#612 directory::exists cannot resolve set properties
Perhaps I am doing this wrong but the directory::exists does not evaluate to true when using a property like so.
<property name="alpha-core-src-dir" value="c:\temp" />
<if verbose="true" test="${directory::exists('${alpha-core-src-dir}')}">
<echo message="found directory" />
</if>
However this does work but generates a deprecation error..
<available type="Directory" resource="${alpha-core-src-dir}" property="src-dir-exist" />
<if verbose="true" test="${src-dir-exist}">
<echo message="found directory" />
</if>
Should directory::exists be able to resolve a property to a value and test against that?

When properties are passed to functions, they do not need to be enclosed in ${}.
So, use this instead:
<if verbose="true" test="${directory::exists(alpha-core-src-dir)}">
<echo message="found directory" />
</if>
