antrun versus wsl versus cygwin

antrun versus wsl versus cygwin

[Franz Fehringer]

Hi all (half off topic),

I have installed (on a Windows 10 1809 system) both Cygwin and WSL (only
the Windows component, no real Linux distribution yet).
This scenario gives me a strange problem with antrun: With <exec
executable="bash"> i always get the WSL bash instead of the Cygwin one,
although Cygwin is first in PATH (both Cygwin PATH and Windows PATH),
even so if C:/Windows/System32 (location of WSL bash) is not in the
(Cygwin) PATH at all.
I made some tries with extra parameters like seachpath to no avail.
It (naturally) works if i give the full absolute path to the Cyhwin
bash, but this is awkward.
Any hints about reason and solution?

Thanks Franz

No, just about some diagnostics (maybe your application does not see the 
extended PATH?): on a Windows cmd line, say `where bash` to see if it's 
really available...

I am not sure if i understand this correctly, but

Windows cmd:

C:\Users\feh01589>where bash
C:\Tools\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe
C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe

C:\Users\feh01589>`where bash`
'`where' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file

Cygwin bash:

FEH01589@MU-N-566 ~
$ where bash
C:\Tools\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe
C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe

FEH01589@MU-N-566 ~
$ `where bash`
-bash: C:\Tools\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe: Kommando nicht gefunden.

where is only available as a Windows executable (not a Cygwin one).

Try to set up a test that reproduces the original environment closely: 
start a cmd.exe from your application, just as you're trying to start 
bash. Possibly the application manipulates the path before starting an 
external command. From that (cmd started from your, whatever, ant), rerun
where bash

Tried looking in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths"
,
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths"
and
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\"
? They might have bash.exe in them. Also, what happens if you create a symlink
mybash.exe, that points to cygwin bash.exe? Would mybash.exe invoke the right bash?

There are no bash matches at the registry locations given. antrun can
execute Cygwin bash without problems (i temporally moved wsl bash.exe to
wslbash.exe), but it finds wsl bash before Cyhwin bash regardless of
PATH settings.

What is the value of PATH according to antrun? (is this ant ?????)

The configuration was: No system32 in the Cygwin PATH (from were maven /
antrun / ant was started) and Cygwin bin before Windows system32 in the
Windows (DOS) PATH.

Is this a Cygwin ant or a Windows ant ?

Windows ant via Windows maven (antrun plugin) in a Cygwin shell.

Check what Maven sets the environment to.

I already printed out env.PATH in the antrun block and it had Cygwin bin
before Windows system32.

This tells me that "Cygwin" is in C:\Tools\Cygwin\bin; it also tells me
that cygwin1.dll is that directory, as "which" can be invoked ...

And bash is also found in C:\Tools\Cygwin\bin, I believe. (which can be
verified by "where bash").

Consequenly Cygwin's bash can be invoked (even from a Windows JVM). It
does not matter that Runtime.exec calls ::CreateProcess.

I have no idea what "build" is or does ...

Apparently, it refers in some way to the WSL executables ...

As Windows JVM is not installed at my place (and I am using W7, where
WSL cannot be installed), I cannot help you forward beyond this point.

build is some simple script which does not in any way refer to wsl. The
result woould be the same without (i will check in the evening).

build is a script ?

Drop the "-c" argument. Use "bash script" in stead in your antrun script,
like you would on the bash command line:

$ bash script

Interesting idea, but no improvement.
Currently i work with the renamed (wslbash.exe) wsl bash until i (or
someone else) find(s) a better solution.

I work wih the renamed (wslbash.exe) wsl bash in the meantime (until a
better solution is found).

Erm, thinking this over ... you may be on the right track ...

After invoking the Windows executable (JVM or whatever) from Cygwin, "bash"
is started using CreateProcess()

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-createprocessa

Before it searches PATH, CreateProcess checks "the 32-bit Windows system
directory" for the presence of "bash.exe".

And we know that bash.exe from WSL is present in C:\Windows\System32. That
does explain why the output of bash from WSL is shown, does it not?
(reporting that a distribution is still to be installed).

The above also explains why renaming bash from WSL to "wslbash.exe" forces
CreateProcess() to search for the presence of bash.exe down the PATH.
