Hi Gert,
I've looked at this deeply and stated the problem was
due to my huge ignorance!
Look at this build file:
<project name="target-test" default="build">
<property name="my.dir" value="mydir" />
<property name="my.file" value="myfile.cs" />
<target name="build">
<mkdir dir="${my.dir}" failonerror="false" />
<touch file="${my.dir}/${my.file}" />
<call target="myFileExists"
if="${file::exists('${my.dir}/${my.file}')}" />
<delete file="${my.dir}/${my.file}" />
<call target="myFileDoesNotExist"
unless="${file::exists('${my.dir}/${my.file}')}" />
</target>
<target name="myFileExists">
<echo message="${target::get-current-target()} executed" />
</target>
<target name="myFileDoesNotExist">
<echo message="${target::get-current-target()} executed" />
</target>
</project>
Do you see something wrong? YES! The parameter passed to the
file::exists() function in the <call> tasks is absolutely WRONG!
When using properties as function parameters, one shouldn't enclose
them in single quotes and curly braces... so the correct <call>
tasks should look like these:
<call target="myFileExists"
if="${file::exists(my.dir + '/' + my.file)}" />
...
<call target="myFileDoesNotExist"
unless="${file::exists(my.dir + '/' + my.file)}" />
I'm really sorry for that,
j3d.
