pre condition for ant build

[Kamal Ahmed]

Hi,

Does someone have any insight and suggestion, as to what would work best in the following scenario.

I want to have a pre-check in place, which will verify if a particular WSDL is available , and if it IS ( meaning we get WSDL XML ) 

only then kick off the ant task which runs some functional tests

Thanks,

-Kamal.

You can use the <available> in Ant to check for the URL and have Ant fail the build if it's not available. 

In fact this can be placed in a fail task. 

<fail message="${wsdl.url} isn't available">

    <condition>

        <not>

            <available url="${wsdl.url}"/>

        </not>

    </condition>

</fail>

Thanks Qazwart

I am new to ant, so i am guessing that i declare wsdl.url outside build.xml

like:

export wsdl.url="http://www.example.com/help?wsdl

I also found:

<typedef
      name="httpcontains"
      classname="HttpContains"
   />

  <waitfor maxwait="10" maxwaitunit="minute" checkevery="500">
    <httpcontains contains="Running" url="http://myurl"/>
  </waitfor>
