I have a custom user task working pretty well but I have one other tweak
I'd like to make. I've noticed that ExecuteTask
returns void so I wasn't exactly how to signal NAnt if my task failed. I
had assumed that it would be bad to throw an exception from ExecuteTask
so the only other thing I could think of was to set a property at run time that
would gate the rest of my build. Here's what I've got: <?xml
version="1.0"?> <project name="NPD Master"
default="makefile-run"> <property
name="force" value="false"/> <property
name="makefiletask-ok"
value="false"/> <target
name="makefile-rebuild"> <makefiletask makefile="makefile.xml"
marker="makefile-norebuild"
force="${force}" mask="deps*.xml"
signalproperty="makefiletask-ok"/> </target> <target
name="makefile-run" depends="makefile-rebuild"> <nant if="${makefiletask-ok}"
buildfile="makefile.xml"/> </target> </project> Note that I define a property called "makefiletask-ok".
I pass the name of this property into the my task at
runtime. My task sets this propery to true or false
depending on whether it worked or not. Then I gate the rest of my build using
the "if" clause: <nant if="${makefiletask-ok}"
buildfile="makefile.xml"/> The down side to this approach is even when my task fails NAnt still ends
with the message "BUILD SUCCEEDED" (but properly skips the rest of
the build). If anyone has some ideas I'd love some help. James Lewis 480-308-3491 (w) 480-242-9632 (c) JDA Software Group, Inc. |
