I am attempting to manage build dependencies by setting a property in a target and
then filtering on that property using "unless", which should avoid running that target
since the property was set.
Below is an example of the code I am trying:
<project name="masterbuild" default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
<echo message="init"/>
</target>
<target name="first" depends="init" unless="first_built">
<echo message="first"/>
<property name="first_built" value="true"/>
<echo message="${first_built}"/>
</target>
<target name="second" unless="second_built" depends="first">
<echo message="${first_built}"/>
<property name="second_built" value="true"/>
</target>
<target name="main">
<antcall target="first"/>
<antcall target="second"/>
</target>
</project>
My output is:
main:
init:
[echo] init
first:
[echo] first
[echo] true
init:
[echo] init
first:
[echo] first
[echo] true
second:
[echo] true
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 9 seconds
The expectation is that "second" runs without going into "first".
Thoughts?
