http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12820 inheritRefs is broken ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-09-25 16:50 ------- I figured out my issue, although I still think there is a little bit of weirdness... I have: build.xml <path id="build.classpath"> <fileset="${build.lib.dir}"> <include name="*.jar"/> <fileset> </path> <target name="sometarget"> <ant antfile="build-contrib.xml" target="control" inheritRefs="true" /> </target> build-contrib.xml <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties" > <classpath refid="build.classpath" /> </taskdef> ... ... <target name="blah"> <if> <not><isset property="somepropery" /></not> <then> <echo message="somproperty not set"/> </then> </if> </target> Ant reports that the build fails with: BUILD FAILED file:D:/myclasses/repository/enhydra/Barracuda_2002-09-23/Barracuda/src/build.xm l:935: Reference build.classpath not found. However, if I move that <taskdef> into a target, I don't get the error. Further, even if I don't get that error, I have to make sure that the target which contains the taskdef gets set up as a dependency of the "control" target so that it runs before any other target using tasks defined by the <taskdef>. I guess I am confused by the fact that the path reference can't be found outside the scope of a target in the child build file? I have properties defined at the top of the build file and they get seen by everything else. Why can't I have a taskdef at the top of a build file, outside a target, that gets seen by everything else? Apparently, I can't because the path reference is not available there. Is that a bug or was that done by design? Jake -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
