Re: [Statcvs-users] Any ideas about this error? Expected '?' or empty line at line 1, but found 'cvs server: Logging .'

[Richard C. <ri...@cy...>]

Jason,

This happens because your Ant script redirects standard output *and*  
standard error into the log file. That way, the informative progress  
information generated by CVS ("cvs log: Logging ." and so on) also  
ends up in the logfile and confuses StatCVS.

After a quick glance at [1], I think that adding a logError="true"  
attribute to the <exec/> task should fix it. This will write standard  
error to the screen instead of into the file.
