Summary: file::exists() fails

Initial Comment:
Hi,
I am using svn 1.4.2 setup.
file::exists() function is not working properly.
It always returns false irrespective of existence of file.
Can someone pls verify it??

Thanks,
Tushar

file::exists() function is not working properly.
It always returns false irrespective of existence of file.

Is it verified by someone?

I'm using file::exists alot in my production scripts and never had a
problem with it. We are using svn 1.4.3 btw - but don't think it could
somehow influence the file:exists function.

Hi,
Thanx for reply.
Here is code I am using:

	<target name="build">
		<property name="filepath" value="c:\mallow.exe"/>
		<echo message="${filepath}"/>
		<if test="${file::exists('${filepath}')}">
			<echo message="File Exists"/>
		</if>
		<if test="${not file::exists('${filepath}')}">
			<echo message="File does not Exist"/>
		</if>
	</target>


In any case it prints, "File does not Exist".
Version of NAnt.Core.dll present is 0.85.2478.0
I am not able to figure out what is wrong.

Thanx,
Tushar
