I've been wrestling with getting a 'debug' value to cascade properly, and am
beginning to think there's an issue with how properties are defined.
So, this is what I tried:
file1:
<project name="file1" default="rel">
<property name="debug" value="true" />
<target name="rel">
<property name="debug" value="false" />
<nant buildfile="file2" inheritall="true" />
</target>
</project>
file2:
<project name="file2" default="compile">
<property name="debug" value="true" />
<target name="compile">
<csc debug="${debug}" ... />
</target>
</project>
Expected results in target='compile'
1) 'nant -f:file1' should result in debug=false (actual was true)
2) 'nant -f:file2' should result in debug=true
3) 'nant -f:file1 -D:debug=true' should result in debug=true
4) 'nant -f:file1' -D:debug=false should result in debug=false
Case 1 appears to be incorrect. Is inheritall begin ignored? Do I not
understand properties? Why are the other three producing expected results?
