Well, I'm a NAnt newbie myself, but I can give you some pointers.
The ${...} construct is used to evaluate an expression, not just get the
value of a property.
So, you want something like this:
<if test="${ property::exists('ccnet.buildcondition') and
ccnet.buildcondition='ForceBuild'}">
...
</if>
Hope this helps,
Bevan.

Subject: [Nant-users] Conditions on a property value?
I'm very new to Nant, so this might be obvious, but how exactly can I do
conditional things based on the *value* of a property?
I've seen the <if> task
(http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/tasks/if.html), and it
seems I can do just about anything except for check the value of the
property.
Towards, the bottom, there's a brief mention of the test parameter, but
it
doesn't work at all for me:
<if test="${ccnet.buildcondition}='ForceBuild'">
<property name="build" value="rebuild"/>
</if>
This complains that an if task always needs a propertyexist or some
other
one. If I add propertiexists on top of test, test is ignored and the
condition of <if> appears to be always true.
I also tried doing
<property name="build" value="build"
if="${ccnet.buildcondition}='ForceBuild'"/>
but it claims that the expression in the if statement is not valid and
it
doesn't know how to compare it.
This has to be really trivial. Any idea?
Thanks!
