Folks,
It appears to me that the "depends" targets are evaluated/executed
regardless of the"if" test. Is this correct or is this a case of pilot
error? If this is the expected behavior, thats okay, I just wanted to
make sure.
thanks,
don.
Below is a sample.
<project name="test" default="build" basedir=".">
<target name="init"><echo message="ran init"/></target>
<target name="prepare" depends="init"><echo message="ran
prepare"/></target>
<target name="build" if="dont.flag" depends="prepare" />
</project>
Here is the output:
G:\src>ant -buildfile test.xml build
Buildfile: test.xml
init:
[echo] ran init
prepare:
[echo] ran prepare
build:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
