Question

I’m using the Perforce tasks for Ant and would like to a file if it’s not already known to Perforce or it if it is.

I can:

<p4add changelist='${p4.change}' failonerror='false'>
    <fileset file='my-file'/>
</p4add>
<p4edit changelist='${p4.change}'>
    <fileset file='my-file'/>
</p4edit>

Is there a better way?

Answer 1

<trycatch property='my-file-is-new'><try>
    <p4edit view='my-file'/>
</try><catch>
    <touch file='my-file'/>
    <p4add>
        <fileset file='my-file'/>
    </p4add>
</catch></trycatch>

<if><isset property="my-file-is-new"/><then>
    <echo message="p4 added my-file"/>
</then><else>
    <echo message="p4 edited my-file"/>
</else></if>
