[ccnet-user] If preprocessor directive is not recognized

[Przemysław Włodarczak]

Hi,

I use ccnet v. 1.5.7256.1
I have following snippet in one of my project in ccnet.config file:

      <tasks>
        <!-- main build -->
        <cb:if expr="'$(BuildControls)'=='true'">
          <msbuild>
              <!-- omitted for brevity
          </msbuild>
        </cb:if>
        <cb:else>
        </cb:else>
        <msbuild>
              <!-- omitted for brevity
        </msbuild>
      </tasks>

However, when ccnet tries to load this, fails with exception:

ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.Config.Preprocessor.EvaluationException:

Boolean usesShadowCopying)

It looks lika if command is not recognized. Instead preprocessor looks
for variable named "if".
What am I doing wrong?
