Summary: <exec>'s <arg/> evaluates even when if attr returns false
Initial Comment:
I use a lot of properties to control the flow of my
scripts (like a configuration file. But the following
(contrived) example will fail:
<property name="foo-defined" value="true"/>
<property name="foo" value="hello"/>
<property name="bar-defined" value="false"/>
<exec program="mycmd">
<arg if="${foo-defined}"
line="${properties::get-value('foo')}"/>
<arg if="${bar-defined}"
line="${properties::get-value('bar')}"/>
</exec>
because ${properties::get-value('bar')} can't be evaluated
It would make more sense if the argument line was only
evaluated if the "if" expression evaluated to true

I ran into a similar issue today within the <echo> task, where
I only wanted to echo the value of an externally-ran devenv
compile if I actually ran the compile. Code snippet:
<exec
program="devenv" commandline="${BaseDir}\
\.sln /build debug /out ${BuildLogDir}
\K2BizTalkDebugCompile.log" resultproperty="compile.result"
append="true" unless="${Config == 'release'}"/>
<echo
message="compile.result = ${compile.result}"
unless="${Config == 'release'}"/>
<if
test="${int::parse(compile.result) != 0}">
<fail
message="${ModuleName}.sln debug config compile using
devenv failed!"/>
</if>
Later in the same script I do the same check for running a
Release config build. If I run a Release only, this script fails
because the compile.result value is not set until the first time
I run devenv.
Please correct this so that the if / unless evaluation is
conducted before evaluating the inside properties of the
command itself. Thanks!
