I don't think I clearly stated my problem and question.
1) I need a sub-build to set properties that will be available to the
calling build.
2) Using inheritall on the nant task does not seem to work.
3) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work?
I'm thinking my example is clear enough, but just in case...
The problem is that the last echo produces:
[echo] 3) basename = 'basename_Mod'
When I want:
[echo] 3) basename = 'basename_SubMod'
Thanks again,
Cash

Subject: [Nant-users] nant Task with inheritall
I cannot reproduce the following expected behavior: In a Base NAnt build
file set a property value (in my example 'basename') then invoke an NAnt
task, using the 'inheritall' attribute set to 'true', modify the property
and have the modification in my Base NAnt process.
In my example it changes the value in the SubTest1.build but when I echo it
after coming back, it is back to what it had been. This acts 'Read-Only',
which I thought the inheritall dealt with. It acts the same with or without
inheritall. If I put inheritall='false' I do get the expected error when
using the uninitialized property.
Thanks in advance,
Cash
