Summary: Get-Parent-Directory() does not work with properties
Initial Comment:
Create a property named "local"containing a local
directory that exists.
say c:\bla\blabla;
Use this property in Get-Parent-Directory('${local}')
and it returns the base dir of the project, not
anticipated c:\bla.
However, if you hardcode
get-parent-directory('c:\bla\blabla') the correct
output is achieved.
code sample
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Generic" default="whatever" >
<property name="adir" value="C:\www
downloads\computer" />
<property name="base_dir"
value="${directory::get-parent-directory('')}" />
<property name="adir.parent"
value="${directory::get-parent-directory('${adir}')}" />
<echo message="basedir = ${adir}" />
<echo message="basedir = ${base_dir}" />
<echo message="adir.parent = ${adir.parent}" />

I've now also added an example of the usage of this function
to its doc page.

This is not a bug. You cannot nest expression evaluation
contexts. While you are in an evaluation context ${}, you
can directly access properties by name.
The critical line in the sample should read:
<property name="adir.parent"
value="${directory::get-parent-directory(adir)}" />
