10 '07, 6:19 p.m.
Hi all,

we are experiencing problems with the external tools settings as soon as we add a project to Jazz SCM.

For our build, we use several Ant Build configurations defined via the External Tools Dialog. Within these configurations we make use of variables, such as ${project_loc}/build.xml. This works fine until we add the project to Jazz SCM -- after adding the project to SCM we can not run the build configuration anymore: the Error Log says "The file does not exist for the external tool named myAntBuildConfig". The External Tools dialog shows the error message "External tool location does not exist". Replacing ${project_loc} with an absolute path fixes the problem, but then we can no longer use the variables.. :-/

Does anyone experience similar problems?

Thanks and best regards,
Torben

P.S.: Just re-opened defect#35745: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Project#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=35745
