Yes, you are correct. This is a bug that has been fixed in the nightly builds (it affects both the <if> and <ifnot> tasks). This fix will be included in the next release.
If you would like you can test the nightly build to see if your problem goes away. http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/builds/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sayah, Jeff (HHoldings, CALMS/IT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Ian MacLean'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Sayah, Jeff (HHoldings, CALMS/IT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 9:29 AM Subject: RE: [Nant-users] Fail Task > Ian, > > Since I sent My original message I have been digging into my build process > trying to determine what is not working and I've figured out that it is not > the nested call but something I'm doing inside the nested call.
