[Nant-users] Problem with readonly attribute on property
I have a "top-level" build file in which I initialize several properties. It then calls a task in another build file that reads a properties file, updating properties previously initialized. I want to make sure that properties updated from the property file don't get overwritten anywhere in the script, so I tried teh following: item="Line" delim="=" property="property.name,property.value" > Everything weorks fine, except the readonly attribute is bein ignored. I had one property in the property file, build.number. But, right after the foreach, I was able to set build.number to a different value with another property statement, withouth an error or waraning. If I set readonly on the original property statement, any attempt to update the value results in the warning message: Read-only property "build.number" cannot be overwritten. Why doesn't readonly="true" work when I change the value of an existing property? Thanks, Rod
RE: [Nant-users] Problem with readonly attribute on property
Hi, Gert
I'm presently using 0.85-rc3. My next shot to work on it is Friday, and I
will download the latest Nant and NantContrib nightly builds.
A related question:
I'd like to check and see if the property named in property.name exists.
All the "valid" properties have already been assigned default values. If
property.name exists, I will override with the value in property.value, and
set to readonly="true". Otherwise, rehect the override from the property
file as an invalid property.
I've tried this:
With both a valid and invalid property in the property file. They both get
added because property.name exists (nuts!). I guess what I am trying to do
is double-derefernce (!)...I want to test for the property that is named in
property.name. How might that be done?
In an unrelated logic path, I wanted to create a property if it didn't
already exist; so I tried:

Rod,
What version of NAnt are you using ?
This is working just fine here.
Let me know if its working for you using a recent nightly build
(http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/latest).

I have tried those alternatives. What I had in mind, but didn't elaborate, is
running the script "as if it was really going to do some work", but only get

I assume you really mean exit from a target.
Usually the right way to solve this is to restructure the target,
separating the part that always gets executed from the part that's
optional. There are a number of way of doing this. You can use the
task with an if/unless condition. You could also put the
condition on the optional target. In some cases, you might want to omit
the condition from the first part, and instead have a parent target that
depends upon the two, with the condition on the optional target.

RE: [NAnt-users] Exiting a Task
Hi, Gary
Yes, I have used the "driver"/"worker" task pair in different contexts. E.g,
I've split a task to simplify what otherwise might be a rather convoluted "If".
There are a couple of situations I want to avoid. The easier one is to be able
to just look at the flow, and not "parse out" all the usual "processing
messages". I've tried using "global" properties, e.g., to control verbose, but
its not the cleanest way to go.
The other situation is where I don't have a complete environment available, or
I'm trying to assess task flow. Both of these conditions are presently true
right now as I'm starting up a BizTalk Build/Deploy autoamtion project. Yes, I
have found lots of sample code. Now I want to get an idea of how it all fits
together, so I can begin to sort out what I can "adapt" (use/configure/change),
and what I might have to add. I'm waiting and waiting for the support guys to
get my VMWare Build/Deploy "development" environmetns up, and trying to do
something profitable in the mean time.
For now, I will probably do something like:
...task housekeeping...

It sounds like you want something analogous to the -n option of make. I
know there have been times when I wanted that. Perhaps that's something
that can be put on the list for post 0.85.
You might be able to fake it by dividing your targets into two types:
those that manage control flow, and those that do work. Then you can
either put flags on the latter to prevent them from doing anything, or
put them into an include file, and have a parallel include file for just
tracing. Another possibility would be to use xslt to create a derived
build file with all the action tasks disabled, keeping just the
and control structures. None of these ideas are particularly
satisfactory, since they involve a fair bit of tedious work and intrude
upon the clarity of the build script, but they might get you by for a while.
Personally, I just test by using a scratch area. I don't do anything
with NAnt beyond its own build tree (e.g., I don't currently use NAnt to
tag builds, checkin files, or make any other changes that would affect
other developers). So the only harm in letting things run fully is the
extra time it takes to test. I handle that by keeping targets small,
and testing in small chunks. I don't know if the Ant community has
developed any better approaches, but I think that a really good system
for testing NAnt build scripts is some time away.

[NAnt-users] Using Include
Title: Using Include Hi, all I'm trying to get a clear understanding of the impact of using . 1. The contents of the included file makes the included code act as if it was all part of one build file. 2. Tasks in the included file would be invoked with , rather than as with "separate" build files. 3. Properties in included files would share the same "memory space" as the build file. Using separate files and would create's a child memory area where the child's properties exist, though the child can reference the parent's properties. Does that pretty well cover it? Thanks...!

you go...using those technical terms again..."mud".
I
wouldn't expect the basedir on the fileset to be recognized outside the fileset,
if not explicitly coded in another context. It's a property of the file
set.
Does
the key file exist in the same folder as the component?

Hey Rod,
Good question. I thought by
defining it in a fileset that would be good enough.
I read it as the directory definition in
the component is the target, deploy “to” folder. And the fileset
contains the files to build into the component.
:^\
I originally had it coded to represent
. I get the same failed
result with the build bin dir path in the key file value. But then in
reading the mail archives folks were saying the directory path is not
allowed. This is as clear as mud to me.

Hi, Kevin
Does know where to find
the dll? You have a folder specified on the component, and one on the
fileset. Is the value in {build.bin.dir} =
C:\Automation\Common\Assemblies? f not, might you need to code it as

Loadfile is also not of much help. To do it that way, you'd obviously have to parse the line that you read in order to extract the correct property name. But you'd be much better off either storing this information in XML or using the response file technique suggested by Rod Ayers. The advantage of the XML approach is that it avoids the readonly issue, and it is easier to just automatically update one entry without having to update the entire file. The advantage of the response file approach is that it's easier to understand, read, and get working in the first place.

