RE: [Nant-users] task to test a target won't work

Jeroen,   Change this <if test="${target::exists('${bin}')}">   to   <if test="${directory::exists(bin)}">     The following script shows how to use the target function:   <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="App" default="test">     <property name="bin" value="build\bin"/>     <property name="nameTarget" value="Name" />     <target name="test">         <if test="${target::exists(nameTarget)}">             <echo message="target exists"/>         </if>         <if test="${directory::exists(bin)}">             <echo message="directory exists"/>         </if>     </target>     <target name="Name">     </target> </project>         Noel   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Jeroen Stiekema Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 1:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Nant-users] <if> task to test a target won't work   Hi,   I have a problem with the usage of the <if> task. I would like to test if a target exists. If the target exists, the target will be deleted.   <if test="${target::exists('${bin}')}">       <echo message="target exists"/>       <delete dir="${bin}"/> </if>   The ‘bin’ property is set to build\bin. I’m 100% sure the target exists, but the test will return false, so the if task won’t run. When I test the output of ‘target::exists(“build”)’ it also says ‘false’ (<echo message=”${target::exists(‘build’)}”/>). The directory ‘build’ does exists. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thanks in advance!   Jeroen
