Hi there,
I want to execute a local jar-file with two arguments. My code looks like that:
task jsMinify(type: JavaExec) {
main = ‘-jar’
args “${devLibs}/yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar”, “test.js”, “-o test-min.js”
}
When I execute the task I get the following output (with --info):
Starting process ‘command ‘<…>\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\java.exe’’. Working directory: <…>\workflow Command: <…>\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\java.exe -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -Duser.variant -jar etc/development-libs/yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar test.js -o test-min.js
Successfully started process ‘command ‘<…>\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\java.exe’’
> Building 0% > :jsMinify
Usage: java -jar yuicompressor-x.y.z.jar [options] [input file]
Global Options -h, --help Displays this information --type <js|css> Specifies the type of the input file --charset <charset> Read the input file using <charset> --line-break <column> Insert a line break after the specified column number -v, --verbose Display informational messages and warnings -o <file> Place the output into <file>. Defaults to stdout.
JavaScript Options --nomunge Minify only, do not obfuscate --preserve-semi Preserve all semicolons --disable-optimizations Disable all micro optimizations
If no input file is specified, it defaults to stdin. In this case, the 'type' option is required. Otherwise, the 'type' option is required only if the input file extension is neither 'js' nor 'css'. :jsMinify FAILED FAILED :jsMinify (Thread[Daemon worker Thread 9,5,main]) completed. Took 0.236 secs.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':jsMinify'. > Process 'command '<..>\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
* Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
The final command obviously is the following:
<…>\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\java.exe -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -Duser.variant -jar etc/development-libs/yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar test.js -o test-min.js
When I execute the command manually, the execution is successful.
It seems to me like the arguments are not recognized. The current output (like --help) usually only appears if the arguments are wrong / not set.
