eric,

it does look like the syntax is as advertized.

i thought you had other slingshot tasks in your projects.  what's different here?

as i look in the code for SlingshotTask, i see there's some confusion about how OptionSets are iterated.  pls. try something crazy like the following and see whether it goes:

 

<project name="Web">
   <slingshot solution="Project.SubProject.Web.sln" format="nant" output="MySolution.build">
       <parameters>
           <build.basedir value="bin"/>
       </parameters>
       <maps>
           <option name="http://localhost" value="."/>
       </maps>
  </slingshot>
</project>

 

if that's so, it's really wacky but at least you're going.

the code i'm talking about is the following in SlingshotTask.cs.  it's there because i'd found inconsistencies in how <parameters> returns options...

 

        /// <summary>Converts an <see cref="OptionSet"/> to a <see cref="Hashtable"/>.</summary>
        private Hashtable OptionSetToHashtable(OptionSet options, string optionSetName) {

 

            Hashtable convertedOptions = new Hashtable();

 

      if (options != null) {
        foreach (object option in options) {
          string name;
          string value;
          if ( option is OptionValue ) {
            OptionValue ov = (OptionValue) option;
            name  = ov.Name;
            value = ov.Value;
          } else if ( option is OptionElement ) {
            OptionElement oe = (OptionElement) option;
            name  = oe.OptionName;
            value = oe.Value;
          } else {
             throw new BuildException( string.Format( "Invalid Option type {0} in {1} OptionSet", option.GetType(), optionSetName) );
          }
          Log.WriteLine( LogPrefix + " -- {0} = {1}", name, value );

 

                    // name must be specified
                    if (name == null) {
                        string msg = String.Format("Unspecified name for <{0}> option '{1}'", optionSetName, name);
                        throw new BuildException(msg);
                    // value must be specified
                    } else if (value == null) {
                        string msg = String.Format("Unspecified value for <{0}> option '{1}'", optionSetName, name);
                        throw new BuildException(msg);
                    } else {
                        convertedOptions.Add(name, value);
                    }
                }
            }

 

            return convertedOptions;
        }

 

    }

 

HTH  ! ??

Subject: [Nant-users] slingshot task

I'm experiencing a problem with slingshot:

 

D:\projects\procard>nant -f:BuildWebBuild.build
NAnt version 0.8.3 Copyright (C) 2001-2003 Gerry Shaw
http://nant.sourceforge.net

Buildfile: file:///D:/projects/procard/BuildWebBuild.build
[slingshot] Converting ProCard.Centre.Web.sln to MySolution.build using nant format
[slingshot]  -- option = bin
Total time: 0 seconds.

BUILD FAILED

The <parameters> option 'build.basedir' is required.

 

My <parameters> option contains build.basedir as follows:

 

<project name="Web">
   <slingshot solution="Project.SubProject.Web.sln" format="nant" output="MySolution.build">
       <parameters>
           <option name="build.basedir" value="bin"/>
       </parameters>
       <maps>
           <option name="http://localhost" value="."/>
       </maps>
  </slingshot>
</project>

 

I'm having the problem no matter which version of the binaries I download.  Anybody have a clue?

 

Thanks,

Eric