Re: [NAnt-users] Shared Components
Hi, Eric I've got a couple of variations. For one, we have an "Assemblies" folder in VSS, and I can get from their. It's a little not neat, because I have to do a setup each Build separately. Also, I've found that Developers don't keep the shared folder current...or they make minor tweaks for their app, that don't apply generally. That makes a real mess out of "common/shared". What I did do was to create a local Assemblies folder under the Build folder. I used VSSGet to get the required shared assemblies folder from VSS, and put them in the local shared assemblies folder under the Build folder. I usually try to run with a set of "locked down" Build files...my personal copy of all the solution and .*proj files. That way I can set the references when I take on the Build, and they stay put. In this case, I kept my Build files in a separate folder under the project in VSS. Then, after I did the "get", I would copy my copy of the Build files over top of the code, so I always knew what I was using for the Build. And all the Builds were clean. Developers only needed to tell me if they made changes to the project or solution files, and that was rare once a new app got settled in. I've tried just getting the Assemblies from the VSS Assemblies folder, and having a local common assemblies folder. That kind of works, too, but I sometimes get crossed up with what the Developers do. More recently, I have a Build that has several shared assemblies, some for this project, some for that. In this case, I created an Assembly project (.vbproj), put all the assemblies in it, made the references relatively to the Assemblies project, and excluded the Assemblies project compile from all configurations (Development, Release). That's worked pretty well, since .Net knows to actually retrieve them from VSS and the Developer Builds work fine, and I get them easily, too. Things would be somewhat easier if every developer didn't have at least three different ways of structuring their local Build areas. I would prefer to run all shared/common assemblies from one folder, and handle the relative pathing when I set up the Build. But our Developers aren't quite that disciplined yet about a true common/shared folder.

Re: [NAnt-users] Shared Components
A great, helpful discussion I absolutely agree with the concept of treating "internally-created" assemblies/dll's in the same way as we would "third-party" stuff. It's a powerful concept, though I've known developers who seem to get really confused by the idea! Rod -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Archer Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 11:29 AM To: Eric Fetzer; Nant Users Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Shared Components Do you have a link to that article? He is absolutely right. When multiple projects are in a single solution using a project reference is the best way to do it. But, having all have to get all source to common projects and needing to rebuild that project is a pain. Or course, there is an advantage such as if you want to debug into the common code. As said above, I think in relation to a specific solution you should treat commonly shared DLLs that are created internally separate just as you do with third party DLLs. If you were using log4net you wouldn't add all the source code projects to your solution, right? You would just add a DLL reference. Also, if you are using VB.Net the more source code you have in the solution the slower things will go. This is due to the background compiler. We even pulled a project that was specific to our app out of the solution and use a DLL reference. This is the project with all the typed data sets. There is so much code in it that. But, since it isn't change to often we prefer to not have the background compiler chew on it every time we open our solution. Anyway, whatever works best will be fine. Keep in mind, a project can reside in multiple solutions. So, you can have solutions that you use for your build system and other solutions that your devs use. Of course, if you are not using the solution task it doesn't really matter. In my opinion though the important issue is to ensure that the versioning and building of the "common" stuff is kept separate from the applications that are dependant on it. But, some people like to have the developers and the build server run the same build scripts. I personally never found that necessary. Remember, if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Bob -Original Message- From: Eric Fetzer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 2:12 PM To: Bob Archer; Nant Users Subject: RE: [NAnt-users] Shared Components Actually, John Mischel at Microsoft put out an article entitled "Project Structure Best Practices" where he said (note paragraph 2): There are several different ways that you can structure your solutions and projects. The most common method is a single solution that contains multiple projects. This model works well for small and medium-large systems that consist of one or more project assemblies. It allows each member of your development team access to all of the projects in the solution, allowing them to build and deploy the entire solution on their local workstations. The single-solution has the following primary advantages and disadvantages: When you need to reference another assembly generated by a separate project, you can use a project reference. Project references are the preferred way to establish references to other assemblies and they are guaranteed to work on all development workstations in a team environment. In addition, because project references are sensitive to changes in the configuration of the referenced project, you can automatically switch from Debug and Release builds across projects without having to reset references. Assembly versioning issues are avoided, because Visual Studio .NET detects when a client of a referenced assembly needs to be rebuilt. The system build process and build script is much simpler. The model scales only so far. If you want to work on a single project within the solution, you are forced to acquire all of the source code for all projects within the solution. Due to project dependencies, even minor (non-breaking) changes to a single source file within a single project can result in a rebuild of many projects within the solution. If an assembly's interface changes within a referenced project, you want the client project to be rebuilt. However, unnecessary rebuilds can be very time consuming, especially for solutions containing many projects. --- Bob Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > MS has a white paper on this at > http://msdn.microsoft.com/practices/compcat/default.aspx?pull=/library/e > n-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_rm.asp > > And they list several ways of structuring a project. > But, no where do > they say which one is "best"... the basically say it depends on your > project and circumstances. > > BOb > > > -Original Message- > From: Eric Fetzer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 1:43 PM > To: Bob Archer; Nant Users > Subject: RE: [NAnt-users] Shared Components > > Thanks for your reply Bob and Rod! > > We've got a new t

so i take it that the only 2 options i have are:
1 - use string related functions
2 - extend nant

Re: [NAnt-users] bug in path::get-directory-name()?
Have you tried:
path::get-directory-name("c:\my-folder\")
or
path::get-directory-name("c:\my-folder\*.*")

Indeed...
[Function("get-directory-name")]
public static string GetDirectoryName(string path) {
string dirName = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
return StringUtils.ConvertNullToEmpty(dirName);
}
the function is a wrapper around the equivalent .NET method.
so i take it that the only 2 options i have are:
1 - use string related functions
2 - extend nant
