Re: [nant-dev] Depends targets getting executed multiple times in 8.4

[Scott H. <sk...@eo...>]

Yes, I can confirm this behavior in cvs. This is a bug... :(

  Subject: [nant-dev] Depends targets getting executed multiple times in =
8.4


  After the change to the explicit <call> behavior, now ensuring all =
dependencies get called, there has also been a change to the behavior of =
depends=3D arguments:

  These depends targets now always get called also, even if already =
executed.

  For example:

  <target name=3D"debug" depends=3D"onetimesetup"/>

  <target name=3D"release" depends=3D"onetimesetup"/>

  running "nant debug release" results in onetimesetup being called for =
each target.

  This is contrary to what I would expect "makelike" behavior to be, and =
also contrary to the current documentation for <target>:

  "A target gets executed only once, even when more than one target =
depends on it (see the previous example)."

  I like the change to <call> so you can more easily call targets as =
subroutines, but think the former behavior of depends=3D should be =
restored.
