[Nant-users] how do i get excludes to exclude?

Title: how do i get excludes to exclude?

Hey everyone,

I’m new to NAnt, so forgive me if this has already been discussed….

I can’t get the fileset excludes to work.  I’m trying to copy a set of files except for a few that are a certain file type.  This is the general format I’ve used:

<copy todir=”copytodir”>

  <fileset basedir=”copyfromdir” >

    <includes name=”**” />

    <excludes name=”*.cs” />

  </fileset>

</copy>

When I used this, it still copied everything except the defaultexcludes.  So, since that didn’t work, I tried to exclude just one file, switching the includes & excludes statements, etc…  No exclusion has worked.

I’m using NAnt-0.84 on Windows Server 2003 SE.  Am I using this wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Jen
