TeamCity deploy to Tomcat with Ant fails


I'm running TeamCity 7 on Ubuntu 12, and I'm trying to deploy a war file to a tomcat server on machine with IP x using Ant. The thing is - this worked on a different machine with TeamCity 7, and the only thing I've changed is the machine (moved to Ubuntu running on KVM), and the TC version (upgrade).

  1. I've set ANT_HOME to the correct location, and I see the TC is using it in the build log: ... -Dant.home=/usr/share/ant ...

  2. I've added the following jars to my ANT_HOME/lib: catalina-ant, tomcat-coyote, tomcat-juli, tomcat-util

  3. The build is running on an agent which has the default Ant settings

  4. My ant file looks like this:

<target name="deploy.to.server">
    <property name="port" value="${tomcat.port}"/>
    <property name="tomcat.manager" value="manager/text"/>
    <property name="url" value="http://${tomcat.server}:${port}/${tomcat.manager}"/>
    <property name="path" value="/${server.name}"/>

    <echo message="Deploying application to ${url}"/>

    <antcall target="undeploy.from.tomcat"/>
    <sleep seconds="3"/>
    <antcall target="deploy.to.tomcat"/>
</target>

<taskdef name="deploy"    classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask"/>
<taskdef name="undeploy"  classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.UndeployTask"/>

<target name="deploy.to.tomcat" description="Install web application">
    <deploy url="${url}" username="${username}" password="${password}"
            path="${path}" war="${work.dir}/${path}.war"/>
</target>

<target name="undeploy.from.tomcat" description="Remove web application">
    <undeploy url="${url}" username="${username}" password="${password}"
            path="${path}"/>
</target>

I've got this in the TC log:

Now, this is extremely weird, as when I run this from the command line it works perfectly: ant -buildfile deploy.xml -Dtomcat.server= ...

There is no apparent difference between the two - running it from the CL and through the TC agent should both be running Ant from ANT_HOME (usr/share/ant), and loading the libraries in $ANT_HOME/lib.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Thanks!


Solution

  • Just answering the question,

    Thanks to @timomeinen - adding the catalina-ant.jar to $ANT_HOME/lib did the job.
