Hello,
in my ant script, I define a task "MyTask" via "macrodef". The task has a
mandatory attribute "nodeName" (not the camelCase name).
Then I call the task from a javascript snippet:
var myTask = project.createTask('myTask');
myTask.setDynamicAttribute("nodeName", "blah");
myTask.perform();
This does not work because I use the camleCase name in the call to
setDynamicAttribute. Later, when the task is performed, I get an error that the
attribute "nodename" (lowercase!) is not set.
In the source of MacroInstance I see that attribute names are converted to
lower case when they are retrieved. But why are they not converted when they
are set?
When I use this (note the lowercase name)
myTask.setDynamicAttribute("nodename", "blah");
everything works. But here I''m forced to use an attribute name I didn't
specify (I specified "nodeName").
Why is it made this way?
I see one reason for converting everything to lower case -- to avoid errors due
to a wrong capitalizing. But then the conversion should be done everywhere,
i.e. when getting and when setting the attributes.
Regards
AL
