989510 - Enhance ant build script with configurable keystore location

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Integration, defect)

Description

[Austin King [:ozten]]

We found in Bug#989041 that when we run `ant debug` ant tries to create and write $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/debug.keystore

From an operational perspective, we need this debug keystore location to be configurable.

1) Add DEBUG_KEYSTORE_PATH to configs
2) Update lib/apk_project_builder.js or other files to use this
3) Update apk-factory-library as needed

I've tried to figure out how to change the ant debug script, but am flailing. Calling in Java wizards.

I've started a branch with #1 and part of #2 done.
https://github.com/mozilla/apk-factory-service/tree/bug-989510-ant-debug-configurable-keystore

I need help with #3.

Via IRC:

    blassey: ozten: should just be key.store in your ant.properties
    just put an ant.properties next to your project.properties
    it overrides the defaults

It turns out that ant `release` does pick up changes to ant.properties, but `ant debug` does not.

This makes me think that `keystore` is not used during `ant debug`.

Other notes:

On my machine, I had a debug.keystore in /home/ozten/.android/

On my machine, I do not have ANDROID_SDK_HOME set, but it isn't an issue. I see in the build script where it sets it to ANDROID_HOME if it isn't present.

I deleted my debug.keystore and it doesn't get regenerated.

debug doesn't actually need a keystore. Closing.
