Ok, I know this is not the NAnt mailing list, but, thought someone here
might have seen this problem. I have an nant task set up something like
this:
<nant>
<executable>C:\Program
Files\nant-0.85\bin\NAnt.exe</executable>
<baseDirectory>.\Build\</baseDirectory>
<buildFile>someBuild.build</buildFile>
<targetList>
<target>cleanBuildDirs</target>
</targetList>
</nant>
The ant build looks something like this:
<project name="Online">
<target name="cleanBuildDirs">
<delete dir="..\dir1" if="${directory::exists('..\dir1')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir2" if="${directory::exists('..\dir2')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir3" if="${directory::exists('..\dir3')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir4" if="${directory::exists('..\dir4')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir5" if="${directory::exists('..\dir5')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir6" if="${directory::exists('..\dir6')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir7" if="${directory::exists('..\dir7')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir8" if="${directory::exists('..\dir8')}"/>
<delete dir="..\dir9" if="${directory::exists('..\dir9')}"/>
<delete file="..\Project.sln"/>
</target>
</project>
Every now and then I get an error from ant complaining that "The directory
is not empty". Here is part of the Nant stack trace:
ber><columnnumber>10</columnnumber></location><stacktrace><![CDATA[ at
NAnt.Co
re.Tasks.DeleteTask.RecursiveDeleteDirectory(String path)
at NAnt.Core.Tasks.DeleteTask.ExecuteTask()

forceDependencies)

at
NAnt.Core.Project.Run()]]></stacktrace><internalerror><type>System.IO.IOException</type><message><![CDATA[The
directory is not empty.
This causes my build to fail. But, more importantly, even if I ignored the
error, the source is not getting deleted. Has anyone seen this and/or have
any suggestions regarding fixing it?
Thanks,
