Don't worry, fixed:
<target name="check_envfile" unless="${Eden.envfile.set}">
should be:
<target name="check_envfile" unless="Eden.envfile.set">
Knew it was simple.

Subject: Failing if properties file not found
Hi,
I am trying to build ant script that will fail in the case where a
particular properties file is not loaded, where the name of the properties
file is specified as a property on the command line. I have tried the
following, which works fine if the file is not loaded, however it also fail
if I have a correct file specified.
Commands to run:
> ant (Fails as it should)
> ant -DEden.envfile=some_existing_file.props (Fails even though the file is
loaded, checked this through the verbose output).
<property name="CONFIGDIR" value="${basedir}/Config"/>
<property name="Eden.envfile" value="[unspecified]"/>
<property file="${CONFIGDIR}/${Eden.envfile}"/>
<target name="check_envfile" unless="${Eden.envfile.set}">
<echo message="${Eden.envfile}"/>
<fail message="Enviroment file not specified, please specify
-DEden.evnfile=[filename] on the command line"/>
</target>
<target name="build">
<available file="${CONFIGDIR}/${Eden.envfile}"
property="Eden.envfile.set"/>
<antcall target="check_envfile"/>
</target>
I am probably missing something obvious, as I am a bit of a newbie.
Thanks in advance,
Michael Barker
