Hi all
Within the following build.xml, there are 2 targets 'schema.check' and 'rcs.check'. The rcs.check target is the same as the schema.check target except that the name of the module to checked is passed as a parameter of an <antcall> in the 'test' target. >From the value of the properties "foo" and "zor", I understand that computed name of >properties works fine. Thus in the execution traced below, the value of (1)schema.notrequired and (1)tools.notrequired which both are true are correct according to me. But while the (2)schema.property is true, the (2)tools.property is undefined which is surprising. According to me, (2)tools.property should be true as the scope of "tools.property" name should be global as the one for schema.property. Any idea?? <project name="test" default="test"> <property name="build" value="out"/> <property name="${build}.exec" value="bar"/> <property name="foo" value="${out.exec}"/> <property name="zor" value="${build}.exec"/> <target name="schema.check"> <uptodate property="schema.notrequired" targetfile="rcs/schema.rcs" > <srcfiles dir="jar" includes="schema.jar"/> </uptodate> <echo message="(1)schema.notrequired=${schema.notrequired}"/> </target> <target name="rcs.check"> <echo message="module=${module}"/> <uptodate property="${module}.notrequired" targetfile="rcs/${module}.rcs" > <srcfiles dir="jar" includes="${module}.jar"/> </uptodate> <echo message="(1)tools.notrequired=${tools.notrequired}"/> </target> <target name="test" depends="schema.check"> <echo message="build=${build}"/> <echo message="foo=${foo}"/> <echo message="zor=${zor}"/> <antcall target="rcs.check"> <param name="module" value="tools"/> </antcall> <echo message="(2)schema.notrequired=${schema.notrequired}"/> <echo message="(2)tools.notrequired=${tools.notrequired}"/> </target> </project> Apache Ant version 1.5Beta2 compiled on May 31 2002 Buildfile: test.xml Detected Java version: 1.3 in: C:\jdk1.3.1\jre Detected OS: Windows 2000 parsing buildfile test.xml with URI = file:C:/exmlmedia/dev/test.xml Project base dir set to: C:\exmlmedia\dev Build sequence for target `test' is [schema.check, test] Complete build sequence is [schema.check, test, rcs.check] schema.check: [uptodate] schema.jar omitted as C:\exmlmedia\dev\rcs\schema.rcs is up to date.
