Introduction

This page summarize frequently asked questions (and answers) around build automation with Ant, PCT and OpenEdge.

How to report bugs

• Please use the Issues page on GitHub.
• Always include the version number of PCT and OpenEdge ; you can easily get this information by including the following statements in your build.xml :

 <PCTVersion />
 <ProgressVersion dlcHome="${DLC}" fullVersion="dlc.version.full" />
 <echo message="${dlc.version.full}" />

Which will give you :

[PCTVersion] PCT Version : jenkins-Dev1-PCT-376
     [echo] OpenEdge Release 11.5 as of Fri Dec  5 19:02:15 EST 2014

• Upgrade to the latest version of PCT if possible
• Include a verbose log of your problem, by using ant -v
• Include if possible a PCT verbose log of your problem, by adding verbose="true" in your PCTRun or PCTCompile statement
• If you have a problem with PCTCompileExt, first verify that PCTCompile works correctly.
• If you want a problem to be fixed in a short amount of time, include a test case to reproduce the problem. The easier it will be for me to reproduce the problem, the faster the fix will come
• If you know how to fix a problem, please create a pull request
