Ah I see that NAnt does not allow it's properties to mutate at all. That simplifies things nicely. You are forced to make your tasks atomic.
That would pretty much prevent me from doing what I want to do unless I had my tasks write information out to a temp file. I have to say I like the simplicity of the atomic operation. It is a slippery slope down the scripting language path.

It is a little more generic, and doesn't require us to add the negative condition to all the tests. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Miller > Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 2:16 PM > To: Nant-Developers (E-mail) > Subject: [nant-dev] IFTask PropertyMissing parameter? > > Does anyone have a problem with adding a property to the If task allowing > you to check to see if a property is missing?
