Re: [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file
Hi, I was interested in doing this also...Did someone locate a solution for this in NANT? - steve From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 08:57:32 +0100 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.

Re: [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file
For the purpose of sharing with the user list...I found a technique posted elsewhere. Simply include a property only buildfile in the master buildfile... include buildfile=environment.build / The included build file contains only properties: ?xml version=1.0? project name=My project environment properties default= property name=output-dir value=c:\build\myproject-2.0/ property name=dot-net-framework-bin value=C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727/ property name=env-web-tier-virtual-dir-name value=MyDotNetWeb/ property name=mailhost value=mailhost.mycompany.com/ /project - steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Roy Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file Hi, I was interested in doing this also...Did someone locate a solution for this in NANT? - steve From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 08:57:32 +0100 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.
