Category: Core Group: cvs >Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: john roland (jroland) Assigned to: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Summary: command line property Initial Comment: Hi I've got a warning message each time i try to set a property with the -D swith. here is a sample. name file: <project xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant- 0.85.win32.net-1.0.xsd" default="go"> <property name="name" value="john doe" /> <target name="go"> <echo message="Hello ${name}"/> </target> </project> command line: nant -D:name="John smith" message: [property] Read-only property "{0}" cannot be overwritten. It seems like the command line parser is creating an empty parameter for each parameter. keep it up !!! thank you John Roland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Date: 2004-11-25 17:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707851 The error message was incomplete. This was fixed since. However, the behavior is correct. Each property that is set on the command line is read-only by design. You can avoid that warning from being output in the build log by using : <property name="name=" value="john doe" unless="${property::exists('name')}" /> This will only try to set that property if it hasn't been set before. Hope this helps ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=1073214&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
