is Infer support ant builder for android projects?

[ahmtbrk]

I want to analyze that I write android project with eclipse(use ant).
is it possible via infer?
Good works

[jvillard]

Hi @ahmtbrk,

Thanks for your report. Infer supports ant. You can run Infer on your ant project with

ant clean
infer -- ant compile

You can replace ant compile with the ant command you use to build your project.

We'll add these steps to the website. Let me know if they work for you.

Hi @jvillard
Thanks for help.
But i got a error during ant clean

/Users/AhmtBrK/Library/Android/sdk/tools/ant/build.xml:470: The following error occurred while executing this line:
Target "nodeps" does not exist in the project "null".

[jvillard]

Sorry, I wrote ant clean but you should use the command you normally use to clean your project. It looks like in Eclipse this is "Project -> Clean...".

[ahmtbrk]

Okey.I used clean via Eclipse.After i tried infer -- ant compile and i got error again.

macbook-MacBook-Pro:AkilliEv AhmtBrK$ infer -- ant compile

I am not very familiar with ant builds generated from Eclipse, sorry. Does infer -- ant work for you? Or perhaps infer -- ant -f build.xml?

[ahmtbrk]

No problem @jvillard.
I used infer -- ant and infer -- ant -f build.xml but terminal moved to the bottom line(new line).

Like this;
macbook-MacBook-Pro:AkilliEv AhmtBrK$ infer -- ant
macbook-MacBook-Pro:AkilliEv AhmtBrK$

[jvillard]

Looks like an issue with infer. Does ant on its own build anything after cleaning in Eclipse?

[ahmtbrk]

Hi @jvillard

i ran this command only "ant"

Output;
macbook-MacBook-Pro:AkilliEv AhmtBrK$ ant

Try with one of the targets given by ant, for example ant debug. If this work, clean the project in Eclipse then run infer -- ant debug.

[ahmtbrk]

yeah i tried ant debug but i got an error

[aapt] invalid resource directory name: /Users/AhmtBrK/Documents/SmartHomeWorkspace/akilli-ev-android/ViewPageIndicator/bin/res crunch

BUILD FAILED
/Users/AhmtBrK/Library/Android/sdk/tools/ant/build.xml:597: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/Users/AhmtBrK/Library/Android/sdk/tools/ant/build.xml:649: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/Users/AhmtBrK/Library/Android/sdk/tools/ant/build.xml:694: null returned: 1

As far as I understand "ant debug" command is true but my project is more complex.
So I think that was a mistake.

Many thanks for the help

This error normally indicates that you need to execute an ant clean.

For example: infer -- ant clean debug from the Android/ directory.

[jvillard]

Hi @ahmtbrk, I'm closing this issue since the problem seems to be related to finding the right ant command to build your project rather than something Infer-specific.

Feel free to post the solution to your problem, or to re-open the issue if you have more questions.

In my case , ant debug.
the following is the available targets.

 [echo]    **clean:**     Removes output files created by other targets.
                           This calls the same target on all dependent projects.
                            Use 'ant nodeps clean' to only clean the local project
 [echo]    **debug:**     Builds the application and signs it with a debug key.
                           The 'nodeps' target can be used to only build the
                            current project and ignore the libraries using:
                           'ant nodeps debug'
 [echo]    **release:**   Builds the application. The generated apk file must be
                             signed before it is published.
                            The 'nodeps' target can be used to only build the
                             current project and ignore the libraries using:
                             'ant nodeps release'
 [echo]    **instrument:**Builds an instrumented package and signs it with a
                            debug key.
 [echo]    **test:**      Runs the tests. Project must be a test project and
                               must have been built. Typical usage would be:
                              ant [emma] debug install test
 [echo]    **emma:**      Transiently enables code coverage for subsequent
                             targets.
 [echo]    **install:**   Installs the newly build package. Must either be used
                             in conjunction with a build target (debug/release/
                              instrument) or with the proper suffix indicating
                              which package to install (see below).
                            If the application was previously installed, the
                            application is reinstalled if the signature matches.
 [echo]    **installd:**    Installs (only) the debug package.
 [echo]    **installr:**     Installs (only) the release package.
 [echo]    **installi:**     Installs (only) the instrumented package.
 [echo]    **installt:**    Installs (only) the test and tested packages (unless
                                       nodeps is used as well.
 [echo]    **uninstall:** Uninstalls the application from a running emulator or
                                       device. Also uninstall tested package if applicable
                                       unless 'nodeps' is used as well.
