I'm using nant 0.85 rc3 on an xppro box I am using a variable to hold the word "build" (which is my build directory)
however, directory::exists seems to be working unexpectedly. specifically notice that what looks like "exists('build')" seems to return both true and false. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks Malcolm Here's my script foo <target name="foo"> <property name="build.dir" value="build" /> <echo message="build.dir = '${build.dir}'"/> <echo message="directory::exists('${build.dir}') = ${directory::exists('${build.dir}')}"/> <echo message="directory::exists('bin') = ${directory::exists('bin')}"/> <echo message="directory::exists('build') = ${directory::exists('build')}"/> <echo message="attempting to delete build dir"/> <delete dir="${build.dir}" if="${directory::exists('${build.dir}')}"/> <echo message="directory::exists('build') = ${directory::exists('build')}"/> </target> now here's my results ************** NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.1869.0; rc2; 2/12/2005) Copyright (C) 2001-2005 Gerry Shaw http://nant.sourceforge.net Buildfile: file:///C:/Program Files/CruiseControl.NET/server/Hegemony/WorkingDirectory/Hegemony.build Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Target(s) specified: foo foo: [echo] build.dir = 'build' [echo] directory::exists('build') = False [echo] directory::exists('bin') = False [echo] directory::exists('build') = True [echo] attempting to delete build dir [echo] directory::exists('build') = True BUILD SUCCEEDED Total time: 0.1 seconds. ************** "Oh Bother!" said the Borg, "We just assimilated Pooh." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
