the teamLastModified Ant task
Hi,
i am a bit confused by the teamLastModified Ant task. the documentation states "The output files should be attached to the build as a log or download, so that you can maintain consistent timestamps between different streams of development." So this would mean that the output of the task should the time stamp of the last scm change that occurred anywhere within a the structure of a given folder (down to the last file of the last sub-folder) but when i run it i only get the time stamp of the last change to the folder itself (i.e. the last addition/removal of an artifact directly under the folder) Is this what it is supposed to to do? if so, what would be a use case for this task? also the task only allows me to point to the root of my sandbox, and therefore only scans the root folders of the loaded components rgds, d. |

i am a bit confused by the teamLastModified Ant task. Join the club. The teamLastModified Ant task is somewhat confusing. To some extent it was put together in a hurry so that the builds of RTC itself could have correct version qualifiers for the plugins. It was never fully polished, so it still has some rough edges. So this would mean that the output of the task should the time stamp Close. Actually it is the creation time of the oldest baseline visible in the workspace that was created after the last SCM change anywhere within the given folder. So if your workspace doesn't have regularly created baselines, teamLastModified won't do you much good. (I have no idea if this is actually the cause of your problem. But it is one possible thing to check.) also the task only allows me to point to the root of my sandbox, and Yes, that is an unfortunate limitation. |
Hi David,
If the teamLastModified Ant task isn't working the way you expect, or require for your use case, please file a work item against RTC/Build, and let us know what you need. Regards, Nick Edgar RTC Build component lead |
David(s), I've filed: 94853: Allow parent directory to be specified in teamLastModified task. Please feel free to elaborate on it as needed, or file extra work items.

Sorry,
for the late reply, i had moved on to another task and didn't check the forums for a while. David, Now that i know that the task requires baselines, i should be able to make use of it. Nick, i had a look at the Enhancement request you created and that's pretty much it. thanks, David. |
