Re: [nant-dev] Patch for resultproperty and outputproperty attributes for

[Ian MacLean]

Thanks James - but it looks like we're going to see about creating a 
general task outputs framework using in-memory xml representations. I'd 
like to see where that discussion goes before committing this patch.

Ian, here is a new version that adds attribute "outputpropertymode".  It can be
set to standard, error, or all. The default is all. I've also corrected a small
bug where I was not adding a linefeed to the output.

Quoting Ian MacLean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

 

James,
This looks good. However I'm wondering if it would be better to use
seperate properties for stderr and stdout

Here is a patch that adds two badly needed features (well..., at least for
     

me
   

:-)) to the <exec/> task.

One is resultproperty, which is used to specify a property that will receive
     

the
   

exit code of the process (it more useful when failonerror is false).

The other one is outputproperty, which is used to specify a property that
     

will
   

receive the output of the process.  Unlike Ant, this includes both the
     

standard
   

and error streams and works regardless if the output has been redirected to
     

a
   

file.  This is very handy for programs like perforce were the output of the
command is needed to determine build events later on in the script.
The data return for both properties is always that last execution of the
     

process
   

(for example, if you use retrycount).

James.
