Hi Brad,

With Ant, you could specify a file in the <property> task to load a set of properties from a file, but in NAnt you have to do this through using the <include> task (as you guessed) to include the properties file.

One thing to watch out for (as it often comes up on the list) is if you are using namespaces in your files, make sure that the namespace in your properties file is the same as the one you are including it in otherwise the properties won't be resolved.

HTH,

Bill

[NAnt-users] Load properties from a file






I could have sworn that I saw a task in either NAnt or NAntContrib that
would load a set of properties from a separate file.  Since I can't find it
in either NAnt's or NAntContrib's current documentation, I presume that I
was halucinating.  If I'm not, would someone please point me to it?

If there isn't one, it looks like I could use the <include /> task to
accomplish the same thing, i.e. create a file with the properties I want,
but not other targets or tasks, and include it in the current build file,
correct?

Thanks,
Brad
