Re: [etch-users] Question about attribute filtering in config.xml

[Jason H. <jh...@ap...>]

Etch will error out.  I thought I'd documented this but it seems I did not, sorry about that.[1]  Anyway, you have to give etch consistent instructions of what to do.  I.e. after filtering all of the sources have to agree.  Typically in a case like what you are describing you would just have a single script (instead of myscript1, myscript2, etc.) and put appropriate logic in the script to handle the combinations of groups as appropriate.  I.e.

if @groups.include?('group1')
	@contents << 'blah'
elsif @groups.include?('group2')
	@contents << 'foo'
end
