Re: [Nant-users] How to list available targets?

You're right Jean. In fact I was thinking much the same thing after I posted. -projecthelp should just be informational.

Ian,

if there were no side-effects to initializing the build file(s), i'd say
"why not", but it seems it's a little more complex than that -- you'd
want to process <property> and <include> but no other project-level
task, then show the target list.   so, is it worth your while?  also,
wouldn't we still want an xslt layer to better control the output
format?

/jean



Should the -projecthelp option do the same thing by default ? Rightnow it uses xslt to process the build file - ie it doesn't actually load/Initialize the project.

Ian



i'm looking in NAnt.core source code to figure this out.

Project has TargetCollection called Targets
TargetCollection contains Target
Target has properties  .Name, .Desc, ....


<target name="showTargets" >
<echo message="Here are the available targets in this

project and 

its includes:" />
  <script language="C#">
    <code><![CDATA[
      public static void ScriptMain(Project project) {
        foreach( Target t in project.Targets )
        {
          Console.WriteLine( t.Name );
          Console.WriteLine( "  " + t.Desc);
        }
      }
    ]]></code>
  </script>
</target>

Fabulous. That's what I've been looking for. How could I get
the descriptions along with that?

Thanks,
Sundar

good point about includes.
here's a target that lists all loaded targets
so, to invoke it you'd say:  >nant showTargets

<target name="showTargets" >
  <echo message="Here are the available targets in this
project and its includes:" />
  <script language="C#">
    <code><![CDATA[
      public static void ScriptMain(Project project) {
        foreach( Target t in project.Targets )
          Console.WriteLine( t.Name );
      }
    ]]></code>
  </script>
</target>

It will return all of the targets in the main/default

build file, but

if that build file includes files with additional targets, those included targets are not listed.

I'll leave it to others to decide if this is a feature or

a bug. :-)

If you type "nant -projecthelp" you will get exactly what you want.

Let me re-phrase the question.

I need to let the user know of my targets. When user enters "nant targets" in my project directory, I want to list all the available targets in my build file.

nant -projecthelp

Also, when your targets have "description" attribute it will be printed as well.

There's also NAntMenu shell extension which provides this

information

when you right-click on *.nant file.

Hello,

I have a build file that has several targets? How do I




let the user

of the targets, when he tries it.




Help is appreciated.
