Category: Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nils Benson (nbenson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Build fails when BuildAction for a file is invalid/missing Initial Comment: The problem lies here: nant 0.85.rc3 ManagedProjectBase.cs : 93 The BuildAction attribute of the XML node is referenced without first checking to see if it actually exists in the document. This causes the build to dir horribly with a mysterious "null reference exception". The .csproj files that caused this were all generated by VS.Net, so this param probably needs to be checked before use. I would suggest just defaulting to "Compile" and displaying a strong warning. I have made this particular change to my source tree and it seems to work fine: if( null != elemFile.Attributes[ "BuildAction" ] ) { buildAction = elemFile.Attributes [ "BuildAction" ].Value; } else { Log( Level.Error, string.Format( "Invalid or empty BuildAction for file: {0}", elemFile.Attributes [ "RelPath" ] ) ); } This happens to many (> 25%) of our projects, and we only use VS.NET 2003 and never hand-modify (or merge) project files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=1288969&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ nant-developers mailing list nant-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers
