RE: [Nant-users] environment::get-variable usage

[Kevin Kirkpatrick]

Thanks Bill and Merrill for your responses.  I tried putting quotes around the variable ‘build’ and got the following error.   Secondly, does anyone know where to find better documentation/help?   <property name="s2build01"                                           value="${environment::get-variable('BUILD')}"/> ------- D:\XPM\3.0\src\Esurance>nant target NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.1642.0; net-1.1.win32; nightly; 6/30/2004) Copyright (C) 2001-2004 Gerry Shaw NAnt Team   Buildfile: file:///D:/XPM/3.0/src/xpm.build Target(s) specified: target   init:      [tstamp] Monday, June 06, 2005 2:12:59 PM.   target:   BUILD FAILED   INTERNAL ERROR   System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.    at System.Boolean.Parse(String value)    at System.Convert.ToBoolean(String value)    at NAnt.Core.Tasks.IfTask.get_ConditionsTrue() in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Tasks\IfTask.cs:line 271    at NAnt.Core.Tasks.IfNotTask.get_ConditionsTrue() in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Tasks\IfTask.cs:line 390    at NAnt.Core.Tasks.IfTask.ExecuteTask() in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Tasks\IfTask.cs:line 333    at NAnt.Core.Task.Execute() in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Task.cs:line 176    at NAnt.Core.Target.Execute() in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Target.cs:line 249    at NAnt.Core.Project.Execute(String targetName, Boolean forceDependencies) in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Project.cs:line 870    at NAnt.Core.Project.Execute() in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Project.cs:line 827    at NAnt.Core.Project.Run() in d:\nant\src\NAnt.Core\Project.cs:line 895   Please send bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Total time: 1.1 seconds.     D:\XPM\3.0\src\>   -----Original Message----- From: Bill Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 2:08 PM To: Kevin Kirkpatrick; nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nant-users] environment::get-variable usage   You need single quotes round the variable name, otherwise NAnt will try to evaluate it as a property:   <property name="s2build01" value="${environment::get-variable('BUILD')}" />    I'm pretty sure that the environment variable lookup is not case sensitive so 'BUILD' and 'build' should both work.   HTH,   Bill   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Kevin Kirkpatrick Sent: 06 June 2005 21:57 To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nant-users] environment::get-variable usage I have a really stupid question.  Is the correct usage for this function, environment::get-variable?   <!-- nant version 0.85.1642.0 -- > <!-- to set property -->   <property name="s2build01"   value="${environment::get-variable(BUILD)}"/>   <!-- to call in .build -- >   <if test=”s2build01” >   </if>     Thanks.
