[nant-dev] xmlpeek and namespaces

[Martin Aliger]

Hello all,   I find one problem with xmlpeek task:   <xmlpeek       file="${prjconfig}"       xpath="Project/ExeName"       property="newexe"       failonerror="false"/> fails on XML like:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project xmlns="http://www.gordic.cz/shared/project-config/v_1.0.0.0">   <ExeName>foo</ExeName> </Project>   The reason is namespace associated with XML file (see MSDN KB Q318545). To enable this we have to extend xmlpeek task to be namespace-aware. I suggest this syntax:   <xmlpeek       file="${prjconfig}"       xpath="x:Project/x:ExeName"       property="newexe"       failonerror="false">         <namespace name="x" ns="http://www.gordic.cz/shared/project-config/v_1.0.0.0"/> </xmlpeek> There, of course, could be more then one namespace...   Regards, Martin
