I am using a NAnt 0.84 script to build two Visual Studio C# DLLs. Originally, the
script I inherited used the <exec> task below to build the first DLL:
<exec workingdir="${cvs.basepath}" program="${devenv}" >
<arg value="${QAFramework.sln}" />
<arg value="/build" />
<arg value="${buildconfig.name}" />
<arg value="/out" />
<arg value="${build.out.path}" />
</exec>
<copy todir="${build.dir}"
file="${QAFramework.src}\bin\${buildconfig.name}\QAFramework.dll" />
This <exec> has the effect of calling Visual Studio C# .NET to compile the QAFramework
solution. After the .sln file had been compiled, I copied the resulting file to where
I wanted it: ${build.dir}.
Then, I read in something I stumbled over on the net about NAnt that the preferred way
to compile a Visual Studio solution was to use the NAnt <solution> task. It
explicitedly disparaged using <exec> to execution devenv.exe. So, I converted the
above to the following:
<solution solutionfile="${QAFramework.sln}"
configuration="${buildconfig.name}"
outputdir="${build.dir}" />
This all worked beautifully on my machine. However, on my co-worker's machine, there
was a progress message to the effect that 111 files had been copied to ${build.dir},
when less than 50 should have been copied. Examining that directory showed what
appears to be a lot of system DLLs. The <solution> execution then continued on to get
an internal error.
Any idea why so many extra files were copied?
I noticed that the <solution> task includes a includevsfolders attribute. I didn't
know what it did, so I accepted the default of true. Could this attribute be involved
since its description sounds like it is tied to the Visual Studio installatino in some
way?
