Hi All,
This seems like this should be a FAQ, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the archives. It also seems like it might have been better on the user list (and if so I will transfer the conversation there) but I figured I would post it here, because it looks like I might have some coding to do... Can NAnt produce an XML version of the build log? I looked around and found the ConsoleLogger and in NAntContrib there is a file logger but both of these simply write the log information verbatim. I have this sinking feeling that this is going to in fact be very difficult as each task/target formats their log messages individually so that targets have their name prefixed with a : and targets are wrapped like this [task] at the point of log message creation (well the brackets are added in the LogPrefix property). If I am not missing something easier, upon reviewing of the code, I don't see any easy way to get XML output but here are the ways I see -- all of which would mean quite a bit of code changing: 1) Change the logging so that it produces unformatted text, and then a formatter that produces the console style (or xml) output ( a lot of work) 2) Implement a logging system like Ant's that has log events, and allow the logger to handle those events as makes sense (even more work) 3) pattern match the target: name based on the : and the task name based on the [ ] wrapper and just emit xml from an XmlLogger -- Hard to determine where elements end, and even harder to know whether : and [ ] are not false positives in the output (plus this says nothing about informational messages) and really kludgey to boot. OK, so am I missing something? Am I SOL? Or what?
