http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42143 Summary: Boolean expressions in if and unless attributes Product: Ant Version: 1.7.0 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Wrapper scripts AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd like to have the possiblity to use expressions in the if attribute - and possibly the unless attribute as well, like so: <target name="jars" depends="compile_B,compile_A" if="plugins_changed and (A_changed or B_changed)"> ... do stuff ... </target> Without, I have to do this: <target name="jars" depends="jars_A_changed,jars_B_changed"> <!-- Fake target to get conditional dependencies working --> </target> <target name="jars_A_changed" if="A_changed"> <antcall target="make_jars"/> <property name="jars_made" value="blah"/> </target> <target name="jars_B_changed" if="B_changed"> <antcall target="make_jars"/> <property name="jars_made" value="blah"/> </target> <target name="make_jars" if="plugins_changed" unless="jars_made"> make jars </target> That's ugly and error-prone. It's something I don't want my successor to encounter. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
