I'm performing concurrent build operations in an OSX Build Unit where the MobileFirst 7.0 and iOS/Android native artifacts are the outcome. Occasianally, builing the native ipa file for iOS fails because some of the content that should be added to the iOS native folder from underneath the folder wlBuildResources is inexplicably missing:
[xcodebuild-archive] CpResource CordovaLib/VERSION ...........
[xcodebuild-archive] cd .................
[xcodebuild-archive] builtin-copy -exclude .DS_Store -exclude CVS -exclude .svn -exclude .git -exclude .hg -strip-debug-symbols -strip-tool ..........
[xcodebuild-archive] error: /../../../CordovaLib/VERSION: No such file or directory
[xcodebuild-archive]
[xcodebuild-archive] ** ARCHIVE FAILED **
[xcodebuild-archive]
[xcodebuild-archive]
[xcodebuild-archive] The following build commands failed:
[xcodebuild-archive] CpResource CordovaLib/VERSION ..........
[xcodebuild-archive] (1 failure)
The missing file here is wlBuildResources\7.0.0.00.20160808-1524\environments\base\ios\native\CordovaLib\VERSION. This file should be added by the Ant task app-builder to the iOS native folder.
While investigating this issue, I intended to work around it by setting a different parent folder for wlBuildResources at each build, to be sure that all the resources were recreated each time.
Several other posts like this indicated that when the folder wlBuildResources is created/recreated it is appended to $TMPDIR in OSX. Hence I customized the value of $TMPDIR in the same shell that executes the app-builder ant task. But, even this way, the task recreated the folder wlBuildResources under the same parent directory as before.
So I have the following questions:
1) Are the Ant tasks provided by MobileFirst for building the product artifacts suitable to work in concurrency/parallel?
2) Is it possible to indicate to the app-builder ant task where to append the wlBuildResources folder? I suspect that the task uses getconf DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR as parent folder for wlBuildResources.
Thanks, Simone.
