Apache ANT Fails to Compile

[Omertron]

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes. Feel free to
delete it if not in right place.

Ever since rev 1370, I am unable to build from SVN on my end. Granted I am
a total noob at this but it was working fine. Since the tests were put in,
the build fails with an Failure (not an error) where it can;t find a poster
in the test. It is checking for movieposter.jpg or something like it.

I see where the logic is in the build.xml but since I am not a JAVA
programmer, I am afraid to mess with it and break something. Not a big deal
but I'd like to be able to restore my confidence in building on my end :-)

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
ANT 1.8.0RC01
java version "1.6.0_18"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

Thanks guys.

I removed the test for the test 9sic) and it compiled through... will I have issues?

Also, how do I use HUDSON CI? And what the heck is it anyways LOL

Cheers!

You won't have any issues, but the tests are designed to fail if you change something
in the code that affects their output. For example, if you have a movie name with a
year in it "Blade (2003)", the test condition is that the movie.getYear method
returns 2003.

If you are just compiling yourself, that shouldn't affect you.

When can we expect your first fixes? ;-)

Hudson CI (http://hudson-ci.org/) is a Continuous Integration server. Basically, as I
am using it, it polls google code for any updates every 15 minutes, builds the svn
zip, uploads it to my site and tweets and update out.

You don't need it.

Ah.. .thanks Stuart... listen, between you me and the world... I look at EVERY SINGLE
change and pour over the DIFF s in hopes of learning something. And you guys simply
CONFUSE THE HECK OUT OF ME EVEN MORE each time. How the heck does a human make sense
out of par.loop.get.trans.blah blah???

I am such a code noob... I can;t wrap my little nbrain around it.

So OK. I think I get it. But how does the compiling tests help me in the ned,? I see
them fail and I think I know where the files are being looked at but I don;t
understand the test. I think those tests are for a particular website being up or
down during compile? which means that the actual YAMJ compiled code when run by end
end user will fail as well?
I get that but then how do you guys get past the fact that it fails? do you override
the failure on your end and push it anyhow?

What should I be doing here to fix the failure and have a clean compile? I know it
should not affect me since I get all my posters on my own and use them next tot he
movies but.. .I just wanna learn.

Maybe I will contribute more by updating and augmenting the wiki. I am a good user (I
hope) lol

BTW, I donated and wanted to make sure you got it... t'was last week I think ... Cheers!!
