Sounds like a good addition. What do you plan to do about failures and errors generated from the <exec/>. It won�t be able to fail the build in the correct place if you don�t wait for it to finish�
I think this is why Ant has the parallel task. The parallel task is synchronous but all the tasks inside can run concurrently. Maybe this would be a way to do the things you want (but those tasks haven't been ported to NAnt yet)? http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/index.html http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/parallel.html -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Andy Sipe Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 8:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [nant-dev] Exec Task Questions I noticed that the exec task always waits for the program to exit before moving on.�� We want to use NAnt as a driver for system level regression tests.� For this we need to be able to start an application and move on to the next target before the application finishes.� � Is there any reason that the Exec task can't be modified to work this way - just looking at the code I can't see any reason.� If not and if no one is working on it then I'd like to go ahead and make some modifications and submit them for review... � Andy ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nant-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers
