I’m trying to compile a Flex application in Ant (no problems here, I can do it fine). When I try to publish the contents of the project to a Windows network drive (known as “Z:\” on my system), I get the following LAME exception thrown by Java/Ant:
BUILD FAILED
C:\workspace\bkeller\build.xml:42: Failed to copy C:\workspace\bkeller\web\assets\text\biography.html to Z:\web\bkeller\assets\text\biography.html due to java.io.FileNotFoundException Z:\web\bkeller\assets\text\biography.html (The system cannot find the file specified)
Which kind of sucks. I can’t find any way to get rid of this problem and it’s pretty crucial to my project that I get this working. I know for sure that I have read/write/execute permissions on the network drive, I can create/edit/delete files on the drive just fine through Windows explorer.
Drive Z is a network mount to virtualbox, allowing me to get access to my host OS, Ubuntu. I’ve double checked that it has write permissions. Any ideas?
It was a problem in VirtualBox’s shared folder system. It was fixed a few releases ago by 3.0.X.
