Question

I’m running an exec task with an output argument that uses a property value

<exec executable="cmd" resultproperty="runStatus" output="${logFolder}/soapui.log" error="${logFolder}/soapui-errors.log">

When running it doesn’t do anything. If I however hardcode the output location output="C:\a.txt" it works fine.

What am I doing wrong here?

P.S. At the same time error="${logFolder}/soapui-errors.log" works perfectly fine.

Thanks to FailedDev for this one.

Basically the issue was with the ${logFolder} not yet existing as it only gets created by soapUI to store logs. I assumed that soapUI would create the directory to store the output logs but I was wrong.

A simple mkdir task fixed this issue.
