Question

In my selenium grid setup, I have to execute 2 modules initially, which will create data. Then , rest 6 modules paralelly.
Totally i have 8 targets for 8 different modules in build.xml.I have to make all 6 targets wait for initial 2 targets to complete.
1. How can i make ant target wait for the rest two targets to complete execution?
2.If i break build.xml into 2 build.xmls, which command makes 2 build files to run sequentially?

Use antcall …

<project name="projectName" default="initialtarget1">
<target name="initialtarget1"> 
      <....> 

      </....>
      <antcall target="initialtarget2"/> 
      <antcall target="target1"/> 
      <antcall target="target2"/> 
      <antcall target="target3"/> 
      <antcall target="target4"/> 
</target> 
<target name="initialtarget2"> 
</target> 
<target name="target1"> 
</target> 
<target name="target2"> 
</target> 
<target name="target3"> 
</target> 
<target name="target4"> 
</target> 
</project>
