RE: [Nant-users] XSLT Generated Build File and deprecated uptodatefile attribute

[Troy Laurin]

Title: Message

Well, it looks like file::up-to-date falls quite short of the functionality that uptodatefile provided.   The file::up-to-date function should probably be extended to create: file::up-to-date-to-fileset(srcFile, targetFileSetRefId) file::fileset-up-to-date(srcFileSetRefId, targetFile) file::fileset-up-to-date-to-fileset(srcFileSetRefId, targetFileSetRefId)   Then your code would change similar to:   <fileset id="compareset">     <xsl:for-each select="...">         <!-- Same xsl tree from <comparefiles> element previously -->     </xsl:for-each> </fileset> <property name="build.required" value="false" if="${file::up-to-date-to-fileset(assembly.name + '.version', 'compareset')}" />     If NAnt functions support overloading, and named filesets could be referenced directly in functions, then the file::up-to-date function could just be overloaded: file::up-to-date(string srcFile, string targetFile) file::up-to-date(string srcFile, FileSet targetFileSet) file::up-to-date(FileSet srcFileSet, string targetFile) file::up-to-date(FileSet srcFileSet, FileSet targetFileSet)   and the test would become something like if="${file::up-to-date(assembly.name + '.version', @compareset)}".  I haven't looked at the source code for how functions and their arguments are parsed, so I don't know how hard this last would be (Or even if it's already implemented!)   It's probably worth putting in a RFE at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=31650&atid=402871 to extend the file::up-to-date function unless someone mentions that it's already been done.  Until then, I guess you get to live with a deprecation warning :-)     All the best,   -- Troy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bonnett, Evan A Sent: Wednesday, 23 June 2004 1:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'Cromwell, Ryan F.' Subject: [Nant-users] XSLT Generated Build File and deprecated uptodatefile attribute All,   I've included an <if> here that is using the deprecated uptodatefile.  NAnt warns that the attribute is deprecated and to use the ${file::uptodate(comparefile, uptodatefile)} function.   In this code below, it will set the ${build.required} property to false if all files are up to date.  Is there an easy (and clean) way to accomplish this using the file::uptodate() function?   <if uptodatefile=".\${{assembly.name}}.version" debug="true" verbose="true" failonerror="false">     <comparefiles>      <!-- References -->      <xsl:for-each select="./References/Reference">       <xsl:choose>        <xsl:when test="substring(@AssemblyName,1,6) = 'System'"> <!-- static assembly reference -->         <includes name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />        </xsl:when>        <!--Static References-->        <xsl:when test="@AssemblyName">         <!--We need to resolve this better.  We haven't copied these into the latest dir yet.         <includes name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />-->        </xsl:when>        <!-- Project references -->        <xsl:when test="@Project">         <!-- It is currently assumed that assembly names and root folder names are equal.-->         <includes name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]@Name}.version" />        </xsl:when>        <!-- COM object reference -->        <xsl:when test="@Guid">         <!-- This path doesn't exist yet         <includes name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />         -->        </xsl:when>       </xsl:choose>      </xsl:for-each>            <!--Code and Embedded Resources-->      <xsl:for-each select="../Files/Include/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Compile' or @BuildAction='EmbeddedResource' or @BuildAction='Content']">       <includes name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />      </xsl:for-each>            <!-- The project file may have changed -->      <includes name="${{project.path}}" />            <!-- The force.rebuild file allows us to force a rebuild even if there isn't a need to -->      <includes name="${{project.src}}\force.rebuild" />     </comparefiles>          <property name="build.required" value="false" />    </if>   Thanks, Evan A.
