Hi all, I've just completed the implementation of the stuff we discussed yesterday.
Right now I'm out of office and I don't have
CVS access due to proxy restrictions, so
attached to this email you will find the
modified files. I'll send you a patch tomorrow.
The modified files are:
NAnt.Core/Project.cs
line 81 added WildTarget const
line 132 added _currentTarget field
lines 410 - 416 added CurrentTarget property
lines 784 - 796 replaced do-while statement
lines 1415 - 1419 added wild targets handling
NAnt.Core/Functions/NAntFunctions.cs
lines 83 - 98 added GetCurrentTarget functioin
These modifications allow you to specify a wild target
that is executed when the user specifies a target that
does not exist in the current build file. Here's an
example:
<project
name="myProject"
default="build">
<target name="build">
<echo message="This is the build target."/>
</target>
<target name="*">
<echo message="This is the ${target::get-current-target()} target."/>
</target>
</project>
if you type
nant hello
from the command, you get the message "This is the hello target".
Furthermore, using the master-gateway-slave build file pattern is
much easier (see my previous emails). Here below is another
example.
Let's start with the usual project:
/myProject
+ default.build
+ /src
+ default.build
+ /Subproject
+ default.build
+ HelloWorld.cs
the master build file (/myProject/default.build) looks
like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project
name="myProject"
default="build">
<target
name="build"
description="Builds the current configuration">
<nant
buildfile="src/default.build"
target="${target::get-current-target()}"/>
</target>
<target
name="test"
description="Tests the current configuration">
<nant
buildfile="src/default.build"
target="${target::get-current-target()}"/>
</target>
<target
name="clean"
description="Deletes the current configuration">
<nant
buildfile="src/default.build"
target="${target::get-current-target()}"/>
</target>
</project>
... and the gateway build file (/myProject/src/default.build)
like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project
name="myProject"
default="*">
<target
name="*"
description="Builds recursively all subprojects">
<foreach
item="Folder"
property="foldername">
<in>
<items>
<includes name="*"/>
<excludes name="CVS"/>
</items>
</in>
<do>
<nant
buildfile="${foldername}/default.build"
target="${project.config} ${target::get-current-target()}"/>
</do>
</foreach>
</target>
</project>
I don't report the slave build file (/myProject/src/Subproject/default.build)
since it is like any other build file written till now.
Wild targets allow you to write more compact build files and
provide a standard way to handle unexpected targets.
What do you think about that?
