Not being very NAnt/Ant knowledgeable yet
(and coming from a GNU make background), does such a task exist? I agree, it
would be nice to be able to differentiate and be explicit about where values
are coming from.

support resolving properties from environment vars
I think it would cause
problems. I never want to specify settings in the environment. I
want everything to be in the .build file. With this patch, the
environment would be silently used, without my knowledge.
I think you're better off
having a task that sets a property from the environment. That way the
usage of environment variables is explicit.

This would be great and would allow for individual
customizations per a developers environment.

Subject: [nant-dev] patch to
support resolving properties from environment vars
don't know if people consider this worthwhile or not,
but i find it very
handy when dealing with projects
broken down into multiple buildfiles. the
patch allows nant to attempt to
resolve properties not in the
PropertyDictionary from the
Environment. So, if you have a property called
"build.dir" but it's not
set in your project, but is set in your
environment, the property will be
pulling in from the environment.
here's the revised indexer, against
/src/NAnt.Core/PropertyDictionary.cs
public virtual string this[string name] {
get {
string value = (string)
Dictionary[(object) name];
if(null == value) {
//try to resolve from
environment
value =
System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(name);
if(null!=value)
value =
ExpandProperties(System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(value));
}
return value;
}
set {
if
(!_readOnlyProperties.Contains(name)) {
Dictionary[name] = value;
}
}
}
