Actually, in the original posting, version-info-script was a property
that was initialised with the name of the file in question, rather than
being the actual file name itself. As such, it shouldn't be escaped at
all.
Instead of either of these,
<if test="${not file::exists(${version-info-script})}">
<if test="${not file::exists('version-info-script')}">
Simply use this
<if test="${not file::exists(version-info-script)}">

Don't use ${ } inside an existing expression. You use it once to say
this in an expression.. from there Nant knows how to find the keywords,
etc
So instead of <if test="${not
file::exists(${version-info-script})}">
Use <if test="${not file::exists('version-info-script')}">
Assuming 'version-info-script' is the name of the file you are looking
for. Strings put in ' ' , function names and property names just put in
directly.
See this for some tips on this very point

Subject: [NAnt-users] properties in functions
I'm coming to NAnt from an ant background, but I'm trying to adapt.
The documentation for
<available/>
says that it's deprecated & recommends using functions instead.
I prefer to parameterize as much as possible, so I wrote
<if test="${not file::exists(${version-info-script})}">
<fail message="version script ${version-info-script} not
available" />
</if>
NAnt doesn't like this much:
Unexpected token 'Dollar'.
Expression: ${not file::exists(${version-info-script})}
I guess I am forced me to code the file name itself inside the
function call. Is there another way? Doing conditionals in ant is
ugly in a different way, admittedly.
