Re: [NAnt-users] Setting property after reading from a file.

[Rod Ayers]

Hi, Niranjan....

 

I did that quite easily with a response file.  Here's a snippet from the batch file I used:

NAnt @myapp.response %*

 

The "@" indicates that myapp.response is a response file.  The extension has no particular meaning, and could even be omitted.

 

The %* added any parms passed to the CMD file when it was exewcuted at the command line.

 

Here are some lines from the response file...just like you indicated.  The "#" indicates a comment line; it isn't parsed.  The other lines follow the NAnt command line requirment:  The "-D" indicates the a property/value pair Note that properties initialized from a respons file will be marked readonly in the NAnt script during execution.

-buildfile:NAnt.build
-l:MyApp.log

 

-D:app.build.number=05.12.08.02

 

#-D:app.asminfo.AssemblyCopyright=2004
#-D:app.asminfo.AssemblyProduct=MyApp
#-D:app.asminfo.AssemblyTrademark=MyCompany
#-D:app.asminfo.CLSCompliant=true

 

#-D:app.bypass.vss=true
#-D:app.bypass.vss.all=true

 

-D:app.file.buildfile=MyApp.build
-D:app.file.properties=MyApp.properties

 

I tired to be more creative with a properties file, not unlike what you tried, but haven't gotten it to work just right.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Setting property after reading from a file.

Hello All,

 

I have a text file info.txt that contains some version specific information like:

MAJORVERSION=4.0

MINORVERSION=11

BRANCHINFO=COR

 

What I need to do is create some properties like majorversion, minorversion and branchinfo in NAnt and assign these values after reading from the txt file. In short, whenever there is a change in the version or branch value, I should change only this text file and not the build file. Is this possible?

 

I have tried using foreach item=Line in filename property=some value, but this only sets the last value to the property as the previous 2 value get overwritten. Loadfile is also not of much help.

 

Rgds,

Niranjan
