Summary: The <available> task should have else attribute
Product: Ant
Version: 1.8.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
With Ant's awesome new support of true/false properties on if/unless attributes
(a million times thank you, by the way!) it would be nice if the <available>
task supports an else attribute so the property value can be set to false if
the file/resource/whatever isn't available.
There is a workaround, something like:
<condition property="file-exists" else="false">
<resourceexists>
<file file="somefile.xml" />
</resourceexists>
</condition>
However, the <available> task is more succinct and (to my eyes) clearly states
the intent.
