Category: Functions Group: 0.85 Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Chris Buffett (chris_buffett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: version::get-major() can't convert to System.Version Initial Comment: Using the following code, I get System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. <property name="version.string" value="" /> <xmlpeek file="${installer.codebase}\${installer.project.name}" xpath="/msi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Property']/row/td[text()='ProductVersion']/following-sibling::td[1]" property="version.string" /> <echo message="|${version.string}|" /> <property name="version" value="${version::parse('version.string')}" /> The echo task is outputting |4.0.1.0|, so it appears that ${version.string} is in the correct format (no extraneous white space). Full exception trace: Expression: ${version::parse('version.string')} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at NAnt.Core.ExpressionEvaluator.EvaluateFunction(String functionName, Object[] args) at NAnt.Core.ExpressionEvalBase.ParseValue() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Date: 2007-01-12 08:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707851 Originator: NO Correct. When you want to pass the value of a property to a function, you should not enclose it in quotes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chris Buffett (chris_buffett) Date: 2007-01-12 01:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1248307 Originator: YES Update: This looks to be due to the fact that there are single quote around the property name. Removing them allowed the process to continue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=1633586&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
