Re: [NAnt-users] non-readonly properties

[Bob A. <Bob...@am...>]

Properties set on the command line are always read-only.

If you want to not reset a property value if it was set from the command line you can use overwrite="false".

Also, when you pass false from the command line you don't need to quote it.

Subject: [NAnt-users] non-readonly properties

I have the following properties defined in mynant.build file
                <!-- Use these Bools for enable either Project1 and/or Project2 builds -->
                <property name="enable_project1_build" value="true" readonly="false" />
                <property name="enable_project2_build" value="true" readonly="false" />

But when I run script where I override the defined properties, e.g.,
C:\> nant mynant.build -D:enable_project1_build="false"

I get...
Read-only property "enable_project1_build" cannot be overwritten.

I do echo the values for testing, I get the correct value, so should I just ignore the noise?
