Hi,

 

I'm trying to make my build scripts a bit more maintainable.  Part of
the build script's job is to tag code into svn and export code from svn.
We have a directory in svn called 'thirdParty' to hold our thirdParty
libs.    The thirdParty directory holds thirdParty libs for many
different applications.

 

In my application build script, I am currently itemizing each individual
thirdParty folder in both the target that tags the source code and the
target that exports the source code.  If I add a new thirdParty
dependency, I have to remember to update the build script in both
places.  

 

What I'd like to do is keep a "list" of thirdParty dependencies by my
application in a single place.  Then in both the tag and export targets
iterate over that list and build the appropriate command from the items
in that list.  I'm trying to use fileset and foreach tasks to accomplish
this, but so far I haven't been able to get it to work.

 

My fileset looks like (this is not contained in a target):

  <fileset id="thirdPartyDirs" >

    <include name="LLBLGenPro_v2.6" asis="true" />

    <include name="AjaxControlToolkit" asis="true" />

  </fileset>

 

And here's a portion of my target for exporting using the foreach task:

<target name="export.source.new" description="Gets the latest files from
Svn">

 

    <foreach item="String" property="thirdParty.name" >

      <in>

        <items refid="thirdPartyDirs" />

      </in>

      <do>

        <echo message="found ${thirdParty.name}"/>

        

        <exec program="svn">

          <arg value="export" />

          <arg value="--force" />

          <arg
value="${export.source.root}/thirdParty/${thirdParty.name}" />

          <arg
value="${buildarea.application.thirdparty}/${thirdParty.name}" />

        </exec>

      </do>

    </foreach>

...

 

Something is not set up quite right as the message "found
${thirdParty.name}" never gets printed.

 

What am I missing?  Or, if there is a easier/better way to accomplish
the same thing using different tasks, please let me know.

I am using the latest nightly build: (Build 0.86.3412.0; nightly;
5/5/2009)

 

Thanks,

Beth
