Summary: Functions do not accept variables
Initial Comment:
<property name="MyDir" value="c:\Blah" />
<mkdir dir="${MyDir}" />
<if test="${directory::exists('c:\blah')}">
<!-- Executed as expected -->
</if>
<if test="${directory::exists('${MyDir}')}">
<!-- The expression evaluates to false, so this
is never executed -->
</if>
Obviously (?) NAnt is passing the '${VAR}' literal to the function without
parsing. I'm pretty sure this is not true for all functions..? I think.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it just cost me three hours of
work =)
Simple repro attached. I'm looking at the 0.85 source to see if there's a
simple cure for this that I can submit as a patch but I wanted to upload this
because I couldn't find a reference to this problem in the SF.NET tracker.
Maybe someone can tell me if this is a known problem.
