Re: [nant-dev] Problems with basedir beginning with ../

[Ian MacLean]

does it work if you specify the full path to
"../Core/${build.dir}/${package.name}/bin" ?
what does ../Core/${build.dir}/${package.name}/bin look like when the
prpoerties are expanded ? - use echo to pipe it to sdtout
I created a sample very similar to yours and the ../ notation is working 
fine.

Also if you could run it thru the debugger and find the exact string 
passed to System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(String path) that would be helpful.

Ian,

this is my target:

<target name="build" depends="init">
  <csc target="exe" debug="${build.debug}"
    output="${build.dir}/${package.name}/bin/multicaster.test.exe">
    <sources basedir="test" failonempty="true">
      <includes name="MulticasterTest.cs" />
    </sources>
    <references basedir="../Core/${build.dir}/${package.name}/bin">
      <includes name="*.dll"/>
    </references>
  </csc>
</target>
... and these are the error messages produced by NAnt:

INTERNAL ERROR

System.NotSupportedException: The given path's format is not supported.

As you can see, NAnt doesn't accept the basedir specified
for the <refereces> element. I've this problem on both Windows
and Linux.
