Summary: Project.Document object doesn't reflect buildfile includes
Initial Comment:
Hi,
Many of my NAnt scripts combine "static" NAnt targets
with additional data that is added dynamically as the
build script executes. For example, I have some
boilerplate code to perform NDoc generation, produce
NUnit reports, etc. This boilerplate code has a blank
<fileset>, since I can't know in advance what assemblies
I'll want to test, document, etc. The assembly set on
which I perform each of these tasks is generated
automatically by parsing the solution file and the project
files it references, grabbing the project's XML document
object, and then importing new nodes into the
document. I find this an effective technique, and it
allows me to build a wide range of different solutions
using the same generic build script. However, I could do
a lot more with it if the project document were updated
with any additional targets included as a result of an
include/buildfile task. To illustrate what I mean, I've
appended a couple of files below. It's basically a project
file with a single target ("report"), which includes a
second build file with two further targets ("additional-
target-1", "additional-target-2"). When the "report" task
executes, it's no surprise that the additional targets
have been included in the project, so iterating through
project.Targets gives the expected result of 3 targets.
However, the project's XML document hasn't imported
the new targets, so it's impossible to gain a reference on
them in order to insert nodes, etc. I find this behaviour
inconsistent (and somewhat frustrating!) Has anyone
got any comments on this? Ideally, I'd like to see
project.Document always reflecting the "complete"
project's XML, which means merging in any additional
targets at the time buildfile includes get processed. This
way, I wouldn't have to distinguish between targets
which exist in the "main" project and those which are
added as a result of an "include" directive.
Regards,
Alex Hildyard
