What's happening?

  • property::exists returns true for temporary properties

    Temporary properties created by the foreach task cause the property::exists() function to return true even outside of the foreach task. Referencing these properties of course causes NAnt to fail. See this example:

  • SQL Task crashes NAnt when login fails

    When a SQL Task cannot connect to the specified server/database, it will cause NAnt to crash. This should be changed to just cause the task to fail instead of crashing NAnt.

  • foreach should be able to skip blanks and commented lines

    foreach should skip over blank lines. I don't see any point to processing them. Or at least have an attribute skipblanks="[boolean]" to turn this functionality on. As it is I have to write extra parsing inside the foreach tasks to ignore blank lines. the foreach task should also allow a comment character to skip over lines beginning with this character. For example an attribute like...

  • DoWhile task

    Hi, I'm not really a coder, but I was able to hack something together and figured that others might find it useful, so I thought I'd post it here. If someone wants to add it to a dll or something to make it an official task item, that would be great. I don't currently have the skills to do so. Here's the code: ...

  • Comment: Add function string::expand().

    Maybe it would be more useful to create a flag for dynamic properties on the command line. So you could launch like this: NAnt -D:lbtype:dynamic="${CCNetLabel} ...or something like that.

  • Comment: Add "output" as target property

    Have you considered using the record task in nantcontrib? I use it to record logs of different sections to different files, so that persons only interested in the results a certain section of the script can look at just the file for that section instead of having to sort through the master log. Maybe that is what you are trying to accomplish?.

  • SQL task always adds extra blank line

    The SQL task, when outputting query results to a file specified by the output attribute, always adds an extra blank line to the end of the file.

  • SQL task sends verbose/debug info to output file

    Using the SQL task to perform a query and return the results to a text file specified in the output attribute, verbose debug info will also be sent to that file if NAnt it running in Verbose or Debug logging mode. This behavior is undesirable, because the most logical use of this output file is to have it parsed by a foreach task. Running NAnt in verbose or debug mode means that additional...
