Actually I have come to the conclusion that the <p4change> task is broken. I have looked at the source code and have some ideas on how to fix it (and hopefully when things settle down in my work, I can take the time to submit a "fixed" version to the community.)
Having looked at the code, I believe it's broken because it winds up calling p4.exe twice when creating a changelist. It calls p4.exe the first time when examining the attributes to find and/or create a changelist with the specifed description and then again to either delete (if delete="yes") or "create" the change. But since the first call created the changelist, the second forces it to be edited. The fix is to ensure that p4.exe only gets called once when creating a change. In the short term, I am using a custom task to create the change. (It uses some of the existing utility code to parform the work and include all of the info from the <p4set> task.) Is anyone else out there using the <p4xxx> tasks? (My original question is over a week old.) -Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Feldman Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 9:34 AM To: Nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nant-users] Perforce p4change command [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > We are switching from Source Safe to Perforce and I am trying to use > the <p4...> tasks. > > I am having a problem with the <p4change> command. > > I am trying to create a changelist as part of my build script to hold > changes to files containing version numbers.
