I'm having a problem with the <include /> task trying to load a local
properties file from a global properties file. The following build files
should explain the problem:
===========================
C:\Dev\project\ui\ui.build
===========================
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<project name="project.ui" basedir="." default="build" xmlns="
http://nant.sf.net/release/0.86-beta1/nant.xsd";>
<property name="root.dir" value=".." />
<include buildfile="${root.dir}/properties.build" />
<target name="build" depends="init">
... compile project etc etc ... this works just fine ...
</target>
<target name="dist" depends="build">
<echo message="Property is needed here: ${server.base}" />
</target>
</project>
===========================
C:\Dev\project\properties.build
===========================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project name="global.properties" xmlns="
http://nant.sf.net/release/0.86-beta1/nant.xsd";>
<property name="src.dir"
value="${path::get-full-path(project::get-base-directory())}" />
<property name="build.dir" value="${src.dir}\build" />
<!-- Load local properties if it exists -->
<property name="local.properties" value="${root.dir}\local.properties.xml"
/>
<if test="${file::exists(local.properties)}">
<echo message="Local properties file exists!" />
<include buildfile="${path::get-full-path(local.properties)}" />
</if>
</project>
===========================
C:\Dev\project\local.properties.xml
===========================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project name="local.properties" xmlns="
http://nant.sf.net/release/0.86-beta1/nant.xsd";>
<property name="server.base" value="http://localhost:8080/server/"; />
</project>
===========================
BUILD OUTPUT - C:\Dev\project\ui>nant.exe -buildfile:ui.build -nologo dist
===========================
Buildfile: file:///C:/Dev/project/ui/ui.build
Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
Target(s) specified: dist
[echo] Local properties file exists!
init:
compile.models:
compile.views:
compile.presenters:
compile:
build:
dist:
BUILD FAILED
C:\Dev\project\ui\ui.build (46,8):
Property evaluation failed.
Expression: ${server.base}
^^^^^^^^^^^
Property 'server.base' has not been set.
Total time: 0.3 seconds.
===========================
When running the ui build script, everything works until it needs to
reference properties that are found in local.properties.xml. I reference
properties that are defined in properties.build and those work just fine. I
can't find anything on the nant website that would explain this problem. Any
suggestions would be very welcome!
Thank You,
BF
