Re: [nant-dev] Resgen error in 0.8.1

[Gordon W. <gwe...@od...>]

Justin Rudd pointed out that VS.NET won't generate an empty resx file, and I confirmed this is true.  It turns out that the code I was working with was from back in July 2001, so probably VS.NET used to act this way, but no longer.  Anyway, it looks like this is a false alarm.

I've been trying to upgrade to NAnt 0.8.1 from 0.7.9 but I've been getting an error with the build now. I have a web service project that contains a Global.asax.resx file that's empty - this is the way it's always been and it used to compile fine (or more likely, it was ignored), but now I get an error because resgen.exe errors out when it's handed an empty file. It seems like VS.NET will leave a resx file empty until you drag something onto the canvas, so as a workaround I dragged something onto my canvas and then deleted it. I think that this should be handled by NAnt though. Would it be OK to have CompilerBase check if the file size is 0 as part of the NeedsCompiling() method and return false (doesn't need compiling) if the file's empty?
