I have a problem where a target defined in an <include>d build file isn't being found when I make it a dependency of a target in my main build file, although the file appears to have been <include>d successfully. The included build file is valid and runs correctly if I use it alone using the -f command line option.
I've cut the build files down to the bare minimum, and can still reproduce the problem. The files are shown below: test.build (a project-specific build file): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <project xmlns="http://hbosfs.com/DDC/DDCNAntSchema.xsd"; name="TestIncludeDirective" default="OuterTarget"> <include buildfile="include.build" verbose="true" failonerror="true" /> <target name="OuterTarget" depends="prepare"> <echo message="Outer target ran successfully" /> </target> </project> include.build (the included file, initialises department-wide settings): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <project xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc3/nantcontribandvault.xsd"; name="CommonProperties"> <target name="prepare"> <echo message="Preparations completed..." /> </target> </project> The include file appears to be loaded okay, but Nant then fails with an error indicating that the target "prepare" is unknown: NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.2007.0; nightly; 30/06/2005) Copyright (C) 2001-2005 Gerry Shaw http://nant.sourceforge.net Buildfile: file:///C:/brd/test.build Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Target(s) specified: OuterTarget [include] Including file C:\brd\include.build. BUILD FAILED Target 'prepare' does not exist in this project. It is used from target 'OuterTarget'. Total time: 0 seconds. I've tried both 0.85 RC 3 and the latest nightly (20050630), both exhibit the same problem. I'm running on a WinXP box, working on my local drive. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as its currently preventing me from factoring out lots of department-wide variables into an included build file used by all projects, meaning that my project specific (outer) build file is needlessly verbose and difficult to maintain.
