Sorry for my earlier post re: using filesets in <if>. The expected
syntax isn't <fileset>, it's <comparefiles>. Still, when I use
<comparefiles>, there's still problems. I found that it's because the
fileset in comparefiles isn't set up properly. Basically, there's a
bug. I've fixed it in my version of the source. I don't know where/how
to officially submit it to the responsible parties, so I'll just do it
here.
1) test that fails:
<property name="doGen" value="false" />
<if uptodateFile="c:\bob.txt" >
<comparefiles>
<includes name="d:\*.txt" />
</comparefiles>
<property name="doGen" value="true" />
</if>
I.e: given a c:\bob.txt file that's older than d:\*.txt, goGen should
become true but doesn't. Actually, nant crashes.
2) the fix:
2.a) Do init the fileset locally
protected FileSet _compareFiles = new FileSet();
2.b) just add to it in the singular
[TaskAttribute("compareFile")]
public string CompareFile {
set {
_compareFiles.Includes.Add(value);
}
}
2.c) provide a getter, not a setter
[FileSet("comparefiles")]
public FileSet CompareFiles {
get { return _compareFiles; }
}
3) mild gripe about names:
3.a) It seems that if is the only task that has mixed case param names.
Everywhere else, it's all lower-case.
<if uptodateFile="" compareFile="" >
Could/should be
<if uptodatefile="" comparefile="" >
3.b) <comparefiles> is the only fileset that's not called <fileset>,
that I can see. Nice touch, but it had me confused for a while.
