grails doesn't generate ant build file

I'm a beginner of Grail. I learned from the quick-start tutorial that the grails create-app will generate a build.xml for Ant.

I execute the command. but couldn't get the build.xml file. Is there missing any steps? Any help is appreciated.

As Don said you really don't need it. But if you want the build.xml that used to be automatically created, run

grails integrate-with --ant

See http://grails.org/doc/latest/ref/Command%20Line/integrate-with.html

Grails may generate a build.xml file "under the hood", but there's no reason for you to worry about this, because you don't work with Ant directly when developing with Grails. Instead you use Grails commands (like create-app) to create, build, test, deploy, etc. Grails applications.

The create-app command creates a new application. To run the application, execute the command grails run-app from the root directory of the project.
