5 cascade attribute doesn't work with dynamic targets - ID: 1906308

Last Update: Comment added ( drieseng )

Details:

In 0.85 this worked:

<call target="${generator.target}" cascade="false" />

but in 0.86-beta1 does not work so I need to do this to make it work:

<call target="${generator.target}" cascade="false"
unless="${target::has-executed(generator.target)}"/>

which is a bit of a pain in the ass since I need to go in and change all my
scripts.

Date: 2008-03-03 19:27 Sender: drieseng Tomasz, this was actually a bug in NAnt 0.85. The fix is documented in the release notes for 0.86 Beta 1. The documentation clearly states that the target will be re-executed: "When the <call> task is used to execute a target, both that target and all its dependent targets will be re-executed." The "cascade" attribute only affects whether dependent targets will be re-executed. Sorry for the trouble this causes for you, but I hope you understand that this fix was necessary.
