Hi,
I have a build file that looks like:
<include buildfile="cisdb.include" />
<loadtasks assembly="CustomNAntTasks.MyPartNumbering.dll" />
<if test="${property::exists('CCNetLabel')}">
<property name="version" value="${CCNetLabel}" />
<echo message="setting version to be ${version}" />
</if>
<target name="get.part.number" description="Create the Part Number for
this build">
<property name="partNumber"
value="${imspartnumber::get-part-number(partNumberRoot,version)}" />
<echo message="my part number is ${partNumber}" />
</target>
My included build file defines a property called partNumberRoot. My
build script correctly found this property until I included it as a
parameter to a custom function that I wrote. If I try to run the
get.part.number target, I get an error that the partNumberRoot property
is not defined (complete error at the end of this email). If I define
the property on the command line, the custom function works fine.
Is there some issue with trying to use a property defined in another
file when calling a custom function?
I'm using nant 0.86 beta1 (but I also tried a nightly build I have from
1/30/2009).
Thanks,
Beth
