build.xml:122: Problem: failed to create task or type antlib:com.salesforce:retrieve

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are setting up our release automation server and we are running into issues when using Ant from a command line. There is a salesforce provided JAR file called "ant-salesforce.jar" that is not being recognized.
BUILD FAILED
/usr/local/sf-build/foo/build.xml:122: Problem: failed to create task or type antlib:com.salesforce:retrieve
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.
No types or tasks have been defined in this namespace yet

This appears to be an antlib declaration.
Action: Check that the implementing library exists in one of:
        -/usr/share/ant/lib
        -/root/.ant/lib
