Category: Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: swquinn () Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Project basedir is not treated as property by default... Initial Comment: Using NAnt-0.91-Alpha2 In adopting NAnt for several build tasks, because of its obvious influences from Apache Ant, I am surprised to find that the basedir attribute on the project does not appear to be codified into an actual useable parameter. The code below generates the property exception: "Propery evaluation failed." <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="Foo" default="build" basedir="."> <include buildfile="${basedir}/foo.xml" /> ... </project> In Ant the basedir attribute is a useable property in string substitutions. Phing--a PHP-based Ant derivative--supports the handling of the basedir property the same way as Ant. It seems only natural NAnt should support this as well. Is there a reason NAnt doesn't support the basedir value as a property? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Dominik Guder (dogu) Date: 2011-09-25 22:31 Message: I don't know why this is not present anymore. There was a property called nant.project.basedir but this is deprecated. see http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/fundamentals/properties.html#built-in-properties To get this directory you might use ${project::get-base-directory} see http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/functions/project.get-base-directory%28%29.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=3311984&group_id=31650 |
