I have a buildfile(default) with the following in a target:
<nant target="${build.target}">
<buildfiles>
<include name="fs.build"/>
<include name="pa.build"/>
</buildfiles>
</nant>
According to the docs for <nant>, all of the current property values
should be automatically passed to the build files. I assumed it would be
similar to -D:prop=value, but the build files process without any change
to their properties.
I then tried adding the following to my nant task, thinking that this
would make things work, but I still get the same result:
<properties>
<property name="fresh.build" value="${fresh.build}" overwrite="true"
readonly="true"/>
<property name="need.checkout" value="${need.checkout}"
overwrite="true" readonly="true"/>
</properties>
The only way I have gotten things to work is by calling an exec task for
each of the build files, and manually constructing the arguments to pass
over. This seems somewhat brittle, and hackish. Is this behavior to be
expected? Am I doing something wrong?
All of the build files include a common.build buildfile that has some
properties declared at the global level. Would this be causing the
problem, and if so, can I get around it?
Thanks,
Steve
